Dr. Buford Discusses Superior Results with Silicone Gel Breast Implants

Dr. Buford Discusses Superior Results with Silicone Gel Breast Implants

October 25, 2010

According to recent survey conducted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 40% of Plastic Surgeons in the United States are using silicone gel implants since their re-approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2006. Following some speculation regarding patient safety and the use of silicone, the FDA pulled all silicone breast implants off the market for further testing. However, after a 14-year moratorium and countless studies, many still ongoing, the FDA found silicone implants to be safe for use in breast augmentation patients 22 or older, and breast reconstruction patients of any age.

Dr. Buford says he believes silicone breast implants provide superior cosmetic enhancement results, mainly because the gel component closely resembles the look and feel of natural breast tissue. Safety and education are always top priorities, regardless of the type of implants his patients prefer. In the end however, Dr. Buford more closely aligns his professional expertise and opinion with the international preference for silicone gel breast implants.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, which may require more surgery. Breast implants have been associated with a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL. Patients have also reported a variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others.

Natrelle® Breast Implants are for breast augmentation and revision surgery in women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants.

You should not get breast implants if you currently have an active infection, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or are pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor about any conditions you have, any medications you are taking, and any planned cancer treatments. Breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery.

Having implants removed and not replaced may lead to permanent cosmetic changes of the breasts. Breast implants may affect breastfeeding. Gel implants may rupture without symptoms, so periodic imaging after surgery is recommended.

Key complications are reoperation, implant removal, implant rupture, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe capsular contracture.

Talk to your doctor for more information.

The use of Natrelle® Breast Implants is restricted to licensed physicians who provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of breast implant surgery.
