Every year Doctors and scientists try to come up with new ways to make breast augmentation procedures easier for both the patient and the physician. The Keller Funnel, introduced in August of 2009 and invented by Kevin Keller M.D., is a newer procedure that lets the surgeon introduce the implant through a small incision. This procedure also allows for faster healing for the patient.

The Keller Funnel allows the surgeon to install the implant without actually having to touch it. It is a cone that is lined with a special kind of lubricant called hydrophilic polymer coating. When it gets moist it gets slippery and that helps the implant to slide through the incision. The implant is placed in the cone, or funnel, and then squeezed into the breast using very little pressure. It is also suggested that getting implants using the Keller Funnel can help to prevent capsular contracture, a condition in which a hard tissue forms around the implant squeezing it and often distorting the shape. Capsular contracture can often be fixed with surgery, however, the Keller Funnel is meant to help avoid contracture from happening.

It is generally difficult for a physician to get a large implant into a small incision, like the very popular already pre-filled silicone implants. The Keller Funnel can get larger implants through the small incisoin quickly, therefore, it helps to avoid damaging or further irritating the tissue surrounding the incision. The implant can still be place above or below the breast muscle using this technique.

The entire idea behind the Keller Funnel is to make sure that the patient heals faster and has less chance of infection, that the surgeons are better able to see what they are doing and that the surgery takes less time which is good for the patient and the surgeon. Patients are able to avoid large scars and because of the no touch system there is less of a chance that foreign objects will be introduced into the body during the procedure.

Since it’s invention doctors all over the United States have began using the Keller Funnel to aid in breast augmentation. Keller Medical Inc. does state that “Because every woman is different and individual results may vary, you should speak to your surgeon about the merits of the Keller Funnel.” As with all surgeries it is best to do research before making a final decision.

A German cosmetic surgeon married an average looking woman with the idea that by using his expertise with the scalpel, he could create the perfect woman.

This modern day Frankenstein performed eight operations on his 33 year old wife. Claiming he saw potential in his flat chested, big thighed sweetheart, Reza Vossough proved that true love is only skin deep when he cut into her body and altered her body so much she is almost unrecognizable from her former self.

Boasting about his work Vossough commented, “When I first met Cany she had physical deficiencies but I could see that there was something there. She had big hips and thighs, so we made corrections, and then did a little bit more… it’s better than nature could do.” Now five years and eight operations later, Cany has new eyes, a bigger chest, smaller hips, smaller thighs, and a tighter face. Instead of being insulted by her husband’s lack of satisfaction with her appearance, Cany is thrilled with the results and quips, “When your husband is a plastic surgeon, then the scalpel is your friend.” The countless botox injections as well as the 1600 grams of silicone needed to create the new Cany have radically changed her appearance in dramatic ways.

Her four breast augmentation procedures have boosted her cup size from an A to an F. When asked if he had trouble operating on his own wife, Vossough, who performs over 1200 procedures a year on patients at his clinic in Berlin said, “On the operating table her face is covered, she’s anonymous like any patient.” The $32,500 price tag for all this surgery doesn’t stress out Vossough, he performed the procedures himself and waived his fee!

Vossough has not ruled out future procedures for Cany, consenting that she may need a facelift sometime in the future. Vossough says that performing theses surgeries is “almost like being God- you have the ability to change nature.” Vossough admits that his view of his wife may be see as somewhat unconventional by some, but he explains that for him, his wife is like a piece of jewelry to be valued and displayed.
