There are many advantages to the Keller Funnel® when silicone breast implants are placed. It allows for a smaller incision, a true, no touch delivery, and less trauma to the breast implants and breast during the surgery. Before the Keller Funnel®, the plastic surgeon would have to use their fingers to push the breast implant into the pocket. Each finger would create a high pressure point and possibly weaken the implant shell. Over time, this could eventually lead to an implant leak. All of this can be easily avoided by use of the Keller Funnel® which typically results in less discomfort and a faster recovery for many patients.
When used by one of the many experienced and well-trained top plastic surgeons in Arizona, the Keller Funnel® will reduce the length of the incision when placing silicone breast implants. It delivers the breast implants with a no touch technique, reduces trauma to the breast tissue and the breast implant, and reduces the patient’s length of time under anesthesia.
We use the Keller Funnel® in all of our silicone breast implant cases.
The Keller Funnel® is a simple surgical device. It is also very easy to use. When the device is ready for use it is trimmed to reflect the size of the breast implant. On the outside, there is a pre-marked ruler that shows the surgeon where to trim the funnel to the desired size. The funnel is then placed for a few minutes in saline solution which activates the special lubricant on the inner lining.
At this point, the funnel is ready to use. The small end is placed inside the breast pocket while the breast implant goes in the large end. A gentle squeeze will cause the implant to slide towards the breast pocket. Using only mild pressure, the gel implant is propelled into the breast pocket without touching skin or breast tissue. Then the incision is closed.
The Keller Funnel® is a surgical device which assists the surgeon in placing silicone breast implants efficiently and safely. The funnel is sterile and is only for one operation. It cannot be reused.
Dr. Aldo highly recommends the Keller Funnel®.

I was searching for a doctor to perform my breast augmentation, and if you knew me at all you'd know that I am very cautious about changes being made to my hair, makeup, body, etc. I looked online and went to consultations for over a year before actually pulling the trigger. I got many referrals involving price and location, but ultimately wanted someone who made me feel comfortable.
Dr. Aldo Guerra is friendly and knowledgeable and have done many womans implants that I know... and still refer to today. They gave me a great experience and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I will be going back in the future. 5 stars.
