(firmenpresse) - SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/02/14 -- Breast implant technology has advanced considerably since modern implants debuted in the 1960s, explains Wesley G. Schooler, and they continue to improve with each passing year. For this reason and others, he explains that many patients with a history of are considering exchanging their current implants for newer versions that may offer greater longevity, enhanced durability, and more natural-looking results.

This condition, which causes the breast to feel overly firm as a result of scar tissue development, is one of the most common causes for desiring breast implant replacement, he adds. Other include asymmetry, implant rupture, deflation, wrinkling, and cosmetic dissatisfaction. Implant type also plays a role. The FDA approved silicone implants in 2006 after a brief period of unavailability due to additional testing, and many individuals prefer the typically more natural look and feel of the material; furthermore, explains the Santa Barbara plastic surgeon, shaped forms can also offer an enhanced outcome often favored by many individuals. The multitude of appealing options has led a number of women to consider this procedure, he concludes.
As popular as breast implant replacement can be, it is not appropriate for everyone.

Additionally, he examines a patient's aesthetic goals and current health to see if they are compatible with undergoing this procedure.

As the procedure typically requires an adjustment to the size and shape of the implant pocket, a particularly complex procedure, he says, individuals should research surgeons with specific expertise in breast augmentation and breast revision surgery.
A board-certified plastic surgeon with over 11 years of training, is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he also completed General Surgery and Critical Care training. From there he relocated to the University of California, San Francisco to complete his plastic surgery residency.
