Proper Placement of Breast Implants

When your goal is for a breast augmentation to improve your appearance, it is not hard to see how important proper placement of breast implants is.

2010-09-11
HOUSTON, TX, September 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Just thinking about improperly placed breast implants can bring up some disturbing visuals. Imagine breasts that are too far apart, too close together, or that are bottoming out. When your goal is for a breast augmentation to improve your appearance, it is not hard to see how important proper placement of breast implants is. And the ultimate success of your breast implant depends on your cosmetic surgeon's experience, judgment, surgical technique and the tools he uses. Some tools offer cutting edge advantages even for the best plastic surgeons.

Importance of Your Breast Implant Consultation

Pay close attention to every detail during your breast augmentation consultation. Consult with several cosmetic surgeons to get a clear idea of how they achieve the proper placement of breast implants. Find out what technology they use then research the brands, models and FDA approved uses of each.

Part of your consultation with your surgeon includes deciding where your implants will be placed. Two options-beneath the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle-tend to result in fewer complications.

Planning also considers breast implant type, shape and size paired with your existing volume of breast tissue and muscle thickness. Your cosmetic surgeon's experience and accuracy in envisioning your outcome is critical. His skill in surgically creating his vision is essential.

Vectra 3-D Imaging System

One recent development is the Vectra 3-D Imaging System, which helps you and your surgeon envision your final results. First the Vectra takes several images of your body from different angles. Then you program the size and type of implant into the Vectra 3-D Imager which it applies to your images, and produces a simulation of how those implants will look after surgery. Such technology can only reinforce your surgeon's experienced judgment.

But there are some other tools that can make your surgery safer with faster healing and less post-operative discomfort.

Keller Funnel for Silicone Implant Placement

One of the country's most prominent cosmetic surgeons uses an implant placement device called the Keller Funnel for silicone implant placement. This funnel makes it possible to use smaller incisions that result in less scarring and faster healing. The funnel is well lubricated so placement is far gentler than possible with previous methods. The gentle placement reduces the trauma, thus reducing the likelihood that scar tissue and capsular contracture will develop. And the design of the funnel reduces skin contact and the chance of infection.

If you are planning to have breast implants but have not given much thought to proper breast implant placement please visit the website of Michael Ciaravino, M.D., F.A.C.S., one of the nations' leading breast augmentation cosmetic surgeons, at www.thebodydoc.com.

Employee Misconduct Claims in New Jersey: Separating Fact From Fiction

2010-09-11
Employment in New Jersey is generally on an "at will" basis. This means the employee is free to quit at any time and the employer may fire the employee at any time for any reason - except for unlawful discrimination. When the employer offers an explicit employment contract or modifies "at will" status through an employer's handbook, then employee rights and responsibilities are governed by the terms of those documents. Employer handbooks are treated like contracts, unless the handbook states (and some do) that employees cannot rely on it. New Jersey courts have said: ...

The Employee Misclassification Prevention Act of 2010

2010-09-11
Employee misclassification can take place in several situations, including when a worker who should be classified as an employee of a business is illegally and improperly treated as a self-employed independent contractor. While some cases of misclassification are the result of honest mistakes or misapplication of employment laws, many businesses deliberately misclassify workers in order to avoid the taxes, benefits and other expenses that employers are legally obligated to pay for their employees. Companies that engage in this practice save money for themselves at the ...

BP Oil Spill Victims Continue to File for Damages

2010-09-11
A seven-member federal judicial panel in Idaho recently heard arguments about which jurisdiction is best suited for a consolidation of more than 300 lawsuits against BP and other companies involved in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. According to the Associated Press, some of the nearly two dozen attorneys argued that it might be unfair to move a consolidated case to Houston, where BP would like the proceedings to take place. Most of the plaintiffs appeared to favor New Orleans, as does the Justice Department. No matter where the case is finally heard, it's clear that ...

The New Changes in Florida's Complicated Child Support Laws

2010-09-11

NY Pilot Program Aimed at Reducing Preventable Medical Mistakes

Financial Reform Legislation and Transparency in Hedge Fund Management

2010-09-11
With the economy sputtering, seeking to recover from the Great Recession that followed the financial meltdown of 2008, Congress worked for more than a year to develop comprehensive financial reform legislation. The result was the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which President Obama signed on July 21. Dodd-Frank contains many features intended to require more transparency in financial transactions, so that elaborately packaged products do not create and disguise excessive risk that can harm unwary investors and consumers. The concerns that ...
