    BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) Important Information

    Indications

    BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of:

    • Moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity
    • Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity
    • Moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity
    • Moderate to severe platysma bands associated with platysma muscle activity

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING

    WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT

    Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity and at lower doses.

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    BOTOX® Cosmetic is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
    Lack of Equivalency Between Botulinum Toxin Products
    The potency Units of BOTOX® Cosmetic are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not equivalent to other preparations of botulinum toxin products, and therefore, Units of biological activity of BOTOX® Cosmetic cannot be compared to nor converted into Units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method.

    Spread of Toxin Effect
    Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.

    No definitive serious adverse event reports of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of BOTOX® Cosmetic at the labeled dose of 20 Units (for glabellar lines), 24 Units (for lateral canthal lines), 40 Units (for forehead lines with glabellar lines), 44 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines and glabellar lines), and 64 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines, glabellar lines, and forehead lines) have been reported. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech, or respiratory disorders occur.

    Serious Adverse Reactions With Unapproved Use
    Serious adverse reactions, including excessive weakness, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia, with some adverse reactions associated with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received BOTOX® injections for unapproved uses. In these cases, the adverse reactions were not necessarily related to distant spread of toxin, but may have resulted from the administration of BOTOX® to the site of injection and/or adjacent structures. In several of the cases, patients had preexisting dysphagia or other significant disabilities. There is insufficient information to identify factors associated with an increased risk for adverse reactions associated with the unapproved uses of BOTOX®. The safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® for unapproved uses have not been established.

    Hypersensitivity Reactions
    Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such a reaction occurs, discontinue further injection of BOTOX Cosmetic and immediately institute appropriate medical therapy. One fatal case of anaphylaxis has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the diluent and, consequently, the causal agent cannot be reliably determined.

    Cardiovascular System
    There have been reports following administration of BOTOX® of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors, including preexisting cardiovascular disease. Use caution when administering to patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease.

    Increased Risk of Clinically Significant Effects With Preexisting Neuromuscular Disorders
    Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects, including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise from onabotulinumtoxinA (see Warnings and Precautions). Monitor individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or neuromuscular junction disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome) when given botulinum toxin.

    Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties
    Treatment with BOTOX® and other botulinum toxin products can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with preexisting swallowing or breathing difficulties may be more susceptible to these complications. In most cases, this is a consequence of weakening of muscles in the area of injection that are involved in breathing or oropharyngeal muscles that control swallowing or breathing (see Boxed Warning).

    Preexisting Conditions at the Injection Site
    Use caution when BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s) or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle(s).

    Dry Eye in Patients Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic
    There have been reports of dry eye associated with BOTOX® Cosmetic injection in or near the orbicularis oculi muscle. If symptoms of dry eye (eg, eye irritation, photophobia, or visual changes) persist, consider referring patients to an ophthalmologist.

    Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases
    This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries a remote risk for transmission of viral diseases and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which would also be considered remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD, or vCJD have ever been identified for licensed albumin or albumin contained in other licensed products.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS
    The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for glabellar lines were eyelid ptosis (3%), facial pain (1%), facial paresis (1%), and muscular weakness (1%).

    The most frequently reported adverse reaction following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for lateral canthal lines was eyelid edema (1%).

    The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for forehead lines with glabellar lines were headache (9%), brow ptosis (2%), and eyelid ptosis (2%).

    The safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment of platysma bands is consistent with the known safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic for other indications.

    DRUG INTERACTIONS
    Coadministration of BOTOX® Cosmetic and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (eg, curare-like compounds) should only be performed with caution as the effect of the toxin may be potentiated. Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects.

    The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxin products at the same time or within several months of each other is unknown. Excessive neuromuscular weakness may be exacerbated by administration of another botulinum toxin prior to the resolution of the effects of a previously administered botulinum toxin.

    Excessive weakness may also be exaggerated by administration of a muscle relaxant before or after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

    USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
    There are no studies or adequate data from postmarketing surveillance on the developmental risk associated with use of BOTOX® Cosmetic in pregnant women. There are no data on the presence of BOTOX® Cosmetic in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.

    Please see BOTOX® Cosmetic full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.

    Natrelle® Breast Implants IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    WARNINGS

    • Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, some of which will require more surgery
    • Breast implants have been associated with the development of a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This cancer occurs more commonly in patients with textured breast implants than smooth implants, although rates are not well defined. Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL
    • Patients receiving breast implants have reported a variety of systemic symptoms, such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others. Individual patient risk for developing these symptoms has not been well established. Some patients report complete resolution of symptoms when the implants are removed without replacement

    INDICATIONS
    Natrelle® Breast Implants are indicated for women for the following:

    • Breast augmentation for women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and breast augmentation for women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants. This includes primary breast augmentation to increase the breast size, as well as revision surgery to correct or improve the result of a primary breast augmentation surgery
    • Breast reconstruction. This includes primary reconstruction to replace breast tissue that has been removed due to cancer or trauma or that has failed to develop properly due to a severe breast abnormality. Breast reconstruction also includes revision surgery to correct or improve the result of a primary breast reconstruction surgery

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    Breast implant surgery should not be performed in:

    • Women with active infection anywhere in their body
    • Women with existing cancer or precancer of their breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions
    • Women who are currently pregnant or nursing

    ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

    • See Boxed Warning
    • Avoid damage during surgery: Care should be taken to avoid the use of excessive force and to minimize handling of the implant. Forcing of implants through too small an opening or applying concentrated localized pressure on the implants may result in localized weakening of the breast implant shell, potentially leading to shell damage and possible implant rupture. An incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implants. Use care when using surgical instruments in proximity with the breast implant
    • Follow recommended fill volumes for saline implants to decrease possibility of shell wrinkling and crease-fold failure

    PRECAUTIONS
    Safety and effectiveness have not been established in patients with the following:

