Breast reduction, then implants: Stacy’s story
Stacy, a woman in her forties, was unhappy with her breast size and shape.

Smaller incisions make happier breast implant patients
Have you been seriously considering breast implants? Did you know that you not only have a choice of the type of implant you prefer (silicone or saline), but your plastic surgeon also has a choice between the traditional implant delivery method of using their fingers for insertion or a NEWER technique using the Keller Funnel 2, a device that gently slips a silicone implant into place?
