Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants
Charles D. Ebert III, MD, FACS now offers silicone gel-filled breast implants. Dr. Ebert is among the first surgeons to be certified for Natrelle Silicone-Filled Breast Implants.

The approval of Allergan's Natrelle Breast Implants by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has opened doors to more options than ever before for patients seeking breast implant surgery. Now, after completing the Allergan Physician Certification Program, Dr. Ebert is able to access the Natrelle Matrix of breast implant options to provide the One Right Result to each individual patient.

By completing the certification program, Dr. Ebert has gained access to an unprecedented array of options designed to enable the surgeon to precisely match the appropriate implant to each individual patient's body type and goals. Any woman desiring silicone gel-filled beast implants can now be more confident that she can get the One Right Result she deserves.

In 2005, nearly 340,000 women in the U.S. had breast implant surgery. Of those, approximately 14% were reconstruction patients. While research shows that surgeons and patients prefer silicone gel-filled breast implants to saline-filled implants, saline has been the only option for women seeking augmentation surgery until now.

Today's silicone gel-filled breast implants are different from the products that were available in the 1970's. Arguably, no other medical device has been more studied for safety than silicone gel-filled breast implants and decades of research have evaluated their safety and effectiveness. The research shows that silicone gel-filled breast implants are safe. Natrelle Silicone-Filled Breast Implants have been used with success for more than three decades in over 60 different countries. They have an outer shell that is more than 50% thicker than earlier implant devices and can withstand more than 25 times the force of a normal mammogram without failure.

Dr. Ebert has been in practice for 30 years and conducted approximately 2000 procedures for breast augmentation and reconstruction. He is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has served in many leadership positions, including President of both the Nevada State Medical Association and the Clark County Medical Society, with numerous hospital affiliations. Dr. Ebert is also listed in Who's Who In Medicine in 1991.
