After 14 years, women who want to surgically add more curves to their figures again have a choice: saline or silicone.
However, those who opt for the newly approved silicone breast implants may find their choice is padded in confusion, frustration and added costs.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration lifted its ban on silicone gel implants, dismissing concerns about harmful effects from leaks as unsupported by extensive testing. But the agency, along with manufacturers of the implants, urged women to undergo a special magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) every couple of years "over a woman's lifetime" to detect ruptures.
The series of MRIs could cost women $10,000 in the first 10 years, on top of the costs of the original cosmetic surgery, usually $5,000 to $8,000.

It would be very impractical to undergo MRI every couple of years after having breast augmentation. Aside from it is very costly, it is much expensive than the cosmetic surgery itself.
