The Body Beautiful Surgeon

Massachusetts cosmetic surgery expert, Richard A. Moss M.D., makes patient safety a primary concern at all times. “Patient safety is an issue that patients may not specifically ask about, but many of their questions involve this issue.

A few weeks ago, Dr. Moss and I presented to readers information on the two types of breast implants: saline filled breast implants and the newly FDA approved silicone gel filled breast implants.

It should be noted that one of the reasons for the popularity of breast augmentation is that the incisions for breast augmentation are relatively small and for the most part well hidden, especially when compared to the visibility of the incisions required in either a breast lift or breast reduction.
