We found a great article about Liquid Injectable Silicone on ModernMedicine.com.

“Liquid injectable silicone offers safe, precise and long-lasting correction for a range of facial and extrafacial defects when used with proper injection technique and regard for its permanent nature,” says Jay G. Barnett, M.D.

Dr. Rina Shinn of Adonis Aesthetics was trained in Liquid Silicone Injection by Dr. Jay G. Barnett, M.D.

From the article:

Speaking at the 26th annual scientific meeting of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Barnett told attendees that he has 40 years of personal experience using medical-grade liquid injectable silicone off-label as a filler material. During this time, he has treated many thousands of patients with excellent results, few adverse events and no serious complications, he says.

“Currently, there are more than 100 fillers available on the worldwide market, but I would encourage anyone who performs soft-tissue augmentation procedures to know about liquid injectable silicone,” says Dr. Barnett, a private practitioner in New York City.

TECHNIQUE
After the physician marks the areas to be injected, the injections are performed under topical anesthesia, usually with the patient sitting in a comfortable upright position.

The material must be delivered using a microdroplet serial puncture technique in which small volumes of the liquid silicone.

“For most treatments, the total volume delivered at one treatment session is less than 1 cc, and often just half of that amount.”

CONSERVATISM COUNTS
The permanency of liquid injectable silicone is both an advantage and a drawback if this feature is not respected. Therefore, Dr. Barnett cautions to never try to fix a “10-foot hole in a single session” and to counsel patients about the value of serial treatments and of being conservative in the amount of correction.

“When using silicone, surgeons have to be a little ornery at times in resisting patients who want larger-volume corrections, especially when augmenting the lips or cheeks. Since the effects are permanent, be careful to do only what you think is indicated,” he says.

Treatment is usually done in a series of two to five sessions at least one month apart, depending upon what is being corrected or augmented. This approach helps to avoid overcorrection and has the advantage of helping to minimize the total volume of silicone used.

Liquid Injectable Silicone can treat:
• Acne scarring and other depressed scars
• Grooves going from the nose to the mouth corners
• Fine creases and deeper grooves around
the mouth and chin
• Fine lines and grooves on the neck
• Hollows and grooves around the eyes
• Hollows in the temple areas
• Aging grooves on the hands
• Corns and calluses of the feet

Commonly referred to as T.U.B.A., scarless or belly button breast augmentation, Dr. Shinn increases the breast size by implanting breast implants through the navel or belly button. Besides eliminating scars on or near the breasts, this method allows both breast implants to be placed through a single incision.

The surgery is executed under intravenous sedation, also sometimes referred to as Light Sleep (Twilight) or IV sedation, combined with local anesthesia. Patients only need about 20 to 30 minutes of recover to be awake and ready to go home.

T.U.B.A. uses a sub-pectoral implant placement allowing many women who have little or no breast tissue to have adequate tissue coverage over the edges of the implants. Many women report that this placement gives them a more natural, sloping result — rather than an abrupt roundness of the upper poles of the breast. There is also less breast droopiness in the future.

From the umbilical incision, Dr. Shinn makes a track in the upper abdomen using a jet of numbing solution and creates a pocket either on top of the pectorals muscle or below the muscle depending on the patient’s situation.

Next, a tissue expander is used to slowly separate the breast and connective tissues (or the pectorals muscle as well) from the underlying muscle to create a pocket for the implants.

The implant is rolled up and inserted in the same manner as the tissue expander. After the breast implants have been positioned inside their respective pockets, they are filled with saline.

Advantages of T.U.B.A.

* Faster surgery, more accurate and less invasive procedure.
* Creates a larger breast without visible scars on the breasts or in the armpit.
* Far fewer complications and less physical stress.
* Less downtime and unnecessary post-operative care.
* There is no tension on the incision line which can cause opening of the wounds which may lead to infection and unsightly stretched scars.
* Less surgical materials (less sutures, surgical sponges, surgical tape, and gauze).
* Chances of infections are greatly lessened due to the placement of the incision and the lack of implant-breast tissue exposure.
* Bleeding is extremely uncommon.
* Patients only need about 20 to 30 minutes to be awake and ready to go home.
