The Keller Funnel™ is a cone-shaped, nylon device that allows for your surgeon to use a no-touch delivery technique during breast augmentation, which is believed to reduce infection complications.*
Silicone Gel Breast Augmentation Delivery using the Keller™ Funnel
Now your Austin-Weston Center surgeon can give you the aesthetic advantages of silicone gel implants, combined with a gentler surgical approach.
Designed by plastic surgeon Kevin Keller, M.D., the Funnel addressed surgeons’ longing to find a better way to combine the incision site and size benefits that had been perfected for saline implants with the plumper, more-natural gel materials of silicone.
Why, you may be asking yourself, is this beneficial to me?
Ask your Austin-Weston Center surgeon about the benefits of using the Keller Funnel™, where you can cover these discussion points:
- Incision lengths
- Bruising and post-operative discomfort
- Force used to place the implant & rupture potential
- Surgery time
- Infection-based complications
