At his Orlando plastic surgery practice, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says Acellular Dermal Matrix can strengthen tissue in the breast during cosmetic augmentation and revision breast surgery. He utilizes Strattice® grafting to offer patients with crippled breasts, due to implant complications or naturally thin tissue, the chance to have confidence and pride in their figure. Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani discusses the benefits of Strattice® tissue and its ability to support and reinforce the breast. He also describes the recent success of one of his patients who underwent the procedure during revision breast augmentation in Orlando.
Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani, a plastic surgeon in Orlando, is using Strattice® grafting from porcine skin to aid patients with thin breast tissue and crippled shape in restoring their natural feminine shape. Strattice® grafting, also is a type of Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM), has primarily been used in reconstructive procedures; however, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani has begun utilizing the advanced technique to enhance cosmetic results and strengthen tissue following breast augmentation revision or complications. Through reinforcement of the breast tissue and careful attention to shape and proper placement, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says women can regain confidence in their figure.
Strattice® grafting, derived from pig skin, is a sheet of sterile tissue that is implanted to strengthen soft tissues, support the development of new blood vessel networks, and stimulate cell regeneration. Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says that while there are other types of ADM that come from human donors, his preference is Strattice® because it offers firmer, more natural-looking results and can secure implant location to reduce migration of the breast implant. He adds that patients whom have suffered from capsular contracture or rippling, or whom have little to no breast tissue as a result of thin, skin or multiple breast surgeries may be excellent candidates for Strattice® grafting. “Women who have undergone multiple breast surgeries can often become distraught with surgical intervention for corrective breast augmentation. This material has given new hope for my patients who fall into the category of crippled breast syndrome.”
One of Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani’s recent patients for breast implants in Orlando received Strattice® grafting to give her skin more thickness and coverage after an accident during her childhood and several breast surgery complications. Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says that when she first came to his practice, this patient had suffered from scarred and asymmetric breasts as a result of a horse falling on her at the age of 15. She had also had much of her breast tissue removed during a breast augmentation that developed capsular contracture and Staphyloccus infection. Following explantation of the implants and another procedure, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says the patient had been left with thin skin and rippling and necessitated a Strattice® graft to both breasts. He adds that because of the advancements in production available with Strattice® and other ADMs, he was able to restore her tissue and help her experience the happiness and confidence of normal, healthy-looking breasts.
Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says that because of experiences like his recent patient, he is thankful to be a part of the developing world of plastic surgery as more and more innovations continue to arise all the time to help patients lead a positive, joyful life. He adds that he is also excited about the future of plastic surgery techniques that will result from research and dedication to patient care and quality results. “In the field of plastic surgery, advancements like this will benefit our patients for years to come as we continue to help them look and feel better about themselves. Introducing this revolutionary product at my office not only helps my patients achieve their aesthetic goals, but also provides a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem.”

Plastic Surgeon in Orlando Discusses Silicone Gel Implants for Breast Augmentation
According to the latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more than 62% of the 318,123 breast augmentation procedures performed in 2010 used silicone breast implants. At his Orlando plastic surgery practice, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says his patients chose silicone over saline implants at roughly the same percentage, and often attribute their choice to the more natural appearance and soft touch of the new silicone gel implants.
The most recent data from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) shows more than 9.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2010, with breast augmentation highlighted at the most popular form of surgical aesthetic enhancement. Of the 318,123 procedures performed, 62% of patients chose silicone breast implants, a statistic Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Orlando, FL, says is reflected at his practice.
Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani attributes this propensity for silicone breast implants to a more natural look and feel of the new generation of implants, which now use a cohesive silicone gel. “There are two main differences between the new generation of silicone implants and the silicone implants of the past. The first is that the outer shell or covering of the implant is thicker than the shell previously used, thus the rupture rate is lessened. The other difference is that the composition of the newer implant is not as “liquid” as before, and therefore more cohesive. Should a rupture occur or the integrity of the shell be compromised, the gel will remain intact.”
While his patients prefer silicone implants, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani stresses the importance of patient education during the consultation process. “Educating patients is a key component during my consultation. I want my patients to understand that silicone does not correlate to any disease processes. Knowing this information alone eases anxieties for many patients.”
Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says patients often enter his practice with certain expectations concerning the breast augmentation procedure, armed with some basic facts about silicone breast implants. While they are most concerned with the safety of silicone implants, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani says he is quick to reassure his patients that the silicone implants of today are very different from those used in the past. “Patients are often times concerned whether certain autoimmune diseases are associated with the use of silicone implants. Again with effective communication and thorough understanding, the issue of safety has been resolved. Cost is also another factor of concern for patients. Silicone implants do cost more than saline implants. The choice of using saline or silicone implants is a patient’s personal decision. My goal is to educate patients and help them understand so they are able to make an informed decision.”

Smaller Breast Augmentation Scars at Orlando Plastic Surgery Practice
As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Orlando, FL, Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani is able to achieve smaller scars when performing breast augmentation procedures with the innovative Keller Funnel™. According to Dr. Jon Trevisani, the funnel allows him to use smaller incisions for silicone breast implants similar to those associated with saline implants, which also results in less bruising and post-operative discomfort for his breast augmentation patients.
Jon Paul Trevisani, MD, FACS is able to perform breast augmentation procedures with smaller scars at his Orlando plastic surgery practice. The Keller Funnel™ is a technologically advanced breast implant delivery device, which allows Dr. Jon Trevisani to use smaller incisions when placing the breast implant because of a special interior coating[1]. Due to the vast number of breast augmentation procedures Dr. Jon Trevisani performs with the Keller Funnel™, he has been certified by Keller Medical, Inc.
As is true of any cosmetic enhancement procedure, scarring can have a significant impact on patient satisfaction with a breast augmentation procedure. Dr. Jon Trevisani says the Keller Funnel™ is extremely effective at limiting the amount of scarring because of the cone-shape and hydrophilic interior coating that allows him to propel an implant into place with minimal pressure. He adds that patients are often concerned with additional costs associated with an innovative device such as this. “The Keller Funnel™ is a unique device with added patient benefits. However, there is no added expense for my patients. This is a standard practice at my office, and I find comfort in knowing that I am providing my patients with an increasingly safe and effective procedure.”
Additionally, Dr. Jon Trevisani says the funnel’s design results in less bruising and discomfort for patients after the procedure, and employs a no-touch technique to eliminate the likelihood of contamination. Ultimately, Dr. Jon Trevisani says the Keller Funnel™ provides him with a better way to surpass patient expectations while preserving the greatest respect for patient safety.
