• Dr. Teitelbaum’s experience in highly cohesive implants dates to 2000 and he has performed surgery using these implants in hundreds of cases.
• Dr. Teitelbaum has developed the certification curriculum that all surgeons will be required to take in order to use these implants once they are approved by the FDA.
• He has a wide range of experience using cohesive implants including first time augmentation, revision, congenital deformities, lifts, etc.
• Dr. Teitelbaum is one of two surgeons in all of the United States to have been on the clinical trials of all three cohesive implants: the 410, the CPG, and the Silimed (now Sientra) implants.
• He has lectured on cohesive implants to other plastic surgeons on 5 continents and given over 50 talks on this type of implant.
