  * [[http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/8/prweb431831.htm|New Plastic Surgery Device Keeps Breast Implants in Place]] - **Synopsis:** As cosmetic surgery patients select larger and larger breast implants the long term risk for implant displacement increases. A new mesh sling (patented by Dr Robert E. Frank, MD) keeps breast implants from moving too low on the chest or into the woman’s armpit and replaces a longstanding procedure which is prone to failure. **Contact:** Dr Frank is a board certified Plastic Surgeon in private practice in Munster, Indiana. Dr Frank specializes in breast and body cosmetic procedures especially revisional plastic surgery. He is the patent holder for the mesh breast sling. More information on Dr Frank is available on his practice website www.ariasurgery.com or by phone at (219) 924-3377.
