MY POSITION STATEMENT ON ARTEFILL

January 15, 2008 by dr. lam

I have just produced a short vlog on why I do not use Artefill.  To summarize it, in my opinion Artefill, which is a permanent filler, has been too short a time on the market for me to feel comfortable with it.  In addition, the previous incarnations of it, Arteplast then Artecoll, have had numerous problems elsewhere in Europe and Canada sometimes years after the fact.  You have to wonder if a product touted to be permanent has undergone 3 major structural changes since its inception what is the safety of using it.  I prefer silicone microdroplets which have been around since the 1960s.  To me, that is much safer.  Of course, silicone can be badly done too, and I have personally corrected a lot of bad silicone work coming through my doors but fortunately not my own work.  Anyway, please watch the Vlog that I have put together on this subject for better clarification.  In the vlog, I also go through when I do and do not do solid implants.
