Boca Raton Based Plastic Surgeon Introduces Revolutionary New Adjustable Breast Implant to Europe and Asia
Date:6/25/2008

BOCA RATON, Fla., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Hilton Becker M.D., F.A.C.S., F.R.C.S. of Boca Raton, Florida, who has been working on creating breast implants for the last 20 years, has created his most effective implant yet -- the Spectra Adjustable Gel Implant which is 90 percent silicone and can adjust in both shape and size after it has been implanted.

Then they go to Aarhus, Denmark to the Scandinavian Association of Plastic Surgeons lecture, where Dr. Becker will do a seminar on breast reconstruction and correction of congenital anomalies of the breast. Janet Cohen will do a post-op care seminar for nurses.

Finally, they stop in Bangkok, where Dr. Becker will lecture at the Bangkok Paragon. "Asia is perfect for this procedure," said Dr. Becker, "Asian women often have smaller breasts. This procedure allows us to stretch the skin," a process that, in addition to the cosmetic applications, is essential for reconstruction.

After a mastectomy, he explained, the skin is taut and circulation poor, this implant allows surgeons to place the implant in, stretching the skin gradually postoperatively. The implant is also useful in treating sagging breasts where instead of having a two-stage procedure, this new implant al
