The National Breast Implant Registry

The National Breast Implant Registry was set up at the Wessex Centre for Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at Odstock Hospital in Salisbury (now the Odstock Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery, Salisbury District Hospital) in 1993 in response to a recommendation by the Department of Health's Independent Expert Advisory Group. The remit for the registry was to establish a patient cohort for any future studies of breast implantation and associated effects. The aim was to collect basic information on a large proportion of the procedures carried out in both public and private sectors in the UK.

Is there any similar department in the United States? Do they keep track of every breast implant?
