Breast implants' popularity rises
THE WASHINGTON POST

Sunday, September 22, 2002

The number of women electing to get breast implants is increasing rapidly. A record 220,000 American women chose to undergo breast augmentation last year, and the industry projects an almost 10 percent increase this year.

That is twice the number of women getting cosmetic breast implants a decade ago, before the Food and Drug Administration strictly limited use of silicone-gel implants.
