Ultra Soft Silicone: can you provide insight on this new technique involving a spongy type of silicone?

Question

There is a technique I've heard about involving a spongy type of silicone, Ultra Soft Silicone, that I have heard from Korean surgeons. It is placed under the muscle directly above the bone, so that there is no encapsulation and the muscles keep the implant in place. I would like some comments about possible safety issues with this method, considering how new it is. Thanks for your input.

The only approved implants by the FDA for use in cosmetic breast augmentation are from the three companies Allergan, Mentor and Sientra. I would not recommend any other implants for many reasons including safety and warrenty issues. However, if you want the most natural breasts possible, you may want to consider fat grafting to your breasts - its yours, natural and has the potential to last a lifetime! I hope this helps and have a wonderful day! Dr. Kayser - St. Clair Shores
