The early votes are in . . .

Well, it has been about one month since silicone breast implants were approved, and the early patient response has been mixed. Approximately 40% of new patients have elected to use silicone, while the majority are happy to stick with saline implants. It will be interesting to see how this ratio progresses over the next year, as well as the next several years. Around the world, where silicone implants were not taken off the market, approximately 90% of augmentations are performed with silicone. Will that be the trend here? We shall see.
