I have been doing some research and have seen that some surgeons use the Keller Funnel method w/ the implant placement. Does this usually mean a faster and less painful recovery for the patient? It seems to be a less invasive way to place the implant.

Answer: Keller funnel less potential contamination of implant It is a tool to place the implant. No change in pain. It will probably decrease the risk of capsular contraction. It is also less traumatic to the implant. A good device. Good luck!

Answer: Shorter recovery and less pain w/ Keller Funnel method? Some surgeons use the Keller funnel and many do not. There is no proven correlation at all to level of discomfort or time of recovery.I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
