What’s actually in the FDA implant checklist? 📝Dr. Bruce Van Natta breaks down the key points - from rare risks like BIA-ALCL (seen only in textured implants, now off the market) to what current research shows about heavy metals, silent ruptures, and long-term maintenance.Informed patients make empowered decisions. 📊

💡 A new way to make fat grafting more predictable?
�Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Van Natta breaks down why a new technology called Viality is getting so much attention. Instead of losing a large percentage of volume after fat transfer (the usual ~50%), this system uses a specialized surfactant to help:�• Remove excess fluid during harvesting�• Repair cell membranes�• Increase fat cell survival

The result? Up to 82% volume retention - especially helpful for patients who are naturally lean or want fewer treatment sessions.

A more efficient process. More consistent outcomes. More long-lasting volume. ✨

🔍 How do you turn a deflated “tube sock” breast into a round, lasting shape?�Dr. Bruce Van Natta explains the technique behind some of his most impressive results.Through precise suture-shaping and a GalaFLEX hammock for support, the breast mound is rebuilt and then reinforced as the body forms collagen around the mesh. The result? Beautiful, maintained shape, lasting a year and beyond.

💡UNDERSTANDING “ANIMATION DEFORMITY” - Should Implants Go Under or Over the Muscle?
�Dr. Bruce Van Natta explains why many patients still benefit from submuscular placement despite the well-known “animation deformity” (the slight breast movement when the pectoral muscle contracts).

For most active patients, this movement is minimal, and the trade-offs often work in your favor:�✔️ Better breast cancer imaging�✔️ Less visible rippling�✔️ Lower chance of needing revision surgery

“There’s no perfect option, just the one that’s safest for you,” Dr. Van Natta says.
Have the conversation, understand the pros and cons, and choose what aligns with your goals.

“One and done” sounds ideal, but only when it’s done safely!
�Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Van Natta breaks down why the technique your surgeon is confident in matters more than trends or quick fixes.

Every surgeon has their own approach, but the goal is the same: long-term results, low complication rates, and the safest path to the best outcome.
�Trust is a big ask, and he takes it seriously.

✨ Who Should You See for Vaginal Rejuvenation? Let’s Talk About It.

Not all specialists approach cosmetic vaginal rejuvenation the same way. In this discussion, experts break down why many OBGYNs don’t offer device-based cosmetic treatments, from comfort level with aesthetic tools to the transition from insurance-based care to self-pay procedures.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Van Natta shares why plastic surgeons often step into this space, and what patients should consider when choosing the right provider.�
