If you’ve been considering breast augmentation with Dr. Smith, you’ve likely been doing some research, and you’ve probably come across news about a recall of textured breast implants. Here’s what’s going on. This issue first came to light in the public on March 21, 2017. That was when the U.S. FDA made a safety announcement […]
Breast augmentation isn’t a perfect science, and there are times when a patient desires implant revision surgery. Whether she decided she would simply like larger implants or whether there has been some other issue, revision surgery is generally easier than the original surgery. This is because in most cases the incisions can be made along […]
