The Keller Funnel™ now enables surgeons to use silicone implants using smaller incisions, similar to those of saline implants. This advanced sterile device has a special hydrophilic interior coating. The tip of the Funnel is placed through the incision and the implant is placed through the opening of the Funnel. As a result, the incision length is much smaller and other benefits include less bruising and less post-operative discomfort.

Select surgeons are allowed to use the CPG implants. Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani is one of the select surgeons in Florida who has the special privileges of CPG implant use. Surgical expertise and a commitment to careful patient follow-up were the criteria in choosing the select surgeons.
The main advantages of CPG implants include longevity and shape. Rippling is least evident in these type of implants and therefore the development of folds is very minimal to none. It is the folding of the implants that cause implants to ultimately fail. What distinguishes these type of implants is that the silicone gel is much firmer – synonymous to a “soft solid”. If a CPG implant is cut in half, there is no gross movement of gel and the implant maintains its shape. This non-movement is possible because the manufacturer uses more “crosslinker” in the making of the implant. This “crosslinker” makes the gel firmer. Cohesive breast implants implies form stability, or form retention. That means that in any position, the implant maintains its shape. This means that the shell should not fold and that it will maintain a particular shape.
Many people interchangeably use the terminology “regular” silicone gel implants with that of the Cohesive Gel Implants. Technically, all silicone gel is cohesive to some degree. But the term cohesive has always meant form stability. Keep in mind that the natural breast projects more at the bottom than at the top. The Cohesive Gel Implant is designed in such a way that it mimics this shape. The thinner the implant is at the top, the more gradually and naturally it will feather into the upper chest, making itself less conspicuous.
The trial for Contour Profile Gel implants is open and available for patients who are committed and willing to participate for a full ten years of follow-up to be considered for the study. During the course of the study, monetary reimbursements are awarded to the patient for their commitment in the follow-up study.

The latest and most innovative techniques in Breast Surgery were discussed at the Twenty-Sixty Annual Breast Surgery Symposium that Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani attended in Atlanta, Georgia. The program demonstrates through live surgery various techniques in breast surgery. It also provides updated panels discussing various aspects of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. The current trends and techniques in breast augmentation and results using various implant types, shapes and surfaces as well as fat injection advances and controversies were also presented.
One topic that that raised much discussion was the use of the BRAVA® Breast Enhancement and Shaping System. This system allows for fuller breasts without the need of prosthetic implants. The question, “how does this BRAVA® system work?” arises. Quite interestingly, the BRAVA® system consists of two domes that are placed on breasts and is worn for 8-10 hours a day for approximately 3-4 weeks. These specially engineered silicone gel rims have a sophisticated minicomputer built-in that creates and regulates the tension within the domes. This creates an external tissues expansion mechanism. After the allotted time frame, doctors are now introducing autologous fat transfers to these areas where tissue expansion has occurred. The fat from the abdominal or thigh areas are withdrawn and carefully centrifuged. This fat is then placed in the breasts. The results are fuller, shapelier breasts without the use of implants.
Although the art and science of this development is in its infancy and no long-term studies have been drawn, patients who have had this procedure are left satisfied. Of course the questions of evoking mammographic difficulties, pre-cursor to breast cancer, effects of capsular contracture, fat re-absorption rate are still vague.
Whether this is a viable option for patients seeking fuller-shapelier breasts will be continued research. An upcoming meeting in Miami in the next month will also address this new innovation. For now, the good standard for Breast Augmentation is with implantation.
“My name is Lisa and I am 30-something years old. I am the mother of 2 wonderful children. I am very happy with the appearance and shape of my breasts.I have just recently started looking into breast augmentation the last couple of months. I can not stress to you enough about how very IMPORTANT it is to do your research before making any decisions regarding breast implants.
On September 9th, I decided to go on my second consultation with Jon Paul Trevisani in Maitland, FL. I had already had my first consult with him 2 weeks prior, and was still undecided at that point. I had many more questions that I wanted to ask him prior to my decision. The second consultation went very well, and I then decided that he would be the plastic surgeon. The pre-op appointment was very simple. Since size and the procedure had been pretty much thoroughly discussed at my 2 consults, I pretty much knew all of the information and had no questions whatsoever.
I had my surgery on a Friday, and I was back in class on Monday. I guess I was lucky, and had a very fast recovery, with very little pain. Yes, they were tender for a couple of weeks, but it was more of a discomfort, and not really what I would consider to be pain. I am now over 2 months post, and if I had to do this all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat! It is amazing how different I now feel when I look at myself in the mirror.
I would like to give thanks to my wonderful PS [plastic surgeon] Jon Paul
Trevisani. I am so very thrilled with what he has done for me!
I highly recommend him!”

“I’m 31 years old and have 2 children. I’ve always had very small breasts, and I knew from the time I was about 18 that I would eventually have a breast augmentation. After my second child, my small breast situation seemed to worsen and there was almost nothing left of them. My body image was plummeting and I knew it was time to do something. I did tons of research on the internet and although I was afraid of the pain, I decided this is what I wanted to do. (more…)
“After several years of research and saving the money to do so and several consultations, I decided to visit Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani in Maitland, Florida for my breast augmentation. It is a couple-hour drive from where I live but was WELL-worth the ride! (more…)
“Dr. Jon listened well and was very non-intimidating. He was just as pleasant when I came back with a possible problem after my surgery. When asked his recommendation, he recommended a larger implant (400cc) when other doctors had recommended 300 or 330cc for me. He had all the right credentials and I also perceived him as competent to do the job. Although I was only offered a crease incision, I agreed because Dr. Trevisani was in a silicone study for primary BA [breast augmentation] patients. In the end, he did a fine job and I am very happy with the results at almost 5 months…
Oops, I did forget to mention where I found Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani (another Dr. Trevisani exists in the area, not to be confused with Jon Paul Trevisani, the ps [plastic surgeon]). “Steph” from Georgia, on your site, used him and knew he could do silicone for primary BA [breast augmentation] patients. She passed that on to me and I set up a consult after seeing his page on your site. Take care and thank you for your site. It has meant a lot to me. “

“Dr. Trevisani recently performed my breast augmentation and I could not be more pleased. I found him through your site. Not only did Dr. Trevisani achieve the results I wanted, but he and his staff were courteous and professional. All of my phone calls were returned promptly and all of my questions were answered knowledgeably. I feel very fortunate to have found such a skilled professional and would recommend him to anyone interested in plastic surgery.”

“Dr. Jon Trevisani did my breast augmentation and…….. I got FANTASTIC results! I highly recommend him. There are quite a few gals on this site who have used him! I got Silicone Gel Implants for my first B/A [breast augmentation] surgery! I am in the 10-year Mentor Silicone Study where you get back $3,600.00 from Mentor; Great incentive! He is sooooooo easy to talk to and will do everything he can to give you what you want. He has tons of before-and-after pics to view when you go in for your consult! Good Luck! “

“Dr. Trevisani performed an awesome breast augmentation on me. The staff was marvelous also! He did my incision through the areola and you can’t even see the scar. It truly is amazing. I have all sensation plus some! I highly recommend this surgeon if anyone in the Central Florida area is looking for a plastic surgeon. The staff and Dr. Trevisani were very professional and informative. If you have any questions or concerns, they will set your curiosity free. If you are not sure, this plastic surgeon will tell you absolutely what will be best for your body type. I went to six doctors before choosing Trevisani. He made me feel very comfortable and definitely sold me on all his knowledge of this procedure. He also performed a little liposuction on me and the result was awesome. “
