SILICONE GEL-FILLED BREAST IMPLANTS:  As you may or may not be aware, silicone implants had been removed from the market for investigation some years ago. There were claims that, upon rupture or leaking, the silicone released into a person's body could cause medical issues and even some diseases.  However, after a thorough, wide spread study encompassing over ten years and thousands of patients, silicone breast implants have been determined to be a safe alternative to the saline filled implants that have been in use during this investigative phase.  Whether you are seeking cosmetic breast surgery or reconstructive surgery, be sure to discuss the pros and cons of BOTH types of implants with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before making your own informed choice.  Your physician should be willing and able to answer all of your questions concerning these two type of implants in detail. This is a personal choice for each patient and should be your decision of make after considering the information given you by your physician. We are happy to answer any of your general questions - feel free to call to speak with our Patient Care Coordinator at any time in conjuction with or prior to making an appointment with our physicians.

RADIESSE is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler used for long lasting wrinkle correction.  This product is especially effective for smile lines and for wrinkles around the nose and mouth.  RADIESSE is made of a unique calcium-based gel which is injected into the skin, usually with the assistance of a local anesthetic for added patient comfort. Injection of this procedure stimulates a patient\'s own collagen production, thereby improving results and extending the longevity of these results, in many cases for up to 12 months!  Feel free to call our office directly to discuss this exciting product as well as various other injectables and fillers with our patient care coordinator or to make an appointment with one of our Board Certified Plastic Surgeons offering this treatment. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
