Breast Augmentation Surgery in Los Angeles

Time is not the only thing that marches on. The miracles of modern medicine are marching to a drum that is beating faster than many would have thought possible even a few short decades ago. Take silicone breast implants, for example. I remember when, in the '90s, the words "silicone" and "implant" instantly conjured the word "leak" if used together in the same sentence. Not so now, and the next step in silicone is already available on a trial basis in the U.S. and awaiting FDA approval. These cohesive gel, or gummy bear, implants hold a lot of exciting potential.

Already enjoying popularity in Europe for the natural looking and feeling results they provide, gummy bear breast implants have a consistency that allows the implants to maintain the commonly requested teardrop shape. In addition, clinical studies have shown that cohesive implants have the lowest rate of capsular contracture (hardening of the breasts) and leakage of any implant ever studied.

Dr. Steven Teitelbaum is an enthusiastic supporter of this technology, and is developing the educational material that one implant manufacturer will use to credential surgeons wishing to use them following FDA approval. He has been using cohesive gel implants since 2000, and is the only surgeon in California who was asked to participate in the clinical trials of all three cohesive implant manufacturers.
