If you’re considering breast implants, you may wonder how to choose between saline and silicone implants. With many rumors going around about saline implants always rupturing and leaking or silicone being dangerous, the real question is the difference between each implant. It is a rumor and there is no scientific basis for the rumor that saline implants are safer than silicone implants. It is a rumor and there is no scientific basis for the rumor that if silicone implants rupture, they can cause more harm than saline implants. In this country, we spent over a 1 billion dollars, with the senseless class action lawsuit that was started against the company which made Silicone implants in early 1990 and multiple other investigational studies that was embarked by the FDA following the hype. After a 1 billion dollars in spending, no one could scientifically conclude that silicone implants were any more dangerous or safer than saline implants. During the ten-year ban that was instituted in this country for silicone implants, many American women traveled abroad in the 90s to undergo silicone breast augmentation.

Breast Augmentation can be done by implants or by fat injection, depending upon what the patient's needs and wants. The fat transfer technique where Dr. Ramirez takes fat from unwanted parts of the body, process the fat and then injects the fat into the breast to increase the size and sculpture the shape is becoming more popular, since there is no artificial product that is introduced into the body.

Rhinoplasties are among the most frequently requested procedures performed by Dr. Ramirez. There are two kinds of Rhinoplasty. Primary Rhinoplasty, as the name suggests, is a correction to the nose for the first time. Secondary Rhinoplasty, discussed below, is when a patient needs a second (third or fourth) operation to correct the shortcomings of a previous rhinoplasty.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts. Indications for cosmetic surgery are small or asymmetrical breasts. The procedure is accomplished by the insertion of saline-filled implants behind the breasts. Placement may be either directly under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. Some surgeons believe that placement beneath the chest wall reduces the risk of capsular contracture.Surgery is usually performed in an outpatient setting with the patient under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically lasts from one to two hours. Breast augmentation may be combined with breast lift, (see below) and, if so, the total surgery will take longer.
