Professional Background
Dr. Delgado joined the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group staff in San Rafael, California, in 1988. In 1989, Dr. Delgado left Kaiser to open a private practice in Novato, California, adjacent to the original Novato Community Hospital on Hill Road. When Novato completed a new hospital facility on Rowland Way in 2001, Dr. Delgado joined many other Novato physicians in moving their practices to the new campus. It was on the new Novato Community Hospital campus that Dr. Delgado chose to open Marin Cosmetic Surgery Center. There he could provide his surgical patients, not only with private concierge care in a state-of-the-art surgical facility but also with that extra measure of safety and reassurance based on the surgery center’s contiguous location to a full-service hospital.

Asked 2014-06-02
I have saline implants under the muscle. No problems. It's been 14.5 years. Should I consider replacing them? Is it better to replace before a rupture?

It is nice to hear that you have had your implants for 14 years and no issues. Your situation is very simple; if you are having no issues then there is not need to go through the expense and down-time to replace them. This is the advantage of having normal saline implants. If the implants rupture you will know. Normal saline implants can also have a partial leak as well which is a valve issue. This is more difficult to tell.

Why do I need to stop smoking in order to have a facelift?
2 Answers
Miguel A. Delgado Jr., MD
Answered: 2014-06-05
The answer is simple; you should stop smoking before facelift surgery. The nicotine will cause decrease blood flow to the undermined skin and can cause skin death. This is a basic principle in facelift surgery and a principle to practice. However, in have a do perform facelifts on smokers who reduce their intake. My protocol is to pre-treat with Oxygen treatment before and after surgery. The surgery must be modified. The skin is lifted with the SMAS attached which is the deep layer of tissue. This will maintain a ok blood supply. The area behind the ear is the problem area and a short scar facelift is better. This is a more aggressive approach to facelift surgery. The patient needs to understand the risk. This, however, is not the standard of most plastic surgery practices and is more risk to the patient.
Asked 2014-06-03
I had subpectoral silicone implants placed in 1990. I was able to nurse twins for five months in 1999. I've recently heard that implants should be changed after 15 years. Is this true? I'm still happy with mine and do not notice any obvious problems. My mammograms and ultrasounds have been negative…

This is a very good and often asked question. If you are having no issues with your breast implants and have performed the appropriate test to rule out a implant rupture, then, there is no need to replace the breast implants. You have done everything correctly and just continue with the schedule maintenance. However, MRI are not 100% correct in ruling out a rupture. Your plastic surgeon will help you understand these issues.
Asked 2014-06-03
What is the difference between breast augmentation and breast implants?

Answered: 2014-06-05
Breast Augmentation is the surgical procedure. The breast implants are the silicone or saline device which is placed in the the breast to achieve the augmentation. Breast augmentation is also termed breast enhancement. Breast implants come in many shapes and sizes. Also, there are silicone and normal saline implants which can be smooth walled outer shell or textured. I hope this is helpful.
