The Keller Funnel ™ has truly revolutionized the placement of silicone breast implants.
As a surgeon certified in its use, Dr. Diehl has been using this method exclusively to place his silicone breast implants from the underarm when performing his scarless breast augmentation.
The funnel works like piping bag which squeezes the silicone breast implant out and into the patient. Its special attribute is its super-strong material which does not tear, and the patented inner coating which slides the implant out with ease. It may sound simple, but consider that silicone breast implants have been in use around the world since 1962, and took until 2009 to develop this technology.
The funnel is a critical tool to use for implant placement because it squeezes the implant out of its narrow end and into the patient with a much smaller incision than the traditional method of pushing the implant into the patient manually.
And a smaller incision is always important to the patient, especially when the implant is placed from the underarm as Dr. Diehl performs during his scarless breast augmentation. This small incision in the underarm becomes virtually invisible, because it is placed exactly on the natural crease that is already there under the arm.
Because after all, why show an incision if you don’t have to?
