Silicone Breast Implants: FDA Approved

July 29th, 2010

 

West Palm Beach based board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Kapp offers both silicone and saline breast implants for breast augmentation procedures.  Breast augmentation can achieve dramatic and beautiful results on its own as well as in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery or non-invasive procedures. Dr. Kapp sometimes recommends combining breast augmentation with other procedures such as a breast lift for more satisfying results. 

Breast implants are silicone shells filled with either saline (salt water) or silicone gel. Both implant types are very safe, and each offers its own advantages. Dr. Kapp will help you decide which kind is right for you. During surgery, he will place the implants behind each breast, underneath either breast tissue or the chest wall muscle.

Although silicone implants received criticism in the nation media for many years, in 2006, after rigorous scientific review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the marketing of silicone gel-filled breast implants made by two companies for breast reconstruction in women of all ages and breast augmentation in women ages 22 and older. 

“The FDA has reviewed an extensive amount of data from clinical trials of women studied for up to four years, as well as a wealth of other information to determine the benefits and risks of these products,” said Daniel Schultz, M.D., Director, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, FDA.  “The extensive body of scientific evidence provides reasonable assurance of the benefits and risks of these devices.  This information is available in the product labeling and will enable women and their physicians to make informed decisions.”

If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, please call Dr. Daniel Kapp at (561) 833-4022 to schedule your consultation.

July 15th, 2010

Summer Savings from West Palm Beach-Based Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Daniel L. Kapp, M.D.

 

Mention this blog post and receive 10% Off All Injectables between now and August 31st.  Injectable fillers are a non-invasive, more cost-effectiev alternative to a full face lift.  Fillers also provide dramatic, natural results almost instantly. 

 

To find out which filler is right for you, call West Palm Beach-Based Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kapp today at (561) 833-4022 and make your appointment.

 

Fillers offered by Dr. Daniel Kapp in West Palm Beach, Florida:

 

BOTOX® Cosmetic is commonly used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is injected under the skin into areas surrounding the eyes, forehead and mouth to smooth crow’s feet, frown and worry lines, and lines on the neck. Made from a purified protein, BOTOX® relaxes wrinkles and gives the face a rejuvenated look. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye and neck muscle spasms.

 

JUVÉDERM Injectable Gel® is an injectable gel that gently reverses many signs of aging in the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also “plump up” the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful oval shape to the face. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin.

 

Restylane® is designed to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips and shape facial contours. It is a clear, synthetic gel made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It carries little risk of allergic reaction. The most common areas for treatment are the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth). With its unique ability to bind with water, Restylane® remains in your skin for many months.

Sculptra Aesthetic is a new type of facial injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to replace lost collagen. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that appear with aging by replacing lost collagen. The main ingredient is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used by physicians for decades.  Sculptra Aesthetic is not an overnight miracle, but the first facial injectable that gives you subtle results over time, replacing lost collagen and giving you a more natural-looking appearance, without giving you away.
