Hey everybody, Dr. John Connors here. We're coming to you from outside my office here in Atlanta, Georgia, I'm really excited. I had this crazy thought as I was watching television with my kids the other day. The television show MythBusters came out and we were watching it and they were blowing up a bunch of stuff on television and I thought geez I have patients ask me all the time about the safety and the ability of implants to take an impact, breast implants. Breast implants that I use every day to make patients look fantastic.
I thought one thing that would be a really cool experiment would be to take those breast implants that I use every day and run over them with my car. My car weighs about 4000 pounds, the amount of impact from, let's say, an airbag or the amount of pressure when a patient would go diving or even in an airplane when it's pressurized. We're going to see what that pressure would do to an implant intact on the driveway as I roll over it with my car. I'm really excited, I'm glad to have you here and we'll see what happens.
I have an Allergan, silicon filled cohesive gel implant, all right. This one is 390 cc's, we're going to put this on the concrete first and we're going to roll over it with my 4000 pound car. Here we go. This is the Allergan implant, 4000 pounds, it did pretty well. I see a little shearing of the gel but otherwise it's intact. Nicely done.
I've got a Mentor 375 cc, high profile, gel filled implant we're going to roll over with my car, 4000 pounds of pressure, let's see how Mentor stacks up. Here we go. Mentor implant, 4000 pound car, it's intact too. Maintains its shape pretty well. Little bit of shear of the gel but it's otherwise intact. We have Silimed, which is actually Sientra, Sientra implant which is brand new to the American market, just FDA approved, which is the first shaped silicon adhesive filled cohesive implant available here in the United States. We're going to see how our 4000 pound car does with rolling over this implant. Let's see how the shell does as far as its ability to withstand some pressure here, 4000 pounds. Here we go, you ready? Silimed, with a tire mark across it, you don't see that every day. It withstood 4000 pounds of pressure and looks great.
We did some myth busting today. The myth is that breast implants, silicone breast implants, the shell will rupture if you dive too deep in the ocean or if you're in an airplane that does not have a pressurized cabin or if you're in an accident and have an airbag deploy. The myth is that these implants will rupture. I'm here to show you that after running them over with my 4000 pound car they don't rupture. Myth busted.

Hi, my name is Dr. John Connors and I'm a plastic surgeon practicing here in Atlanta, Georgia. I've been practicing surgery since 1995 and I do it with great passion. I love what I do; I love plastic surgery. My patients really come to me for great results. Many of our patients are interested in facial surgery, body contouring, nose surgery. The general aspect of plastic surgery really thrills me. I trained in plastic surgery at Harvard to deliver great results to patients. We do that every day here in our office.
One aspect of our practice which is unique is that we are a boutique plastic surgery practice. This is not a cattle call. I'm not trying to run as many patients through this practice as possible. I really like hands-on patient interaction. I love talking to my patients. I love hearing what their goals are. To achieve their results I need to know what their goals are, and because of that I spend a lot of time with each patient.
One of the critical elements of my practice is to make each patient feel like family. I think it's essential that patients feel comfortable, that they're educated, because this is really in a sense a lifetime commitment. We see patients that return to our office monthly, yearly, and really for life. They build a real great, super rapport with my staff and with me.
Dr. Connors has the best bedside manners and the most caring, loving staff. I felt comfortable with Dr. Connors, and when you go through a surgery like this you want the best. He put me at ease, answered all my questions from the beginning.
My experience with the staff has been wonderful. I feel like they're my family. I don't see them very often but when we do run into each other it's just like I'm their best friend. They were so helpful and so encouraging, and made me feel like a million bucks. The customer service is just at its best here.
I'm very glad that I had the procedure. I was always uncomfortable with certain types of clothes that I could wear and now I have the freedom to wear a lot of different things and I feel great.
Our patients are our focus, and because of that I devote and my staff devotes all of our time and energy to taking great care of patients. This is a passion for all of us. We really welcome you to the practice and we're excited to see you.
