Drs. William Burden and Scott Ennis of Destin Plastic Surgery and Dr. Robert Rey of E!'s “Dr. 90210” fame were among a group of select plastic surgeons who met in Las Vegas to be briefed on the upcoming Becker adjustable gel implant clinical trials. Dr Burden was one of only 30 plastic surgeons nationwide selected to participate in the trials.
Mentor Corporation, a worldwide leader in breast implant manufacturing, held its investigator meeting for its new adjustable silicone gel implant in Las Vegas on January 26th. Dr. Hilton Becker, who designed the new implant, was the featured lecturer. The adjustable gel implant combines the benefits of the silicone gel implant with the adjustability of the saline implant.
This select group of surgeons were chosen based on their experience with silicone implants as well as national and international credentials. Drs. Burden and Ennis are the only plastic surgeons in Northwest Florida, Alabama and Mississippi involved in the study.
“It is an honor to be among the nation’s top plastic surgeons leading our field in the newest and latest technique and product. I have had experience with the Becker 50/50 implant and will be offering the procedure using an underarm/ no scar on the breast approach,” said Dr. William Burden.
“We are pleased that our extensive surgical experience has garnered us this opportunity. We feel it is a great boost to have this region included with larger destinations including Beverly Hills, New York and Las Vegas,” echoed Dr. Scott Ennis.
This implant is currently in use in Europe and Mentor Corporation will be seeking FDA approval in The United States. At this time, it is considered an investigational device and is only available in the clinical study. Drs. Burden and Ennis will be investigators in the clinical studies.
