During my portion of the consultation with patients, I often times get statements from patients that are untrue that they have heard from friends or have seen on the internet. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to “debunk some myths”. Let’s get right to it: Myth: “I’m too old to get Breast Augmentation” Fact: During your consultation, your health and medical history will be reviewed in great length. So ladies, if you are healthy and in good medical condition there is no reason why you cannot have Breast Augmentation. Women finally make time and invest money on them when they are ready…and that can be in their 40s, 50s or even 60s! So, it’s never too late! Myth: “Implants will lift my breasts” Fact:...

Jon Paul Trevisani, M.D., F.A.C.S., or better known to his patients as “Dr. Jon,” is board-certified in plastic surgery and is the founder and Medical Director of the Aesthetic Surgery Centre in Maitland, Florida. The Aesthetic Surgery Centre is one of the leading breast augmentation and plastic surgery centers in the state. To answer last Friday’s Facebook post, Dr. Jon gave up his love for peanut butter for Lent. It has not been easy for him, especially when he finds me having peanut butter breath all day long or even finding an over-sized open jar of peanut butter on the kitchen counter! His love for peanut butter spreads for many many years. I’ve seen him spread his Peanut Butter on a piece of graham cracker,... Continue Reading
Did you know that an asthma medication can help with Capsular Contracture? Read more and find out… WHAT IS IT? Capsular contracture is a rare occurrence that can sometimes affect women who have breast implants. The condition is characterized by thick tight scar tissue forming around the breast implant and causing a feeling of hardness to the breast. Capsular contracture can also have an effect on breast shape and discomfort may also be evident. The surgical removal of this scar tissue is called Capsulectomy. HOW CAN I HELP AVOID THIS? Manual massaging helps minimize the occurrence of Capsular Contracture. Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani feels that sometimes massaging breasts too soon after surgery can cause unwanted bleeding around the implant and therefore causing potential problems. Dr.... Continue Reading
The Food and Drug Administration approved a new silicone breast implant from Sientra for use in the United States. This will be the third company in the U.S marketing silicone breast implants. The product is also offered by Allergan Inc. and Johnson and Johnson (unit of Mentor Worldwide, LLC).

Surgery is a stressful event that creates demands on the body and one of the most common and temporary side effect from surgery is swelling. I’ve gathered up a few tips here to help combat swelling after surgery. So let’s start with the basics shall we? First and foremost, drink plenty of water! Water serves a lot of functions in the body and will be particularly good to reduce swelling after surgery. Many patients wonder if adding more water to the body can only make swelling worse, but the truth is that it really helps with swelling. Remember that the human body is made up of 71% water. Drinking plenty of water will help flush out your system and assist with bowel movements. Some of... Continue Reading
Recent news reports have given light to the manufacturing standards of breast implants. Breast implants made by French company Poly Implant Prothése (PIP) have been found to contain industrial-grade silicone instead of medical-grade silicone. Approximately 300,000 women in 65 countries received implants made by the company. The PIP implants have been suspended from marketing, distribution and exportation. The health risks of industrial-grade silicone remain unclear but there are speculations of increased incidence of inflammation and concerns about cancer and other toxic exposures. PIP silicone implants were never approved and/or licensed for the use in the United States. It is important to reiterate and stress that implants in the United States have a long, proven history of high quality with rigorous testing during the manufacturing process.... Continue Reading
