Are You a Good Candidate for Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants?

As a good breast implant candidate, you should display three specific characteristics:

• A desire to educate yourself regarding the specific shape, size and style of breast implant that is best for you.
• An internal motivation to do this for yourself, as opposed to doing it for a loved one or other outside influences.
• Most importantly, a set of realistic expectations about the outcome of your surgery.

Beyond these considerations, you have additional patient responsibilities if silicone is the filler you and your surgeon select for your breast implants.

To help inform you about INAMED^® Silicone-Filled Breast Implants, Allergan has developed a Patient Planner for both breast augmentation and reconstruction patients. This is an important resource available only through certified surgeons that use INAMED^® Silicone-Filled Breast Implants. In addition to providing valuable information about implants and surgery, this Patient Planner includes helpful tools, checklists and important information all in one place. It also helps you to understand your role in ensuring the best outcome possible and your responsibilities both pre- and post-surgery.
