In November 2006, the FDA approved the return of silicone breast implants to the U.S. market, ending a partial ban on silicone breast implants that began in 1992 over health concerns if the implants ruptured and leaked.

Women got nearly 10 million cosmetic procedures done in 2006. That's an increase of 9% from 2005 and a 55% increase since 2000, according to the ASPS.
