It began in the 19th century when a surgeon named Robert Gersuny experimented with paraffin injections, only to stop shortly after when it leaked into other parts of the body. A few years later, the first successful breast implant emplacement occurred when a surgeon harvested a benign lumbar tumor to correct breast asymmetry. Moving on into the first half of the twentieth century, physicians began inserting, wait for it….. glass balls and even wood for breast implants. Yes, you did read that, WOOD! Some even tried ivory, polyurethane, sponges, and ox cartilage. You can guess the results of those attempts. Next, doctors began […]

They’re not even on the market yet in the United States, but the gummy bear breast implants are already being touted by some as the next “wave” in breast augmentation.
In clinical trials in the U.S. for the last decade. The highly cohesive gel, formstable (a.ka. “gummy bear’), breast implants are available just about everywhere else. They combine the safety of saline breast implants with the natural feel of silicone breast implants.

Everyone has heard the phrase “You are what you eat”. The phrase applies not only to internal health but to our appearance as well. Dr. Jennifer Walden, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, recently appeared on an Austin, Texas television show to talk about our food choices and how it affects our looks.

At the Academy Awards this year there was one winner that really got my attention: Best Short Documentary: Saving Face. This is a great story and one in which plastic surgery plays a leading role.
This documentary is about two Pakistani women who are victims of acid violence, and the London based, Pakistani born plastic surgeon Mohammad Jawad who helps to reconstruct their faces. Each year over 100 people, mostly women, are injured in Pakistan when acid is thrown on them, a common form of domestic violence. Resultant injuries are horrific, and most of these cases go unreported. Dr. Jawad works […]
