In our second article, discussing the latest trends in plastic surgery, we explore the area of breast augmentation. As the number one procedure in America, it would make sense for it to get a makeover to adapt to new technologies. In fact, two procedures are going to be really talked about in 2009.
Some surgeons will be working on refining the technique of breast enhancement with fat injections. Once considered unsafe, this procedure is now being condoned for “touch-ups” after a patient has an augmentation surgery.
Gummy bear implants also may become more popular. For this implant, a silicone gel is used, but it has the consistency of a gummy bear, so it is leak-resistant. These have beeen done with great success in Europe and Brazil.
Several new surgical options are becoming available for patients to utilize. For more information about these procedures and more, contact your plastic surgeon today!
