Last weekend was the 2010 Atlanta Breast Symposium, one of the biggest meetings of the year for cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. A quick summary of highlights- rumors continue to swirl that form stable "gummy bear" implants will be available in the United States later this year. No one willing to go on the record with a firm date.
- the techniques for breast augmentation using fat grafting are improving quickly in terms of reliability and predictability. The safety & feasibility of these techniques on a large scale are still debated
- "oncoplastic" surgery techniques are advancing at an amazing rate. There are some real exciting things I can offer patients to improve their breast cancer reconstruction surgery.
We offer all these advanced techniques and procedures in our practice. If you are in the Birmingham,AL area and wish to set up a consult, call my office at 205-298-8660.
Cheers!
