FDA Warns Allergan over Seri scaffold
The FDA warned Allergan last month about marketing the Seri surgical scaffold in the U.S. for breast surgery indications without marketing clearance or approval.

Our patients’ stories: overcoming breast asymmetry
High school can be hard enough on a girl’s self esteem. But for Kate*, typical rites of passage — like shopping for a prom dress — were impossible.
After trying on dress after dress that didn’t fit, Kate ultimately settled on something in black, with draped fabric to strategically cover her chest. Alterations made the gown wearable, but Kate still worried about whether her date would notice something that had begun to seem increasingly unusual to her about her body.
Kate suffered from severely asymmetrical, or lopsided, breasts. As she moved through puberty, her right breast grew beyond a D cup size, while ...
