Fwd: RE: [SiliconeKids] Study Shows Saline Breast Implants Have Minimal Deflation Over Time

[Guest guest]

Note: forwarded message attached.

Doctor s is also the all " great one " who envented the new gummy bear

implants and the jackass that testified for the manufactures in my trail.

You should have seen this " sissy boy " perform, as he testified against a

dead doctor that could not defend him self, yuk! The young MALE compainions

he brought to court to watch him ACT were so very proudy of their big daddy

during their little hug fiest. Lana

>Study Shows Saline Breast Implants Have Minimal

>Deflation Over Time

>

>(PRWEB) - LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) September 9, 2005 –

>- Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most

>popular forms of cosmetic or elective surgery in the

>United States. It is estimated that a quarter of a

>million people will receive implants in 2005 and that

>number is expected to grow in upcoming years. While

>the FDA continues its studies on alternative breast

>implant materials, saline implants remain the most

>common implant material used in breast augmentation –

>they provide good results and are not associated with

>the side effects of older silicon breast implants.

>Despite their benefits, some rare complications exist

>such as deflation. Deflation rates of up to 10% over a

>five-year period have been reported.

>

>Dr. W. Grant s conducted a study to gain more

>information on the actual rate of deflation. He

>studied 645 implants in 324 women over a five-year

>period and used data obtained from operative logs and

>patient charts. The women ranged in age from 18 to 52

>and all patients received the Mentor Siltex saline

>implants.

>

> " We saw great results, " said Dr. s. " It was

>better than what the manufacturer even expected. "

>After one year the average deflation rate was a barely

>perceptible .3%; after three years it was 2.2%. At

>five years it was only at 5.2%, far below the

>manufacturer " s stated claim of 10%. While the study

>did prove a correlation between time and deflation,

>the data itself was very encouraging. There still

>exists a risk of spontaneous deflation with saline

>implants, but for the majority of women who have

>successful augmentation using Siltex implants, the

>very low deflation rates were very encouraging.

>

> " We wanted to have an extended study because existing

>data was lacking. All of the procedures were performed

>using the same techniques and all of the patients came

>in for regular check ups for five years, " said Dr.

>s. " Mentor Siltex saline implants proved to be

>excellent implants. "

>

>The earliest deflation was not seen for almost two

>years after augmentation surgery (685 days after the

>surgery). The latest deflation didn " t begin for 4.5

>years (1666 days after surgery). Saline implants tend

>to deflate unilaterally, which means only one implant

>deflates. In the study, all but two of the deflations

>were unilateral. Of the two patients that experience

>bilateral deflation, the deflation rates were not the

>same for each implant. After five years the average

>deflation rate was 5.2%, almost half of the expected

>results.