    • Autoimmune diseases (eg, lupus and scleroderma)
    • A compromised immune system (eg, currently receiving immunosuppressive therapy)
    • Planned chemotherapy or radiation following breast implant placement
    • Conditions or medications that interfere with wound healing and blood clotting
    • Reduced blood supply to breast tissue
    • Clinical diagnosis of depression or other mental health disorders, including body dysmorphic disorder and eating disorders. Please discuss any history of mental health disorders prior to surgery. Patients with a diagnosis of depression, or other mental health disorders, should wait until resolution or stabilization of these conditions prior to undergoing breast implantation surgery

    ADVERSE EVENTS
    Possible adverse events with breast implant surgery include implant rupture with silicone implants, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, capsular contracture, reoperation, implant removal, pain, changes in nipple and breast sensation, infection, scarring, asymmetry, wrinkling, implant displacement/migration, implant palpability/visibility, breastfeeding complications, hematoma/seroma, implant extrusion, necrosis, delayed wound healing, infection, breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity, calcium deposits, and lymphadenopathy. Other systemic conditions have been reported with breast implants.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix
    ALLODERM SELECT RESTORE™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix Important Information

    INDICATIONS
    ALLODERM SELECT™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix (ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM refers to both ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM and ALLODERM SELECT RESTORE™ RTM products) is intended to be used for repair or replacement of damaged or inadequate integumental tissue or for other homologous uses of human integument. ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is intended for use in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction surgical procedures where the use of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is considered homologous, such as managing a potential skin defect created from harvesting tissue for use in autologous tissue reconstruction. Examples of uses in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction not considered homologous include use of an ADM to form an extension of the submuscular pocket for placement of a breast implant or tissue expander, and use to prevent expander or implant extrusion, or to constrain the expander or implant in the correct position. This product is intended for use in one patient, on a single occasion. ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is not indicated for use as a dural substitute or intended for use in veterinary applications.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM should not be used in patients with a known sensitivity to any of the antibiotics listed on the package and/or Polysorbate 20.

    WARNINGS
    Processing of the tissue, laboratory testing, and careful donor screening minimize the risk of the donor tissue transmitting disease to the recipient patient. As with any processed donor tissue, ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is not guaranteed to be free of all pathogens. No long-term studies have been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or reproductive impact of the clinical application of ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.

    DO NOT re-sterilize ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM. DO NOT reuse once the tissue graft has been removed from the packaging and/or is in contact with a patient. Discard all open and unused portions of the product in accordance with standard medical practice and institutional protocols for disposal of human tissue. Once a package or container seal has been compromised, the tissue shall be either transplanted, if appropriate, or otherwise discarded. DO NOT use if the foil pouch is opened or damaged. DO NOT use if the seal is broken or compromised. DO NOT use if the temperature monitoring device does not display “OK”. DO NOT use after the expiration date noted on the label. Transfer ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM from the foil pouch aseptically. DO NOT place the foil pouch in the sterile field.

    PRECAUTIONS
    Poor general medical condition or any pathology that would limit the blood supply and compromise healing should be considered when selecting patients for implanting ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM as such conditions may compromise successful clinical outcome. Whenever clinical circumstances require implantation in a site that is contaminated or infected, appropriate local and/or systemic anti-infective measures should be taken.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM has a distinct basement membrane (upper) and dermal surface (lower). When applied as an implant, it is recommended that the dermal side be placed against the most vascular tissue.  Soak the tissue for a minimum of 2 minutes using a sterile basin and room temperature sterile saline or room temperature sterile lactated Ringer’s solution to cover the tissue. If any hair is visible, remove using aseptic technique before implantation.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM should be hydrated and moist when the package is opened. DO NOT use if this product is dry. Use of this product is limited to specific health professionals (eg, physicians, dentists, and/or podiatrists). Certain considerations should be made to reduce the risk of adverse events when performing surgical procedures using a tissue graft. Please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for more information on patient/product selection and surgical procedures involving tissue implantation before using ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.

    ADVERSE EVENTS
    Potential adverse events which may result from surgical procedures associated with the implant of a tissue graft include, but are not limited to, the following: wound or systemic infection; seroma; dehiscence; hypersensitive, allergic or other immune response; and sloughing or failure of the graft.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is available by prescription only.

    For more information, please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.

    CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite Important Information

    Indications
    CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite are FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the thigh, abdomen, and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, underneath the buttocks (also known as banana roll), and upper arm in patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≤ 30 and in submental and submandibular areas in patients with a BMI of ≤ 46.2. It is also FDA-cleared to affect the appearance of lax tissue with submental area treatments.

    Important Safety Information
    CoolSculpting® and CoolSculpting® Elite are contraindicated in patients with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.

    Ask your patient about any medical conditions including pregnancy, recent surgery, pre-existing hernia, and any known sensitivities or allergies. Avoid treatments near/over implants, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, breast or buttock implants.

    During the procedure patients may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, cramping, and discomfort at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, stinging, tenderness, cramping, skin inflammation, and aching. Sensory alteration (itching, skin sensitivity, tingling, and numbness) can persist up to several weeks after treatment. Patients may also experience throat discomfort/soreness and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental or submandibular area treatment.

    Rare side effects may also occur. Paradoxical hyperplasia (visibly enlarged tissue volume in the treated area) may develop 2 to 5 months after treatment, will not resolve on its own, and may require surgical intervention for correction.

    As with any medical procedure, a consultation should be done by a licensed healthcare professional to determine if the patient is a candidate for treatment. For a complete list of Contraindications, Warnings, Precautions, and Potential Side Effects, consult the CoolSculpting® System User Manual and the CoolSculpting® Elite System User Manual. Treatment applications that deviate from the guidelines are not recommended.

    KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection 10 mg/mL Important Information

    INDICATION
    KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection is indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults.

    The safe and effective use of KYBELLA® for the treatment of subcutaneous fat outside the submental region has not been established and is not recommended.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    KYBELLA® is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the injection sites.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
    Marginal Mandibular Nerve Injury
    Cases of marginal mandibular nerve injury, manifested as an asymmetric smile or facial muscle weakness, were reported in 4% of subjects in the clinical trials; all cases resolved spontaneously (range 1-298 days, median 44 days). KYBELLA® should not be injected into or in close proximity to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.

