Are the Mcghan SOFT TOUCH implants FDA approved?

As these have a different gel make up as they are supposed to be softer?

I honestly don't think they are.. I'll have a check over tomorrow though

To the best of my knowledge they are not FDA approved. Annie's suggestion to seek expert advice would be the best route for confirmation.

Iv come to the conclusion that most of the implants that were FDA approved dont actually exist to use today in the U.K anyway.

Iv checked the ranges against the manufacturers catalogue and all but one (mcghan 110s) are not in the catalogues, and Iv never heard of anyone whos had the 110s either.- The suregons dont seem to recommend them.

Annie66. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately Snake will no longer reply to my posts on his blog. Back in February I posted on his blog about a consultation I had with Transform. He seemed to think I worked for them (yet i had nothing nice to say about them!) I was simply reiterating what they told me, I didnt believe what they were telling me so I went to him for advice. I didnt read the rules on his blog and posted the name of the company/surgeon (which got edited out anyway) perhaps that was why he thought I worked for them?!, he has since not replied to any more of my posts.

Ill try and pop him a message on here, maby he'll reply as its a general question.

I agree. I think with all the silicone/saline debate the FDA need to be extra (and IMO overly) cautious about the implants they approve.

I agree too. I think the US are behind us and other parts of Europe, Canada and Australia in terms of implants as they still use saline which has been proven to grow mould in and make people very sick, whereas we only use cohesive silicone. I'm happy with my implants even if they arent FDA approved as i know they are of a high standard and have been tested x

Very true nads, I've seen so many pics of saline implants filled with mould... makes you wonder how they can still implant them.

Thats gross, why would anyone want them in their body if bacteria is going to grow.

Alot of US girls are still scared of silicone after the scare as they were banned and also saline is nearly $1000 dollars cheaper and alot of young girls without much money just opt for it as its cheaper, sad but true

I guessed cost had something to do with it.

Yeah, it's a shame really. Saline is a great idea in theory (it's only saltwater so if they leak it's safe blah blah) however in practice it's just not the best technology out there.
