Silicone Breast Implants approved by the FDA
For those of us who have been waiting since 1992 for
the FDA to release silicone breast implants to the general public- the
waiting is over! As of November 2006, any woman 18 years of age or older
undergoing any type of breast implant operation (first time augmentation,
implant replacement, or a breast lift with implants) may use silicone breast
implants. Because silicone implants are softer and thus more natural
feeling, it is believed that many of the more than 400,000 women in this
country who undergo breast implant surgery each year will opt to use
silicone instead of saline.
For more information or if you think you might be a good
candidate for silicone gel implants, please contact our office
at 954-630-2009 for your complimentary consultation!

Plastic Surgery
Procedures Increase 32% in 2006
More than 8.7 million cosmetic
plastic surgery procedures were performed in 2006, representing a 32% increase
over the 6.6 million procedures performed during 2005. The rise in procedure
rates seems to reflect the public's growing realization of the positive change
plastic surgery can bring to their lives under the right conditions, says ASPS
President Rod Rohrich, M.D.
Perhaps most notable were increase
in minimally invasive procedures (up 41%) and body contouring following
gastric bypass (bariatric) surgery (up 36%). More than 52,000 post-bariatric
procedures were performed, including tummy tucks, breast lifts, lower body
lifts, arm lifts and thigh lifts.
The most popular surgical
procedures for 2004 included: rhinoplasty (356,554), liposuction (320,022),
breast augmentation (254,140), eyelid surgery (246,633) and facelift surgery
(246,633). The most popular non-surgical procedures included: Botox injections
(2.9 million), chemical peels (995,238), microdermabrtasion treatments
(935,984), laser hair reduction (623,297) and collagen injections
(576,255).
