The recent FDA approval of silicone implants — ending a 14-year virtual ban — has far-reaching ramifications in Texas, home to the nation’s only breast implant manufacturing facility and anecdotally known as one of the augmentation capitals of the United States.
All made-in-the-U.S.A. breast implants start here, at a 145,000-square-foot factory located in an industrial office park near the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Might as well. That way they don’t have to travel so far to get to their new owner.
In the early 90’s I saw many (several hundred?) patients with, what we called then, adjuvant breast disease, a systemic disorder caused by diffuse silicone gel after an implant burst.
Buyer beware.
