Contemplating Breast Augmentation in Canton

Breast Implants Michigan – When I recall the worries that emerged around silicone gel-filled breast implants Breast Implants Michigan in the early nineties, it reminds me of a cartoon from the time of a woman with a deflated chest and bell-shaped legs glaring at a scientist, implying that the gel from her implants had not only leaked but found its way down through her body to slosh around her ankles. Of course, silicone gel is more likely to remain in the shell or the implant pocket. In fact it may be difficult even to detect a leak in a silicone implant without an ultrasound or MRI scan.

Much been learned since the FDA withdrew its approval of silicone breast implants nearly two decades ago (FDA approval was restored in 2006; silicone breast implants are currently available for augmentation in women 22 years and up). Still, the bulk of critical information about breast implants is only applicable on a personal basis, based on the individual physiology of the patient. This makes your doctor consultation very important. Dr. Bazzi is a board certified Michigan plastic surgeon who can provide you the personalized information you need.
