About This SiteCohesiveimplants.com was conceived and written by plastic surgeons William P. Adams Jr. MD and Steven Teitelbaum MD. They met while teaching other plastic surgeons about breast augmentation, often focusing on cohesive implants, patient education, preoperative planning, patient analysis, surgical technique, reducing reoperations, and giving patients a faster and less painful recovery. Recently they taught a course entitled "Optimizing Outcomes In Breast Augmentation” at the annual meeting of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the largest and most influential aesthetic surgery meeting in the world." In their clinical practices, both have had a strong interest in the use of cohesive breast implants. Dr. Adams is the medical director for the official Mentor CPG cohesive gel study, and Investigator for the Allergan style 410 implant clinical trial. Dr. Teitelbaum is also an investigator in the clinical trials of Mentor CPG and Allergan Style 410 cohesive implant, as well as in the trial of implants made by Silimed. Dr. Adams is an international leader in breast augmentation and has presented multiple times to surgeons across the world, and published numerous original articles in the field of breast surgery, including recent landmark manuscripts on reducing capsular contracture and clinical planning in breast augmentation. He is the editor of an upcoming special supplement to the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery on breast augmentation. Dr. Teitelbaum has lectured on cohesive implants in the last year alone to audiences in Israel, Sweden, Brazil, and Morocco, as well as numerous times in the United States, including plastic surgery training programs and plastic surgery societies. They are both passionate about learning and teaching. They have been in the audience or on the podium at many meetings discussing cohesive breast implants also known as the Gummy Bear Breast Implant. Both doctors are certain that critical decisions are made by surgeons and patients when a patient has a breast augmentation. The patient will benefit from those choices – or pay the price for them– for the rest of her life. This website is designed to help enable you to make the right choices for yourself, they welcome your comments. Purpose of This Site"Cohesive implants" have captured the excitement and imagination of women from around the world. After consulting with many women interested in these implants, Dr.s Adams and Teitelbaum have witnessed firsthand the enthusiasm that surrounds these devices. But they have also been disappointed to frequently witness substantial degrees of confusion and misinformation on these implants. They felt there was a need to create a non-commercial site to present women accurate and complete information about cohesive breast implants. Advisory Board
