Body = CHICAGO, IL, September 25, 2005 – A discussion of new
innovative technologies in cosmetic surgery procedures - including
the “cohesive implants” breast augmentation - will be
led by William P. Adams, Jr., M.D. at the American Society of Plastic
Surgeons conference this weekend. Last year, over 3,000 were in
attendance at this prestigious gathering of the world’s leading
experts on plastic surgery.
Form stable
cohesive gel implants (cited as the “new” silicone implants)
are such a hot topic in the breast augmentation world today because
of their promising ability to provide optimal shape, deter leakage
and minimize complications.
One of the most
compelling benefits of the new cohesive implants is their unique
ability to shape the breast. “These new form stable cohesive
gel implants provide patients with a very natural look and feel,
as well as added potential safety benefits,” says Adams. These
implants feel a lot like natural breast tissue and provide a way
for women to enhance their breast size or shape, or to replace a
breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease.
In fact, gel
implants are known as "gummy bear implants" because they
are made with a more viscous gel than previous silicone models.
“Several major advances in breast augmentation have benefited
patients in the past 5 years, and these devices represent the most
significant device related advance in breast implants for over 20
years. These cohesive gel implants have had great success in Europe
and South America over the past 10-12 years; however, in the US
are only available through FDA clinical trials. The early results
of these trials have been quite favorable. The new implants hopefully
will become more widely available in the US
in 2006 likely after the approval of the older generation silicone
gel implants,” Adams explained.
Dr. William
P. Adams Jr. is regarded as a national expert in breast augmentation
and breast/body contouring procedures and is renowned for his expertise
in breast implant surgery. Dr. Adams has a private plastic surgery
practice based in Dallas, TX and is also an associate clinical professor
in the Department of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical
Center. He is invited all over the world to speak to surgeons, industry
and patients about breast augmentation and breast surgery technologies
and issues.