    Dysphagia
    Dysphagia occurred in 2% of subjects in the clinical trials in the setting of administration-site reactions, eg, pain, swelling, and induration of the submental area; all cases of dysphagia resolved spontaneously (range 1-81 days, median 3 days). Avoid use of KYBELLA® in patients with current or prior history of dysphagia as treatment may exacerbate the condition.

    Injection Site Hematoma/Bruising
    In clinical trials, 72% of subjects treated with KYBELLA® experienced hematoma/bruising. KYBELLA® should be used with caution in patients with bleeding abnormalities or who are currently being treated with antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy as excessive bleeding or bruising in the treatment area may occur.

    Risk of Injecting Into or in Proximity to Vulnerable Anatomic Structures
    To avoid the potential of tissue damage, KYBELLA® should not be injected into or in close proximity (1 cm-1.5 cm) to salivary glands, lymph nodes, and muscles. Care should be taken to avoid inadvertent injection directly into an artery or a vein as it can result in vascular injury.

    Injection Site Alopecia
    Cases of injection site alopecia have been reported with administration of KYBELLA®. Onset and duration may vary among individuals and may persist. Consider withholding subsequent treatments until resolution.

    Injection Site Ulceration, Necrosis, and Infection
    Injections that are too superficial into the dermis may result in skin ulceration and necrosis. Cases of injection site ulceration, necrosis, and infection have been reported with administration of KYBELLA®. Some cases of injection site infection have included cellulitis and abscess requiring antibiotic treatment and incision and drainage. Do not administer KYBELLA® into affected area until complete resolution.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS
    The most commonly reported adverse reactions in the pivotal clinical trials were: injection site edema/swelling, hematoma/bruising, pain, numbness, erythema, and induration.

    Please see KYBELLA® full Prescribing Information.

    LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% Important Information

    Indication

    LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is indicated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth, including length, thickness, and darkness.

    Important Safety Information

    Contraindications: LATISSE® is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or to any of the ingredients.

    Warnings and Precautions: In patients using LUMIGAN® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) or other prostaglandin analogs for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), the concomitant use of LATISSE® may interfere with the desired reduction in IOP. Patients using prostaglandin analogs including LUMIGAN® for IOP reduction should only use LATISSE® after consulting with their physician and should be monitored for changes to their intraocular pressure.

    Increased iris pigmentation has occurred when bimatoprost solution was administered. Patients should be advised about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation, which is likely to be permanent.

    Bimatoprost has been reported to cause pigment changes (darkening) to periorbital pigmented tissues and eyelashes. The pigmentation is expected to increase as long as bimatoprost is administered, but has been reported to be reversible upon discontinuation of bimatoprost in most patients.

    There is the potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE® solution comes in repeated contact with skin surfaces. Apply LATISSE® only to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes.

    LATISSE® solution should be used with caution in patients with active intraocular inflammation (eg, uveitis) because the inflammation may be exacerbated. LATISSE® should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema.

    It is important to use LATISSE® solution as instructed, by placing one drop on the single-use-per-eye applicator. The bottle tip should not be allowed to contact any other surface since it could become contaminated. LATISSE® contains benzalkonium chloride, which may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of solution and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

    Adverse Reactions: The most frequently reported adverse reactions were eye pruritus, conjunctival hyperemia, skin hyperpigmentation, ocular irritation, dry eye symptoms, and periorbital erythema. These reactions occurred in less than 4% of patients.

    Postmarketing Experience: The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of LATISSE®: dry skin of the eyelid and/or periocular area, eye swelling, eyelid edema, hordeolum, hypersensitivity (local allergic reactions), lacrimation increased, madarosis and trichorrhexis (temporary loss of a few eyelashes to loss of sections of eyelashes, and temporary eyelash breakage, respectively), periorbital and lid changes associated with a deepening of the eyelid sulcus, rash (including macular and erythematous), skin discoloration (periorbital), trichiasis, and vision blurred.

    Please see LATISSE® full Prescribing Information.

    Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders With MAGNA-SITE® Injection Sites
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    INDICATIONS
    Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders are indicated for:

    • Breast reconstruction following mastectomy
    • Treatment of underdeveloped breasts
    • Treatment of soft tissue deformities 

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders should not be used in patients:

    • Who already have implanted devices that would be affected by a magnetic field (eg, pacemakers, drug infusion devices, and artificial sensing devices)
    • Whose tissue at the expansion site is determined to be unsuitable
    • Who have an active infection or a residual gross tumor at the expansion site
    • Who are undergoing adjuvant radiation therapy
    • Whose physiological condition (eg, sensitive over- or underlying anatomy, obesity, smoking, diabetes, autoimmune disease, hypertension, chronic lung or severe cardiovascular disease, or osteogenesis imperfecta) or use of certain drugs (including those that interfere with blood clotting or affect tissue viability) poses an unduly high risk of surgical and/or postoperative complications
    • Who are psychologically unsuitable

    WARNINGS

    • Do not use Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders in patients who already have implanted devices that would be affected by a magnetic field (see Contraindications) because the MAGNA-SITE® integrated injection site contains a strong rare-earth, permanent magnet. Diagnostic testing with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is contraindicated in patients with Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders in place 
    • Do not alter the tissue expander or use adulterated fill. Fill only with sterile saline for injection as described in INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. Do not expose to contaminants 
    • Do not expand if the pressure will compromise wound healing or vasculature of overlying tissue, or beyond patient or tissue tolerance. Stop filling immediately if tissue damage, wound dehiscence, abnormal skin pallor, erythema, edema, pain, or tenderness are observed
    • Do not reuse explanted products
    • Active infection anywhere may increase risk of periprosthetic infection. Do not expose the tissue expander or injection needles to contaminants. Postoperative infections should be treated aggressively 
    • Adverse reactions may require premature explantation
    • When using suturing tabs be careful to avoid piercing the shell. Use a new one if damage occurs 
    • Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders are temporary devices and are not to be used for permanent implantation or beyond 6 months. Tissue expansion in breast reconstruction typically requires 4 to 6 months

    PRECAUTIONS
    Active infections may need to be treated and resolved before surgery. Follow proper surgical procedures and carefully evaluate patient suitability using standard practice and individual experience. Avoid damage to the tissue expander and use a sterile backup in case of damage. Pay careful attention to tissue tolerance and hemostasis during surgery. Expansion should proceed moderately and never beyond patient or tissue tolerance. Avoid contamination in any postoperative procedure.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS
    Possible adverse reactions include deflation, tissue damage, infection, extrusion, hematoma/seroma, capsular contracture, premature explantation, displacement, effects on bone, pain, sensation, distortion, inadequate tissue flap, and inflammatory reaction.

