00:00Natrel is a breast implant company and I choose Natrel for my patients and myself because

00:06of their 35 years of experience creating safe breast implants.

00:10I also choose Natrel because they have the widest variety of implant profiles as well

00:15as three different gummy cohesive gels.

00:18The importance of this wide profile of implants is that I'm able as a plastic surgeon to better

00:23achieve aesthetic goals for my patients.

00:26So breast augmentation and breast reconstruction are different procedures.

00:31Augmentation is where we enhance the breast size and shape for cosmetic reasons and a

00:35reconstruction is where we restore the breast after weight loss, cancer surgery or even

00:40trauma.

00:41Now both of these surgeries use implants but we use them in different ways and it's very

00:45important that I have lots of options available so that my patients can get the best possible

00:50results.

00:51Now we're coming on to breast cancer awareness month and it's really important for patients

00:55to get their mammograms.

00:57So if you are 40 years old and a woman, please get your mammogram because mammograms save

01:02lives by finding breast cancers early.

01:04But it's also important this month that if you have breast implants, make sure that you're

01:08doing the proper screening of your implant.

01:11So call your plastic surgeon, find out what their recommendations are and make sure that

01:14you're getting screening MRIs or ultrasounds to make sure that your implant is also healthy

01:20and safe.
