Breast Augmentation: Enhancing Patient Safety with The Keller Funnel Technique

When it comes to breast augmentation, ensuring patient safety and minimizing scarring are top priorities. Dr. Scot A. Martin , board certified plastic surgeon at Martin Plastic Surgery near El Paso, TX., has been utilizing the Keller Funnel technique for years to achieve these goals. In fact, over ten years ago, Dr. Martin was a part of the first study that measured the decline of capsular contractures once the Keller Funnel was implemented!

But what exactly is the Keller Funnel technique?

This innovative approach involves using a cone-shaped device to insert the breast implant into the breast pocket with minimal contact. This reduces the risk of contamination, infection, and trauma to the surrounding tissues. There are four steps to the Keller Funnel Process that you can find here.  

So, why is the Keller Funnel technique important to patients?

By allowing for a no-touch insertion of breast implants, it lowers the risk of capsular contracture, a common complication that can lead to discomfort and the need for additional surgeries. Additionally, the minimized handling of the implant during placement helps in reducing the risk of visible scarring and maintaining the results you desire. 

Patients seeking breast augmentation should consider choosing a surgeon who is an expert in the Keller Funnel technique.
