Silicone breast implants have been available in the United States since the early 1960s. They were invented by two surgeons in Houston and rapidly became popular. Until 1976, there was no government agency with the authority to regulate implantable medical devices. The FDA was given that authority and decided to grandfather in breast implants as they had already been in wide use for a decade and a half.
