Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about
breast enlargement:

Do you do silicone gel implants as part of one of the studies?

Yes, certain studies and not others, and also silicone implants that are not part of any study. The patient, if eligible, must agree to participate in a registry and keep her follow-up appointments. Eligibility must be determined on a case-by-case basis after a consultation. It should be pointed out here that silicone gel-filled implants cannot be inserted through the navel at this time.
