Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology wants to reassure its patients that we only use Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved silicone breast implants.
You may have read in the media about recent events in Europe regarding defective breast implants. We have received a flurry of calls from patients asking about the safety of their silicone breast implants. Many patients are calling our offices asking if they should be concerned or if they should do anything. We want to help clarify the news and educate our patients that have silicone breast implants as well as those that are considering breast enlargement.
Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology wants to reassure its patients that we only use Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved silicone gel breast implants. The silicone breast implants that have been withdrawn in Europe where never approved for use in the United States. The implants were manufactured Poly Implant Prosthese (PIP) in France and by Rofil Medical in the Netherlands. Both manufacturers used inferior, industrial grade silicone in the silicone breast implant products they produced and sold. These breast implants also have a higher rupture rate than other silicone gel breast prostheses. The FDA inspects silicone gel breast implants manufactured and available in the US to insure the purity of the silicone.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) agrees with The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) in supporting the French authorities that recommend removal of the implants as a precaution even if there are no signs or symptoms suggestive of rupture or leakage. Other health authorities are making similar recommendations.
The PIP and Rofil silicone gel breast implants were available in England, France, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Germany and the Czeck Republic. They were introduced in 2001. If you now live in the US and suspect you may have one of these implants and are interested in a consultation, we would be glad to assist. Please bring an implant ID or obtain one from the surgeon who performed the augmentation. American Board of Plastic Surgery certified Plastic Surgeons at Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology would be more than glad to speak to you, discuss your options and clarify any concerns you may have. Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology has offices in Charlotte, Gastonia, and Hickory.