    REVOLVE™ Advanced Adipose System Important Information

    INDICATIONS
    The REVOLVE™ Advanced Adipose System (REVOLVE™ System) is used for aspiration, harvesting, filtering, and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring. This system should be used with a legally marketed vacuum or aspirator apparatus as a source of suction. If harvested fat is to be re-implanted, the harvested fat is only to be used without any additional manipulation. REVOLVE™ System is intended for use in the following surgical specialties when the aspiration of soft tissue is desired: plastic and reconstructive surgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, and laparoscopic surgery.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    Contraindications to autologous fat transfer include the presence of any disease processes that adversely affect wound healing, and poor overall health status of the individual.

    WARNINGS
    REVOLVE™ System must be used within the same surgical procedure. Reuse of this device in the same patient in a subsequent surgical procedure, or for more than one patient, may result in infection and/or transmission of communicable diseases. Do not use the product if sterile packaging is damaged.

    This device will not, in and of itself, produce significant weight reduction. This device should be used with extreme caution in patients with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, heart, lung, or circulatory system disease or obesity. The volume of blood loss and endogenous body fluid loss may adversely affect intra and/or postoperative hemodynamic stability and patient safety. The capability of providing adequate, timely replacement is essential for patient safety.

    PRECAUTIONS
    REVOLVE™ System is designed to remove localized deposits of excess fat through small incision and subsequently transfer the tissue back to the patient. Use of this device is limited to those physicians who, by means of formal professional training or sanctioned continuing medical education (including supervised operative experience), have attained proficiency in suction lipoplasty and tissue transfer. Results of this procedure will vary depending upon patient age, surgical site, and experience of the physician. Results of this procedure may or may not be permanent. The amount of fat removed should be limited to that necessary to achieve a desired cosmetic effect. Filling the device with adipose tissue over the maximum fill volume line can lead to occlusion of the mesh resulting in mesh tear.

    ADVERSE EFFECTS
    Some common adverse effects associated with autologous fat transfer are asymmetry, over- and/or under-correction of the treatment site, tissue lumps, bleeding, and scarring. Potential adverse effects associated with REVOLVE™ System include fat necrosis, cyst formation, infection, chronic foreign body response, allergic reaction, and inflammation.

    REVOLVE™ System is available by prescription only.

    STRATTICE™ RECONSTRUCTIVE TISSUE MATRIX (RTM), STRATTICE™ RTM PERFORATED, STRATTICE™ RTM EXTRA THICK, AND STRATTICE™ RTM LAPAROSCOPIC IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    INDICATIONS

    STRATTICE™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (RTM), STRATTICE™ RTM Perforated, STRATTICE™ RTM Extra Thick, and STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic are intended for use as soft tissue patches to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for the surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes. Indications for use of these products include the repair of hernias and/or body wall defects which require the use of reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical outcome. STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic is indicated for such uses in open or laparoscopic procedures. These products are supplied sterile and are intended for single patient one-time use only.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    These products should not be used in patients with a known sensitivity to porcine material and/or Polysorbate 20.

    WARNINGS
    Do not resterilize. Discard all open and unused portions of these devices. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. Do not use if seal is broken or compromised. After use, handle and dispose of all unused product and packaging in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

    Do not reuse once the surgical mesh has been removed from the packaging and/or is in contact with a patient. This increases risk of patient-to-patient contamination and subsequent infection.

    For STRATTICE™ RTM Extra Thick, do not use if the temperature monitoring device does not display “OK.”

    PRECAUTIONS
    Discard these products if mishandling has caused possible damage or contamination, or the products are past their expiration date. Ensure these products are placed in a sterile basin and covered with room temperature sterile saline or room temperature sterile lactated Ringer’s solution for a minimum of 2 minutes prior to implantation in the body. Place these products in maximum possible contact with healthy, well-vascularized tissue to promote cell ingrowth and tissue remodeling. These products should be hydrated and moist when the package is opened. If the surgical mesh is dry, do not use.

    Certain considerations should be used when performing surgical procedures using a surgical mesh product. Consider the risk/benefit balance of use in patients with significant co-morbidities; including but not limited to, obesity, smoking, diabetes, immunosuppression, malnourishment, poor tissue oxygenation (such as COPD), and pre- or post-operative radiation.

    Presence of a significant microbial load may affect overall performance of surgical mesh. Utilize bioburdenreducing techniques to minimize contamination levels at the surgical site, including, but not limited to, appropriate drainage, debridement, negative pressure therapy, and/or antimicrobial therapy.

    In large abdominal wall defect cases where midline fascial closure cannot be obtained, with or without separation of components techniques, utilization of the surgical mesh in a bridged fashion is associated with a higher risk of hernia recurrence than when used to reinforce fascial closure.

    For STRATTICE™ RTM Perforated, if a tissue punch-out piece is visible, remove using aseptic technique before implantation.

    For STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic, refrain from using excessive force if inserting the mesh through the trocar.

    STRATTICE™ RTM, STRATTICE™ RTM Perforated, STRATTICE™ RTM Extra Thick, and STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic are available by prescription only.

    For more information, please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for all STRATTICE™ RTM products.

    BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) Important Information

    Indications

    BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of:

    • Moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity
    • Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity
    • Moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity
    • Moderate to severe platysma bands associated with platysma muscle activity

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING

    WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT

    Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity and at lower doses.

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    BOTOX® Cosmetic is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
    Lack of Equivalency Between Botulinum Toxin Products
    The potency Units of BOTOX® Cosmetic are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not equivalent to other preparations of botulinum toxin products, and therefore, Units of biological activity of BOTOX® Cosmetic cannot be compared to nor converted into Units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method.

    Spread of Toxin Effect
    Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.

    No definitive serious adverse event reports of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of BOTOX® Cosmetic at the labeled dose of 20 Units (for glabellar lines), 24 Units (for lateral canthal lines), 40 Units (for forehead lines with glabellar lines), 44 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines and glabellar lines), and 64 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines, glabellar lines, and forehead lines) have been reported. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech, or respiratory disorders occur.

    Serious Adverse Reactions With Unapproved Use
    Serious adverse reactions, including excessive weakness, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia, with some adverse reactions associated with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received BOTOX® injections for unapproved uses. In these cases, the adverse reactions were not necessarily related to distant spread of toxin, but may have resulted from the administration of BOTOX® to the site of injection and/or adjacent structures. In several of the cases, patients had preexisting dysphagia or other significant disabilities. There is insufficient information to identify factors associated with an increased risk for adverse reactions associated with the unapproved uses of BOTOX®. The safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® for unapproved uses have not been established.

    Hypersensitivity Reactions
    Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such a reaction occurs, discontinue further injection of BOTOX Cosmetic and immediately institute appropriate medical therapy. One fatal case of anaphylaxis has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the diluent and, consequently, the causal agent cannot be reliably determined.

    Cardiovascular System
    There have been reports following administration of BOTOX® of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors, including preexisting cardiovascular disease. Use caution when administering to patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease.

    Increased Risk of Clinically Significant Effects With Preexisting Neuromuscular Disorders
    Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects, including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise from onabotulinumtoxinA (see Warnings and Precautions). Monitor individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or neuromuscular junction disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome) when given botulinum toxin.

    Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties
    Treatment with BOTOX® and other botulinum toxin products can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with preexisting swallowing or breathing difficulties may be more susceptible to these complications. In most cases, this is a consequence of weakening of muscles in the area of injection that are involved in breathing or oropharyngeal muscles that control swallowing or breathing (see Boxed Warning).

    Preexisting Conditions at the Injection Site
    Use caution when BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s) or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle(s).

    Dry Eye in Patients Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic
    There have been reports of dry eye associated with BOTOX® Cosmetic injection in or near the orbicularis oculi muscle. If symptoms of dry eye (eg, eye irritation, photophobia, or visual changes) persist, consider referring patients to an ophthalmologist.

    Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases
    This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries a remote risk for transmission of viral diseases and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which would also be considered remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD, or vCJD have ever been identified for licensed albumin or albumin contained in other licensed products.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS
    The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for glabellar lines were eyelid ptosis (3%), facial pain (1%), facial paresis (1%), and muscular weakness (1%).

    The most frequently reported adverse reaction following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for lateral canthal lines was eyelid edema (1%).

    The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for forehead lines with glabellar lines were headache (9%), brow ptosis (2%), and eyelid ptosis (2%).

    The safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment of platysma bands is consistent with the known safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic for other indications.

    DRUG INTERACTIONS
    Coadministration of BOTOX® Cosmetic and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (eg, curare-like compounds) should only be performed with caution as the effect of the toxin may be potentiated. Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects.

    The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxin products at the same time or within several months of each other is unknown. Excessive neuromuscular weakness may be exacerbated by administration of another botulinum toxin prior to the resolution of the effects of a previously administered botulinum toxin.

    Excessive weakness may also be exaggerated by administration of a muscle relaxant before or after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

    Natrelle® Breast Implants IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    WARNINGS

    • Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, some of which will require more surgery
    • Breast implants have been associated with the development of a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This cancer occurs more commonly in patients with textured breast implants than smooth implants, although rates are not well defined. Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL
    • Patients receiving breast implants have reported a variety of systemic symptoms, such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others. Individual patient risk for developing these symptoms has not been well established. Some patients report complete resolution of symptoms when the implants are removed without replacement

    INDICATIONS
    Natrelle® Breast Implants are indicated for women for the following:

    • Breast augmentation for women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and breast augmentation for women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants. This includes primary breast augmentation to increase the breast size, as well as revision surgery to correct or improve the result of a primary breast augmentation surgery
    • Breast reconstruction. This includes primary reconstruction to replace breast tissue that has been removed due to cancer or trauma or that has failed to develop properly due to a severe breast abnormality. Breast reconstruction also includes revision surgery to correct or improve the result of a primary breast reconstruction surgery

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    Breast implant surgery should not be performed in:

    • Women with active infection anywhere in their body
    • Women with existing cancer or precancer of their breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions
    • Women who are currently pregnant or nursing

    ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

    • See Boxed Warning
    • Avoid damage during surgery: Care should be taken to avoid the use of excessive force and to minimize handling of the implant. Forcing of implants through too small an opening or applying concentrated localized pressure on the implants may result in localized weakening of the breast implant shell, potentially leading to shell damage and possible implant rupture. An incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implants. Use care when using surgical instruments in proximity with the breast implant
    • Follow recommended fill volumes for saline implants to decrease possibility of shell wrinkling and crease-fold failure

    PRECAUTIONS
    Safety and effectiveness have not been established in patients with the following:

    • Autoimmune diseases (eg, lupus and scleroderma)
    • A compromised immune system (eg, currently receiving immunosuppressive therapy)
    • Planned chemotherapy or radiation following breast implant placement
    • Conditions or medications that interfere with wound healing and blood clotting
    • Reduced blood supply to breast tissue
    • Clinical diagnosis of depression or other mental health disorders, including body dysmorphic disorder and eating disorders. Please discuss any history of mental health disorders prior to surgery. Patients with a diagnosis of depression, or other mental health disorders, should wait until resolution or stabilization of these conditions prior to undergoing breast implantation surgery

