Abstract

Since the introduction of the silicone gel prosthesis in 1962, breast augmentation has become one of the most frequently performed operations in plastic surgery. As we strive for perfect results, it is important to continue to gather and review data evaluating innovative techniques and devices. Now we even have more options available for breast augmentation, whether we use them in combination or alone. By combining all of the available options (acellular dermal matrix products, silicone implant, fat grafting), we have been able to create "bioengineered breasts" with high patient and surgeon satisfaction. As always in plastic surgery, our concern is with safety; as newer technology and products are introduced to us, patient education, consent, and follow-up remain important.
