Silicone breast impants making a comeback

Silicone breast implants were largely shunned about a decade ago due to the implants themselves leaking and causing issues inside the bodies of females who elected to have the small surgery. What happened?

Well, implants containing a harmless saline solution started being used. Today, the silicone kind are making a comeback, and this has several plastic surgery specialists worried about their use and the need for follow-up care after breasts are enlarged.

The FDA just recently approved silicone implants based on doctors scheduling annual MRIs to ensure patients that no ruptures had occurred. Sounds reasonable enough to me -- but is it up to the doctors to police themselves to ensure patients are brought back in for routine checks after silicone implants are used?