    ADVERSE EVENTS
    Possible adverse events with breast implant surgery include implant rupture with silicone implants, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, capsular contracture, reoperation, implant removal, pain, changes in nipple and breast sensation, infection, scarring, asymmetry, wrinkling, implant displacement/migration, implant palpability/visibility, breastfeeding complications, hematoma/seroma, implant extrusion, necrosis, delayed wound healing, infection, breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity, calcium deposits, and lymphadenopathy. Other systemic conditions have been reported with breast implants.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix
    ALLODERM SELECT RESTORE™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix Important Information

    INDICATIONS
    ALLODERM SELECT™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix (ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM refers to both ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM and ALLODERM SELECT RESTORE™ RTM products) is intended to be used for repair or replacement of damaged or inadequate integumental tissue or for other homologous uses of human integument. ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is intended for use in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction surgical procedures where the use of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is considered homologous, such as managing a potential skin defect created from harvesting tissue for use in autologous tissue reconstruction. Examples of uses in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction not considered homologous include use of an ADM to form an extension of the submuscular pocket for placement of a breast implant or tissue expander, and use to prevent expander or implant extrusion, or to constrain the expander or implant in the correct position. This product is intended for use in one patient, on a single occasion. ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is not indicated for use as a dural substitute or intended for use in veterinary applications.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM should not be used in patients with a known sensitivity to any of the antibiotics listed on the package and/or Polysorbate 20.

    WARNINGS
    Processing of the tissue, laboratory testing, and careful donor screening minimize the risk of the donor tissue transmitting disease to the recipient patient. As with any processed donor tissue, ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is not guaranteed to be free of all pathogens. No long-term studies have been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or reproductive impact of the clinical application of ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.

    DO NOT re-sterilize ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM. DO NOT reuse once the tissue graft has been removed from the packaging and/or is in contact with a patient. Discard all open and unused portions of the product in accordance with standard medical practice and institutional protocols for disposal of human tissue. Once a package or container seal has been compromised, the tissue shall be either transplanted, if appropriate, or otherwise discarded. DO NOT use if the foil pouch is opened or damaged. DO NOT use if the seal is broken or compromised. DO NOT use if the temperature monitoring device does not display “OK”. DO NOT use after the expiration date noted on the label. Transfer ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM from the foil pouch aseptically. DO NOT place the foil pouch in the sterile field.

    PRECAUTIONS
    Poor general medical condition or any pathology that would limit the blood supply and compromise healing should be considered when selecting patients for implanting ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM as such conditions may compromise successful clinical outcome. Whenever clinical circumstances require implantation in a site that is contaminated or infected, appropriate local and/or systemic anti-infective measures should be taken.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM has a distinct basement membrane (upper) and dermal surface (lower). When applied as an implant, it is recommended that the dermal side be placed against the most vascular tissue.  Soak the tissue for a minimum of 2 minutes using a sterile basin and room temperature sterile saline or room temperature sterile lactated Ringer’s solution to cover the tissue. If any hair is visible, remove using aseptic technique before implantation.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM should be hydrated and moist when the package is opened. DO NOT use if this product is dry. Use of this product is limited to specific health professionals (eg, physicians, dentists, and/or podiatrists). Certain considerations should be made to reduce the risk of adverse events when performing surgical procedures using a tissue graft. Please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for more information on patient/product selection and surgical procedures involving tissue implantation before using ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.

    ADVERSE EVENTS
    Potential adverse events which may result from surgical procedures associated with the implant of a tissue graft include, but are not limited to, the following: wound or systemic infection; seroma; dehiscence; hypersensitive, allergic or other immune response; and sloughing or failure of the graft.

    ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is available by prescription only.

    For more information, please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.

    KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection 10 mg/mL Important Information

    INDICATION
    KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) injection is indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults.

    The safe and effective use of KYBELLA® for the treatment of subcutaneous fat outside the submental region has not been established and is not recommended.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    KYBELLA® is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the injection sites.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
    Marginal Mandibular Nerve Injury
    Cases of marginal mandibular nerve injury, manifested as an asymmetric smile or facial muscle weakness, were reported in 4% of subjects in the clinical trials; all cases resolved spontaneously (range 1-298 days, median 44 days). KYBELLA® should not be injected into or in close proximity to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.

    Dysphagia
    Dysphagia occurred in 2% of subjects in the clinical trials in the setting of administration-site reactions, eg, pain, swelling, and induration of the submental area; all cases of dysphagia resolved spontaneously (range 1-81 days, median 3 days). Avoid use of KYBELLA® in patients with current or prior history of dysphagia as treatment may exacerbate the condition.

    Injection Site Hematoma/Bruising
    In clinical trials, 72% of subjects treated with KYBELLA® experienced hematoma/bruising. KYBELLA® should be used with caution in patients with bleeding abnormalities or who are currently being treated with antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy as excessive bleeding or bruising in the treatment area may occur.

    Risk of Injecting Into or in Proximity to Vulnerable Anatomic Structures
    To avoid the potential of tissue damage, KYBELLA® should not be injected into or in close proximity (1 cm-1.5 cm) to salivary glands, lymph nodes, and muscles. Care should be taken to avoid inadvertent injection directly into an artery or a vein as it can result in vascular injury.

    Injection Site Alopecia
    Cases of injection site alopecia have been reported with administration of KYBELLA®. Onset and duration may vary among individuals and may persist. Consider withholding subsequent treatments until resolution.

    Injection Site Ulceration, Necrosis, and Infection
    Injections that are too superficial into the dermis may result in skin ulceration and necrosis. Cases of injection site ulceration, necrosis, and infection have been reported with administration of KYBELLA®. Some cases of injection site infection have included cellulitis and abscess requiring antibiotic treatment and incision and drainage. Do not administer KYBELLA® into affected area until complete resolution.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS
    The most commonly reported adverse reactions in the pivotal clinical trials were: injection site edema/swelling, hematoma/bruising, pain, numbness, erythema, and induration.

