Innovation in Breast Reconstruction: Injectable Breast Implants
Injectable Breast Implants Co-Developed by Professor Phillip Blondeel
With this groundbreaking technology, Professor Phillip Blondeel aims to assist breast cancer patients who undergo breast reconstruction each year. In Belgium, this involves approximately 1,500 to 2,000 women annually who have lost a breast due to cancer or preventive mastectomy because of hereditary factors. Professor Blondeel, a world authority in breast reconstruction, has developed an innovative alternative to traditional silicone implants in collaboration with chemists from UZ Gent.
