Not available in the US
Is it correct that macrolane is not available in the US?

Yes that's correct, not available in the US at the moment. I guess it will be eventually.

It's bound to reach you before long I would think, but so many women in the US are going for BA I don't know how many will settle for macrolane. I think they might regard it as second best. Confused

I see your point, but macrolane is about having a safer option and many women would probably prefer a safer option than the implant option.

It actually could be many years. In the US all injectible substances have to go through a rigorous approval procedure, so I wouldn't expect macrolane to get on the market there anytime soon.

Some doctors in the US are saying that macrolane may never be approved there. Here's something I just happened to come across:

"Macrolane is a hyaluronic acid product being used in Europe to provide breast augmentation. It is not FDA approved in the US, and no one knows if it ever will be. I recently saw a patient that had this performed in Europe. She actually came in for a breast augmentation consult. Her breasts were unusually firm and lumpy from the product. I wouldn't recommend using it, because it is unclear what the long term sequelae will be."

I agree. There's nothing to say that macrolane will ever get approved in the USA. It's certainly not inevitable.

Approval of macrolane in the US is certainly not inevitable, but that doesn't necessarily add up to a negative implication for the procedure. I personally think that it will be approved there eventually, but it could take quite some time.
