CHICAGO, IL (ContentDesk) July 31, 2005 -- Breast Implant Registry.com, the only internet-based registry of breast implants, applauded news that the FDA had sent an approval letter with conditions to Mentor Corporation for their silicone gel implants.
While the exact terms of the approval letter have not been released, the FDA scientific advisory panel recommended in April that a breast implant registry be established to track the new implants. "We are excited about the reintroduction of silicone gel implants into the market and the prospect of helping women, their doctors and the implant manufacturers track these products as they return to widespread use," said Dr. Robert Frank, a board certified plastic surgeon and President of BreastImplantRegistry.com. "We feel the registry is critical to proving the safety of these implants." Frank started BreastImplantRegistry.com in 2004 in response to the growing number of women needing revisional breast implant surgery who did not have important data from their initial surgery.
Often the lack of this critical information complicated their secondary procedure leading to increased surgical time, recovery time and cost.The registry, http://www.breastimplantregistry.com, allows women to access all breast implant related data from anywhere with internet access. Data regarding surgeon, surgery center and implants is kept on a secure, encrypted server. The cost of enrollment in the registry $25 for 10 years. Patients with implants placed for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes are candidates for enrollment.Contact: Robert Frank, MDBreast Implant Registry.com, 219-924-3377.

Breast Reduction ? Cosmetic Surgery
Breast Reduction ? Cosmetic SurgeryBreast reduction procedures are becoming more and more popular these days.
This surgery is known as mammaplasties.
Large breasts can cause various medical problems due to the excessive weight on the chest in addition to skeletal deformities and sometimes breathing problems.
Disproportionately large breasts can also lead to extreme self-consciousness. Breast reduction is designed for women with these problems.
The procedure removes particular amounts of fat, glandular tissues and skin from each side of the breasts.
This allows the breast to become smaller, lighter and more firm.
The surgery also can reduce the size of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). The goal of the breast reduction surgery is to give the woman smaller, firmer and better shaped breasts that will be more in proportion to her body.Recovering from a breast reduction procedure is very similar to other breast surgery recoveries.

Samson Hair Restoration announces the first of it's kind Zone Restoration Approach and Zone Pricing Plan in the Hair Transplantation Field.
Our revolutionary Zone Restoration Approach allows clients to focus greater density in the areas they most desire, helping them achieve their hair restoration goals much sooner...Our first of it's kind Zone Pricing Program is simple and easy to understand and could save clients thousands of dollars compared to doctors offering old-style "by- the-graft" procedures for hair transplants.Most hair transplant surgeons structure their fees on a "per graft" basis: for example, $10 per graft, $5 per graft, $7 per graft. Typically the exact price per graft depends upon the number of grafts transplanted in a single procedure. A person might have 1000 or 1500 or 2100 grafts, etc. Most clients do not really understand what it means to have 1000 grafts. Is that a lot? What will it look like?In our view, fees should be based upon the desired cosmetic effect of a surgery session rather than simply the number of grafts promised, which by itself has little to do with the cosmetic outcome.
