The 2-Year Anniversary of Silicone Gel Breast Implant Approval

In the two years since the US Food and Drug Administration approved silicone gel breast implants, hundreds of thousands of women have chosen this implant type for their cosmetic breast surgery. Dr. Wang has seen a major shift in the number of women who are choosing silicone gel implants, and after two years, remains confident in the safety profile and durability of this implant type.

These days, Los Angeles breast augmentation patients have access to more information than ever before about their breast implant choices. While more information and research is always welcome, the sheer volume of studies and data can be hard to sort through. "I make a point of staying up to date on the latest research and findings related to breast implant safety and the experience of women across the country who have chosen silicone gel implants," says Dr. Wang. "This allows me to help educate my patients so that they can make informed choices about which implant type will be most effective in meeting their needs."

Dr. Wang offers a full range of cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery options to:

  • Create a fuller profile through breast augmentation
  • Lift breasts that have begun to sag
  • Even out disproportionately-sized breasts
  • Reconstruct breasts after mastectomy
  • Decrease the size of overly large breasts

After two years, silicone gel breast implants have become extremely popular and have helped hundreds of women at Dr. Wang's practice create a naturally-enhanced look and feel to their breasts. In the coming years, Dr. Wang expects to see even more women choose this breast enhancement option.

Choosing Affordable Cosmetic Surgery Options

Almost everyone is on a tighter budget these days, but that doesn't mean that your appearance has to pay the price. At Wang Plastic Surgery, a number of affordable cosmetic enhancements are available. In addition to his Los Angeles cosmetic surgery procedures for the face, Dr. Wang also provides top non-surgical options that help you look vibrant and refreshed, while still keeping an eye on your budget.

Cost-effective options at the practice include:

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX can effectively smooth out the lines that appear when you smile or frown. This injectable treatment provides exceptional value and pleasing results, which is why its popularity continues to increase.

Dermal Fillers

Not everyone's skin is the same, so we offer a range of options to improve the appearance of wrinkles, restore volume in the lips or cheeks, and fill hollows created by age or sun damage. Choose injectable fillers including collagen injections, Restylane®, Radiesse®, and JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel.

Facelift without Surgery

Contour ThreadLift™ offers benefits similar to a traditional facelift, but at a lower cost and without the discomfort or recovery period associated with surgery. This procedure uses tiny threads under the skin to support and smooth your tissues.

Light-Based Skin Therapy

Laser skin rejuvenation uses light energy to destroy dead skin cells and invigorate your tissues. This process is noninvasive and quick, and improves collagen production to encourage firmer, younger-looking skin naturally.

Hand, Face, and Body Rejuvenation

Thermage® radiofrequency treatments penetrate to the deep layers of the skin and promote production of firming collagen, at the same time as they tighten and smooth skin at the surface.

Physician-Strength Skincare

Healthy skin is essential for a younger look and rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Wang offers a full menu of quality skin care products including Obagi® and NIA24™ skin care systems to nourish skin and prevent or correct facial aging.
