Breast Implant Safety Educational Event

March 19, 2019


In response to the recently published reports highlighting concerns with certain breast implants, Dr. Larry Nicther and Dr. Jed Horowitz, board-certified plastic surgeons at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, are hosting an educational event on Thursday, April 18, 2019, to inform women with breast implants and those considering breast implants about potential risks and medical issues.

Drs. Horowitz and Nichter, along with other plastic surgeons, over the years, have seen an increasing number of patients with ill-defined problems often involving connective tissue and autoimmune conditions that patients and occasionally other medical doctors felt might be related to their silicone breast implants Recently, there is a growing body of evidence in the scientific literature linking silicone gel but notsaline breast implants to autoimmune disease, and a growing number of Breast Implant-Related Illnesses and symptoms. Now, not only are there the more common issues for women to be aware of such as capsular contracture, rupture, deflation, etc., but also the more serious medical issues that stand to be a risk.

Wow! Not only am I thrilled with my results, I also must say that this experience was so much easier than I thought it would be! From the virtual consultation, to the virtual appointments that I had after my surgery… they made it so easy to check in with my doctor. I don’t live in Newport, but it didn’t matter. I was still able to get the surgery that I wanted there! 10/10 would recommend!!
