Breast augmentation surgery has a huge market. Millions of women worldwide are getting their breasts enhanced in one way or the other to look more beautiful and achieve the self-image they always wanted. Surgeons and researchers have always been on a hunt for newer techniques and technologies that improve their clients’ plastic surgery experiences.

What is Keller Funnel?

One such instrument that has monumentally helped improve breast surgeries is called Keller Funnel. It is an FDA-approved device that helps the surgeon place silicone gel implants effectively. It was invented by Dr. Jason Pozner and has been available in the market for use since 2009 when the FDA approved it.

The surgeon uses the tip of the soft, conical-shaped nylon device incision to place the pre-filled implant through an incision to use the device. Afterward, a gentle squeezing motion is used to coax the implant via a funnel into the breast pocket. It is typically used for silicone gel breast implants.

Here are the five ways how using the Keller Funnel has improved the delivery of silicone breast implants.

Shorter Incisions

By using the funnel, the doctor can make smaller incisions. These result in a faster recovery phase and smaller post-surgical scars. It is definitely a win-win situation as the downtime after the surgery is lessened, and the scar is also nearly missing. Chances of other incisions related complications are also reduced.

Reduced Risk of Infection

By using the Keller Funnel, a no-touch sterile approach is used during the procedure. It minimizes the risk of contamination of the implant shell and results in a lesser chance of the patient catching an infection. It reduces the risk of capsular contracture as well.

Faster Healing

The trauma caused to the breast tissue without using Keller Funnel is much greater than if used. Any surgery causes trauma to the body, which reacts to it. Reducing the trauma significantly lowers the patients’ postoperative pain and prompts faster healing than normal breast augmentation.

Less Stress on the Implant Shell

The funnel’s slippery coating allows a minimal amount of pressure to be used while positioning and placing the breast implant. It greatly reduces the risk of implant rupture in the future and prolongs the life of the implant. Mishandling of the transplant can reduce its effective life by years.

Quicker Procedure

The Keller Funnel generally makes the entire surgical procedure quick, which is most definitely a great thing. Going by the more traditional route, it would take longer to perform the same breast augmentation.

So if you are considering getting a breast augmentation, discuss the possibility of using the Keller Funnel with your doctor. It may end up reducing the recovery period and adding longer life to your transplants.

Free Consultation

Using Keller Funnel for breast implants has many benefits. It can help achieve the desired results without the pain and discomfort. Moreover, there is nearly no downtime after the surgery, and the scar from the incision is relatively invisible. So, due to these advantages, Keller Funnel has proved beneficial for breast implantation surgery.