    Please see KYBELLA® full Prescribing Information.

    LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% Important Information

    Indication

    LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is indicated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth, including length, thickness, and darkness.

    Important Safety Information

    Contraindications: LATISSE® is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or to any of the ingredients.

    Warnings and Precautions: In patients using LUMIGAN® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) or other prostaglandin analogs for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), the concomitant use of LATISSE® may interfere with the desired reduction in IOP. Patients using prostaglandin analogs including LUMIGAN® for IOP reduction should only use LATISSE® after consulting with their physician and should be monitored for changes to their intraocular pressure.

    Increased iris pigmentation has occurred when bimatoprost solution was administered. Patients should be advised about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation, which is likely to be permanent.

    Bimatoprost has been reported to cause pigment changes (darkening) to periorbital pigmented tissues and eyelashes. The pigmentation is expected to increase as long as bimatoprost is administered, but has been reported to be reversible upon discontinuation of bimatoprost in most patients.

    There is the potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE® solution comes in repeated contact with skin surfaces. Apply LATISSE® only to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes.

    LATISSE® solution should be used with caution in patients with active intraocular inflammation (eg, uveitis) because the inflammation may be exacerbated. LATISSE® should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema.

    It is important to use LATISSE® solution as instructed, by placing one drop on the single-use-per-eye applicator. The bottle tip should not be allowed to contact any other surface since it could become contaminated. LATISSE® contains benzalkonium chloride, which may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of solution and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

    Adverse Reactions: The most frequently reported adverse reactions were eye pruritus, conjunctival hyperemia, skin hyperpigmentation, ocular irritation, dry eye symptoms, and periorbital erythema. These reactions occurred in less than 4% of patients.

    Postmarketing Experience: The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of LATISSE®: dry skin of the eyelid and/or periocular area, eye swelling, eyelid edema, hordeolum, hypersensitivity (local allergic reactions), lacrimation increased, madarosis and trichorrhexis (temporary loss of a few eyelashes to loss of sections of eyelashes, and temporary eyelash breakage, respectively), periorbital and lid changes associated with a deepening of the eyelid sulcus, rash (including macular and erythematous), skin discoloration (periorbital), trichiasis, and vision blurred.

    Please see LATISSE® full Prescribing Information.

    • Active infection anywhere may increase risk of periprosthetic infection. Do not expose the tissue expander or injection needles to contaminants. Postoperative infections should be treated aggressively 
    • Adverse reactions may require premature explantation
    • When using suturing tabs be careful to avoid piercing the shell. Use a new one if damage occurs 
    • Natrelle® 133S Smooth Tissue Expanders are temporary devices and are not to be used for permanent implantation or beyond 6 months. Tissue expansion in breast reconstruction typically requires 4 to 6 months

    PRECAUTIONS
    Active infections may need to be treated and resolved before surgery. Follow proper surgical procedures and carefully evaluate patient suitability using standard practice and individual experience. Avoid damage to the tissue expander and use a sterile backup in case of damage. Pay careful attention to tissue tolerance and hemostasis during surgery. Expansion should proceed moderately and never beyond patient or tissue tolerance. Avoid contamination in any postoperative procedure.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS
    Possible adverse reactions include deflation, tissue damage, infection, extrusion, hematoma/seroma, capsular contracture, premature explantation, displacement, effects on bone, pain, sensation, distortion, inadequate tissue flap, and inflammatory reaction.

    REVOLVE™ Advanced Adipose System Important Information

    INDICATIONS
    The REVOLVE™ Advanced Adipose System (REVOLVE™ System) is used for aspiration, harvesting, filtering, and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring. This system should be used with a legally marketed vacuum or aspirator apparatus as a source of suction. If harvested fat is to be re-implanted, the harvested fat is only to be used without any additional manipulation. REVOLVE™ System is intended for use in the following surgical specialties when the aspiration of soft tissue is desired: plastic and reconstructive surgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, and laparoscopic surgery.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    Contraindications to autologous fat transfer include the presence of any disease processes that adversely affect wound healing, and poor overall health status of the individual.

    WARNINGS
    REVOLVE™ System must be used within the same surgical procedure. Reuse of this device in the same patient in a subsequent surgical procedure, or for more than one patient, may result in infection and/or transmission of communicable diseases. Do not use the product if sterile packaging is damaged.

    This device will not, in and of itself, produce significant weight reduction. This device should be used with extreme caution in patients with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, heart, lung, or circulatory system disease or obesity. The volume of blood loss and endogenous body fluid loss may adversely affect intra and/or postoperative hemodynamic stability and patient safety. The capability of providing adequate, timely replacement is essential for patient safety.

    PRECAUTIONS
    REVOLVE™ System is designed to remove localized deposits of excess fat through small incision and subsequently transfer the tissue back to the patient. Use of this device is limited to those physicians who, by means of formal professional training or sanctioned continuing medical education (including supervised operative experience), have attained proficiency in suction lipoplasty and tissue transfer. Results of this procedure will vary depending upon patient age, surgical site, and experience of the physician. Results of this procedure may or may not be permanent. The amount of fat removed should be limited to that necessary to achieve a desired cosmetic effect. Filling the device with adipose tissue over the maximum fill volume line can lead to occlusion of the mesh resulting in mesh tear.

    ADVERSE EFFECTS
    Some common adverse effects associated with autologous fat transfer are asymmetry, over- and/or under-correction of the treatment site, tissue lumps, bleeding, and scarring. Potential adverse effects associated with REVOLVE™ System include fat necrosis, cyst formation, infection, chronic foreign body response, allergic reaction, and inflammation.

    REVOLVE™ System is available by prescription only.

    For more information, please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) and User Manual for REVOLVE™ System available at https://hcp.revolvefatgrafting.com or call 1.800.678.1605.

    SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Important Information

    INDICATIONS

    SKINVIVE by JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is indicated for intradermal injection to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults over the age of 21.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    This product should not be used in patients who have severe allergies, marked by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple severe allergies, and should not be used in patients with a history of allergies to Gram-positive bacterial proteins or lidocaine contained in this product.

