With the approval of silicone breast implants for cosmetic procedures, plastic surgery will take yet another step forward towards a more natural beauty. The exciting announcement by the Food and Drug Administration approved silicone breast implants for cosmetic procedures for patients age 22 and older.

Previously, the controversy behind silicone breast augmentation arose from women reporting silicone implants to be linked to connective tissue disorders. Therefore, in 1992, the FDA banned silicone implants to the general public, and later allowed certain patients in adjunctive studies to obtain silicone implants. These studies included women who required implants for reconstructive surgery, breast lift procedures, breast revisions, or chest wall deformities.

In the Inland Empire, Robert H. Sorosky, M.D. is a cosmetic surgeon who has been one of the participants in the silicone study which has allowed his practice to offer silicone implants to those patients satisfying the appropriate prerequisites. “I have been part of the silicone gel breast implant study since1994, and it has afforded our practice the opportunity to really look at silicone implants and any underlying effects it has had on women. So far in comparison to saline implants, we have not seen it linked to any illnesses.”

Since 1992, several national studies were performed and proved that there has been no link between silicone implants and any illnesses such as connective tissue disorders, breast cancer, or autoimmune diseases. Based on review of these scientific studies, last week the FDA approved silicone implants for all women age 22 and older.

“Although we have been providing silicone implants to the appropriate patients, this approval will offer all patients the option of obtaining silicone implants. We feel that silicone does have some advantages in terms of natural feel, however, saline implants will continue to play a role in cosmetic augmentation as well.” Dr. Sorosky reports.

The one thing to consider is the fact that silicone implants are pre-filled, and therefore, the incision for the implants must be made longer. The incision must be made under the breast in the inframammary fold or through the areola, so this would preclude the other approaches such as through the belly button or armpit. Also there is an additional cost factor for the silicone implants as well as future costs for FDA recommended followup studies such as periodic MRI’s to detect any rupture of implants with leakage of silicone.

Edward H. Park, M.D. is Dr. Sorosky’s partner who is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and has significant experience with silicone gel implants in his breast reconstructive surgery practice. “Silicone implants have afforded certain advantages in breast cancer patients who will often have thin tissue coverage after a mastectomy. There is less rippling in silicone vs. saline implants, and some of these advantages may now be passed on to the appropriate cosmetic patients.”

The Power Of Two

Robert H. Sorosky, M.D., F.A.C.S.; Edward H. Park, M.D.

Last year after a nationwide search, Dr. Robert H. Sorosky invited Dr. Edward H. Park to join The Cosmetic Surgery Center in Upland, CA. Dr. Park graduated from John Hopkins University and Pennsylvania State University Medical School. He then completed a six year residency program in general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery at the prestigious Stanford University. He is adept at the latest endoscopic or minimally invasive techniques as well as new approaches to breast and body contouring.

Dr. Sorosky has been practicing in the Inland Empire for more than 25 years and has performed over 30,000 procedures. He is fully trained and board certified in The American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

The merging of these two physician’s talents has led to a dynamic and unique partnership. “We build upon each other’s strengths. This is an exciting opportunity to merge complementary philosophies,” said Dr. Sorosky. “Because of the commonality between facial plastic surgery and general plastic surgery, with emphasis on the aesthetics, this collaboration will lead to superior results,” he added. Such an association of these specialties is extremely unusual, with only a few known similar partnerships in the United Sates. “Dr. Park is an exciting addition to our team, and we have introduced new techniques into our practice,” Dr. Sorosky added. As a trained general plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Park believes his background will also the scope of the practice to include post-weight reduction surgery. “Weight loss has become a huge trend in recent years, and these patients are to be commended for their efforts in losing weight. They are healthier in terms of their medical condition as well as their self-esteem,” Dr. Park said. However he said these patients often need surgery to remove excess skin and tissue from areas of their bodies such as the arms, legs, torso, abdomen and/or breasts. “Whenever possible, natural weight loss through diet and exercise are preferable to weight reduction surgery,” Dr. Sorosky noted.

Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park’s philosophy is that patients should be in their best possible health and fitness prior to surgery. One such patient is Michelle who manages the Spa for Women in Upland. When she started to work at the spa several years ago, she 245 pounds and was an unhealthy size 20. Utilizing the Spa’s facility and with the help of a trainer, Michelle lost 125 pounds, was a healthy size 5 and in the best shape of her life. That was when she asked for some help in removing and tightening the loose skin of her breasts and abdomen by undergoing a breast lift and tummy tuck with Dr. Park and Dr. Sorosky at their surgery center. “I never dreamed I could look this good,” she said. “I know I will always have to continue my exercises and healthy diet to maintain my results,” she added.

Since the conception and initial implementation of this partnership, the practice of Dr. Sorosky and Dr. has strategically focused on patients with a combined dual approach using ideas from both fields. The sharing of such ideas has enhanced the assessment and evaluation of patients resulting in superior cosmetic results. “We have the best of both worlds,” says Dr. Park. “There have always been differences between cosmetic and general plastic surgeons, however, we have found that combining our expertise and knowledge in these areas has led to innovative ideas and extraordinary results,” he added. Working together has also added to the safety of patients undergoing multiple procedures such as in an “extreme makeover” project. And with two surgeons working together on combined procedures, there is shorter operating room time, less anesthesia and therefore a shorter recovery. One such patient is Patricia who states, “After undergoing gastric bypass surgery and losing over 100 ponds, my body no longer had the elasticity it once did. “I was referred to Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park by friends as being the best cosmetic surgeons in the area. I am ecstatic with the results of my procedures, including a forehead lift, upper and lower eyelid lifts and rhinoplasty. But I am especially thrilled with my breast reduction and lift. “My breasts look fabulous, and I can’t express how much I appreciate the wonderful job both Dr. Sorosky and Dr. Park did for me.” Pam still plans to return for a tummy tuck and possible further body contouring. This unique dual approach has allowed cosmetic surgery to evolve to a new level bringing the best of worlds to the patient.
