Is the Keller Funnel a wise choice for a patient who had capsular contractures 3 times with saline implants and removal 3 times who currently desires replacement with cohesive gel implants.

Answer: Pros and cons of Keller Funnel in capsular contractures removal and cohesive gel implants? Thank you for the question. In my practice, I use the funnel for all breast augmentation procedures involving silicone gel breast implants of all sizes. I believe that the use of the funnel allows for the use of a smaller incision and for easier breast implant insertion ( allowing for a “no touch technique” and no contact of the breast implant with the patient's skin). Hopefully, in the longer term, it will be shown to decrease the incidence of encapsulation as well. Best wishes with your upcoming surgery.
