Birmingham breast augmentation - news from the Atlanta breast symposium

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.
2010 seems poised to be a very exciting year for breast 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!
