New Breast Implant Approved by the FDA

 
Atlanta breast augmentation patients now have one more choice in breast implants! Allergan, one of the nation’s top breast implant manufacturers, has received approval from the FDA to market its Natrelle 410 implants for women 22 years of age or older. The first approval from the FDA since the Sientra implants in 2012, the 410 can be inserted in women of any age for cases of breast reconstruction due to cancer, trauma or severe breast asymmetry.

The FDA approval was based on 7 years of data collected from the use of the implants in 941 women nationwide. Although a small number of women had complications such as capsular contracture (tightening of the pocket around the implant) or infection, these complications are rare and similar to problems experienced with other implants.

The 410 was designed to mimic the natural slope of a breast. Its gel both helps maintain the shape of the implant and is designed to stay soft over time.

Our Atlanta cosmetic surgery practice will be offering the Natrelle 410 "gummy bear" implants! To see some of our natural breast implant before and after photos, click this link.
