Kelly Ripa Explores 'Ballerina B--' Implants

Kelly Ripa recently discussed her interest in breast augmentation, particularly the 'ballerina b--' procedure, on her podcast with plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow. This approach features smaller, undetectable implants, often placed partially under the muscle.

Dr. Dubrow clarified that these newer implants do not necessarily need replacement every decade. He stated that with routine monitoring, which now involves an initial MRI after five to six years and subsequent scans every two years, the implants could theoretically last a lifetime if no adverse clinical changes occur.

Furthermore, Dr. Dubrow assured Ripa that the 'ballerina b--' implants significantly reduce the risk of capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue tightens around the implant. Ripa expressed excitement about this information, indicating a strong inclination to proceed with the procedure.
