The FDA approved the Allergan/ Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Filled Breast Implant.

This Natrelle 410 implant is the most selected gel implant product in markets where the product is already available, such as Europe and Canada.

The new 410 gel implant was devised to mirror the natural slope of the breast and is filled with a highly cohesive silicone gel, which enables the implant to hold its contour over time while still staying soft to the touch. This new alternative gives women an option to traditional round implants.

This implant can be used for:
  • Breast reconstruction/Revision: Breast reconstruction includes primary reconstruction to replace breast tissue that has been removed due to cancer or trauma or that has failed to develop due to breast abnormality. Breast reconstruction can also include revisionary surgery to correct or improve results from a primary breast reconstruction surgery.
     
  • Breast augmentation for women 22 years old: Breast augmentation to increase the breast size, as well as revisionary surgery to improve the results for a primary breast augmentation surgery.

Allergan requires surgeons to complete a certification program prior to offering this gel implants to their patients.

We offer monthly seminars and luncheons to educate our patients on the newest products and surgical options. Please contact our office or visit our website to know when the Natrelle 410 will be our next seminar topic.
