ALLERGAN breast implants withdrawn from the French market

Doctors GASNIER and DUMAS have never used this type of breast prosthesis.

This new scandal once again highlights the choice of quality and brand of breast implants used by cosmetic surgeons. Within our aesthetic surgery practices, all the breast implants used are subject to strict European regulations and are validated by the French Health Products Safety Agency (AFSSAPS).

Breast augmentation: 10 questions and answers to see more clearly. In our breast augmentation surgeries we use:

Breast implants made of soft Silicone Gel for a more natural look. Cohesive” implants, no diffusion into the breast in case of rupture of the prosthesis the implant shell is perfectly sealed, it can be smooth or micro-textured.

Doctors GASNIER and DUMAS have chosen to work with 4 laboratories which control their production from the beginning to the end.

• to have confidence in the manufacturing process of our partner laboratories.
• to have traceability on the implants we use.

Their costs, although higher, guarantee a quality product.

The laboratories with which we work have all the mandatory quality certifications and the European label, these are the laboratories:

We remind you that you can check the brand, type and origin of your breast prostheses on the card given to you by your surgeon and that you must keep it with you. We remind you that in the case of breast reconstruction as well as breast augmentation, the placement of implants must be performed by a specialized plastic surgeon.

After a breast implantation, a regular medical examination must be carried out: control visit, palpation, radiological examination, breast ultrasound… As a preventive measure, we recommend an annual follow-up.

We are available to all our patients for any questions they may have and we are available to all women with breast implants to reassure them and carry out a medical check-up if necessary.