    WARNINGS

    • Do not inject into blood vessels. Introduction of this product into the vasculature may lead to embolization, occlusion of the vessels, ischemia, or infarction. Take extra care when injecting soft- tissue fillers; for example, after insertion of the needle and just before injection, the plunger rod can be withdrawn slightly to aspirate and verify the needle is not intravascular, inject the product slowly, and apply the least amount of pressure necessary. Rare, but serious, adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft-tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms: changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure.Patients should receive prompt medical attention and, possibly, evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional specialist should an intravascular injection occur
    • Product use at specific sites in which an active inflammatory process (skin eruptions such as cysts, pimples, rashes, or hives) or infection is present should be deferred until the underlying process has been controlled
    • Injection site responses consist mainly of short-term inflammatory symptoms and generally resolve within 1 week. Refer to the ADVERSE EVENTS

    PRECAUTIONS

    • To minimize the risk of potential complications, this product should only be used by healthcare professionals who have appropriate training, experience, and who are knowledgeable about the anatomy at and around the site of injection
    • Discuss all potential risks of soft tissue injections with patients prior to treatment and ensure patients are aware of signs and symptoms of potential complications
    • Limit patients to 20 mL of any JUVÉDERM® injectable gel per 60 kg (130 lbs.) body mass per year. The safety of injecting greater amounts has not been established
    • This product is intended for improving skin smoothness and fine lines of the cheeks. The safety and effectiveness of use in other areas of the body have not been established
    • Injection of more than 6.0 mL of this product (initial and touch-up treatment combined) for improvement of skin smoothness and fine lines of the cheeks has not been studied
    • As with all transcutaneous procedures, injections of the product carry a risk of infection
    • The safety for use during pregnancy, in breastfeeding females, and in patients under 22 years has not been established
    • The safety in patients with known susceptibility to keloid formation, hypertrophic scarring, or pigmentation disorders has not been studied
    • This product should be used with caution in patients on immunosuppressive therapy
    • Patients taking medications that can prolong bleeding (such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and warfarin) may experience increased bruising or bleeding at treatment sites
    • Patients may experience late onset AEs with use of injectable gel implants, including this product
    • This product should only be used by healthcare professionals who have appropriate experience and who are knowledgeable about the anatomy and the product for use in the face
    • If laser treatment, chemical peel, or any other procedure based on active dermal response is considered after treatment, or before skin has healed from a procedure prior to treatment, there is a possible risk of eliciting an inflammatory reaction at the injection site

    ADVERSE EVENTS
    In clinical studies, injection site responses (ISRs) observed in >5% of treated subjects included redness, lumps/bumps, swelling, bruising, pain, tenderness, firmness, discoloration, and itching. Most ISRs were mild. Adverse events reported through postmarketing surveillance outside of the United States included inflammatory reaction, inflammatory nodule, unsatisfactory result, loss/lack of correction, allergic reaction, anxiety, vascular occlusion, infection, dry skin, increase/decrease in sensation, and abscess.

    STRATTICE™ RECONSTRUCTIVE TISSUE MATRIX (RTM), STRATTICE™ RTM PERFORATED, STRATTICE™ RTM EXTRA THICK, AND STRATTICE™ RTM LAPAROSCOPIC IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    INDICATIONS

    STRATTICE™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (RTM), STRATTICE™ RTM Perforated, STRATTICE™ RTM Extra Thick, and STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic are intended for use as soft tissue patches to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for the surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes. Indications for use of these products include the repair of hernias and/or body wall defects which require the use of reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical outcome. STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic is indicated for such uses in open or laparoscopic procedures. These products are supplied sterile and are intended for single patient one-time use only.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS
    These products should not be used in patients with a known sensitivity to porcine material and/or Polysorbate 20.

    WARNINGS
    Do not resterilize. Discard all open and unused portions of these devices. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. Do not use if seal is broken or compromised. After use, handle and dispose of all unused product and packaging in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

    Do not reuse once the surgical mesh has been removed from the packaging and/or is in contact with a patient. This increases risk of patient-to-patient contamination and subsequent infection.

    For STRATTICE™ RTM Extra Thick, do not use if the temperature monitoring device does not display “OK.”

    PRECAUTIONS
    Discard these products if mishandling has caused possible damage or contamination, or the products are past their expiration date. Ensure these products are placed in a sterile basin and covered with room temperature sterile saline or room temperature sterile lactated Ringer’s solution for a minimum of 2 minutes prior to implantation in the body. Place these products in maximum possible contact with healthy, well-vascularized tissue to promote cell ingrowth and tissue remodeling. These products should be hydrated and moist when the package is opened. If the surgical mesh is dry, do not use.

    Certain considerations should be used when performing surgical procedures using a surgical mesh product. Consider the risk/benefit balance of use in patients with significant co-morbidities; including but not limited to, obesity, smoking, diabetes, immunosuppression, malnourishment, poor tissue oxygenation (such as COPD), and pre- or post-operative radiation.

    Presence of a significant microbial load may affect overall performance of surgical mesh. Utilize bioburdenreducing techniques to minimize contamination levels at the surgical site, including, but not limited to, appropriate drainage, debridement, negative pressure therapy, and/or antimicrobial therapy.

    In large abdominal wall defect cases where midline fascial closure cannot be obtained, with or without separation of components techniques, utilization of the surgical mesh in a bridged fashion is associated with a higher risk of hernia recurrence than when used to reinforce fascial closure.

    For STRATTICE™ RTM Perforated, if a tissue punch-out piece is visible, remove using aseptic technique before implantation.

    For STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic, refrain from using excessive force if inserting the mesh through the trocar.

    STRATTICE™ RTM, STRATTICE™ RTM Perforated, STRATTICE™ RTM Extra Thick, and STRATTICE™ RTM Laparoscopic are available by prescription only.

    For more information, please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for all STRATTICE™ RTM products.
