One of the most important aspects of a breast implant procedure, whether done for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons, is the choice of implant. Because breast enhancement goals and body type are unique to each woman, Dr. Dev spends a great deal of time with you at your breast enhancement consultation in his Bakersfield plastic surgery office to be certain that he understands the size and projection you desire. Also, he will advise you as to how the various choices in size and projection will look on your frame, which includes your height, current weight and current breast size.

Dr. Dev offers Allergan’s Natrelle® breast implants for two primary reasons:

• Natrelle® offers a broad range of implants—over 140 choices to be exact—enabling him to choose the right implant for the most ideal result. These 140+ implants include varieties in style and shape, with a complete range of volume and texture, and are offered in both silicone-filled and saline-filled versions.

Features of the Natrelle® gel implant include:

• Patented Patch Design – A patented taper-cut patch hole reduces patch thinning, allowing for a smoother patch seam and improved joint strength.
• Exclusive 360° Barrier Shell Technology – helps reduce possible silicone diffusion through shell.
• Proprietary BIOCELL® Texturing – designed to promote tissue adherence, which helps maintain implant orientation.
• Cohesive Silicone Gel – cross-links the silicone polymer to provide a more cohesive structure should shell integrity become compromised. Cohesive filler minimizes creases that can lead to shell abrasion, reducing chances of rupture.
• Low Rupture Rates – 8.6% rupture rate for primary augmentation and 0% rupture rate for revision augmentation at 7 years based on MRI cohort data in the FDA-monitored Allergan Core Study.
