If you had breast implant surgery and received PIP Breast Implants in the USA, they were saline.
The PIP Breast Implants that are causing severe injury in other countries are silicone gel filled.
Though there are also reports of thin wall/implant rupture with these implants, the FDA kept PIP silicone implants out of this market.

What causes facial lines, wrinkles, folds, jowls...?
NO BONES ABOUT IT! We have all heard this popular refrain on aging.

I want a youthful change... but, I have no idea how to begin, or who to trust!
When it comes to Aesthetic Facial treatments, patients are often at a loss. Searching for the right product and the right health care practitioner is tough. There are so many options on the market and so many aesthetic practitioners in all kinds of settings. How does a patient chose? This is so intimidating. We wear these decisions, literally, on our faces.
We tell patients "Go with the best, not the least expensive. Check references." In a perfect world, patients would shop for an injector with scrutiny. The patient doesn't know what she (or he) doesn't know. So, what should a patient asked? And what should you be prepared to answer? We are so glad you asked!
Following is a top ten list of things patients should know about their choice of aesthetic injector. This list may seem a bit unnerving to a patient, and they may fret they will sound confrontational here. But if this information is openly shared with the patient, you should gain their trust for all the right reasons.
