FDA approves new silicone gel-filled breast implant

Dr. Kind and Dr. Chang are now certified to use the newest silicone gel implants made by Allergan.  The Natrelle 410 implants have been referred to as “gummy bear” implants because of they contain a highly cohesive silicone gel.  These shaped implants have a more natural contour and can be used for either augmentation or reconstruction.  Not everyone, however,  is a candidate for these implants .   It is important to discuss this with your doctor.
