MRI Recommendation for Silicone Gel Implants

March 17th, 2010  

When and how often should you get an MRI after a Silicone Gel Breast Augmentation? The FDA allowed Silicone breast implants back on the market November 17, 2006. They have recommended that you get an MRI at least 3 years post op and every 2 years after that. We want to know, what are your thoughts and feelings on this?

Orange County Lipo or Lunch?

March 4th, 2010  

Newport Beach Liposuction at Lunch!!!

Well let me start by asking how long is your lunch????

Even if your lunch is an hour,  it’s not realistic to think you are going to go to your plastic surgeon have him numb and liposuction your abdomen and return  to work ready to complete your day with a smile on your face. The reality is that liposuction of the abdomen can be done under an I.V. sedation and it will probably take about one hour.  The unrealistic part is that you are then going to go back to work ready to complete your work day with a smile on your face..


This is a fairly simple procedure with minimal possibility of complications. That being said you will still need someone to drive you home. You will have to wear some type of a binder or girdle for about three weeks. The thought of having this done without some type of sedation is something I would not want to go through. I would rather take the afternoon off, have some sedation allowing my doctor concentrate on the surgery at hand instead of worrying that I am moving around and in pain and anxious.

Saline vs. Silicone

How do you choose between the 2? Well according to the FDA you have to be at least 22 years of age for Silicone.

The advantages of Silicone are:

  • Less noticeable rippling on the side
  • Best for thinner people with less breast tissue
  • Best for people going to a large size, more than what is suitable for their frame

The advantages of Saline:

  • Less expensive
  • Adjustable for people that have asymmetrical breast
  • Used for all ages
