I’m considering breast surgery, but I’m concerned with the safety issues regarding the use of implants. What should I know before considering surgery?
Breast augmentation is still one of the most requested cosmetic procedures. We have used saline implants with hundreds of patients. These types of implants have been used for many years in both cosmetic and reconstructive breast procedures with an extremely high degree of safety and a minimal complication rate. Last fall, the FDA approved silicone gel breast implants, declaring them safe and effective for all women over the age of 22. You may remember that silicone implant availability was restricted in the United States for several years amid safety concerns. After fourteen years of additional research, the FDA found there was no evidence that the devices caused additional health risks for women. You now have a choice of implants, each with its own advantages. Dr. Galante is ready to help you evaluate the options and decide which type is right for you.
