A breast implant is not a timeless device. They age just like the rest of us. This means that unless you received your breast implants later in life, chances are that they will need to be replaced at some point. This could be 10 years after your original augmentation, 20 years or even longer….

In my professional career, up until the last decade, fat has been the enemy. I have performed countless body contouring procedures, removing fat from areas where patients had too much such as the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. And when the procedure was over, I just threw the fat away. What a waste! Fat is…

With over 30 years in practice, I’ve learned a thing or two.
