Silicone Gel Implants

Silicone Gel implants, contrary to what many people believe, were not taken off the market. These implants were reclassified at the time of the implant controversy, and now are only available in an FDA approved study of gel implants under the care of an approved investigator. Dr. Studin  is one of the relatively few surgeons in the country authorized as an investigator in this study.

Conditions that may qualify a woman for Silicone Gel Implants under the Adjunct Study

• Thin skin with small, hanging breasts.
• Need for a lift and Breast Implants simultaneously.
• Rippling of the skin with saline Breast Implants
• Silicone Breast Implants needing change
• Severe Asymmetry (Large size difference)
• Chest wall deformities

Patients with these problems and existing breast implants can request to be included in the Adjunct Study and have silicone gel Breast Implants. Silicone Gel Breast Implants, according to many surgeons, are the best way to correct skin rippling that occasionally occurs over saline Breast Implants  and can result in a softer breast.  

While silicone gel Breast Implants are not indicated for most patients seeking primary breast enlargement, those patients that have the problems described above should take the time to sit for an extended consultation with either Dr. Studin or one of the other surgeon - investigators in the study and explore their options thoroughly. This choice can sometimes make the difference between a natural and unnatural result in the right patient. It is not true that acceptance into the study reduces the cost of Breast Implants. There is no financial help offered by either the Implant Company or the FDA for this.
