I'm your host, Dr. Elizabeth Kerner. I hope you'll think of me as your sister, the plastic surgeon, who will tell you like it really is. I have been in practice in Plano & Dallas, TX for over 30 years, and I am American Board of Plastic Surgery certified. During my career I have had the honor to serve over 13,000 patients. Each episode will focus on one area of plastic surgery in depth, discussing the anatomy, the operative technique, risks, potential complications, and most importantly, who would be a good candidate and who would not be a good candidate.

What to Know About Breast Implants

Thank you for joining me! Today we're going to talk about breast implants; how they came to be, and what they are like now.

In this episode I'll explain the different types of breast implants, from their simple (and often problematic) beginnings, to the state of the art implants currently available today that I use in my own practice.

We cover a lot of interesting ground in this episode, and answer many of the questions people have about breast implants:

What are the differences between silicone and saline breast implants?

What materials are breast implants made from, and is one type of breast implant widely considered to be safer than the others?

Are smooth or textured breast implants considered better?

Do all breast implants fail over time, and what are the risks and complications when a breast implant of each type fails?

What type and material of breast implant looks best on each woman's body type?

What is my favorite type of breast implant to use in my practice? (Spoiler alert: I love the Ideal Implant, and I'll explain why I think you'll love it too!)

Is wrinkling always an issue with saline implants… and does it have to be?

Health studies and data of past, older style breast implants from the '70s, '80s and '90s no longer really apply to today's 5th-generation style of implants. Why is that, and what changed?

As a plastic surgeon with over 32 years of experience, I've addressed the questions and concerns of thousands of patients, and I can tell you that everyone has questions when it comes to plastic surgery, and breast implants are no exception. That's why I made this episode!
