Destin doctors in high profile breast implant study

Destin is becoming to the Emerald Coast what Beverly Hills is to California.

Two local plastic surgeons will be participating in a new breast implant study along side Dr. Robert Rey of E!'s "Dr. 90210."

Dr. William Burden and Dr. Scott Ennis of Destin Plastic Surgery are among only 30 plastic surgeons who were chosen from the United States to be included in the study.

Mentor Corporation, a leader in breast implant manufacturing, has created a new adjustable silicone gel implant that is now in clinical trial.

Mentor chose the 30 surgeons based on their experience with silicone implants and credentials, according to the news release. Burden and Ennis are the only plastic surgeons in Northwest Florida, Alabama and Mississippi invited to participate.

"It is an honor to be among the nation's top plastic surgeons leading our field in the newest and latest technique and product," said Burden in the news release.

The implant is currently being used in Europe and Mentor is seeking FDA approval in the United States.

"We are pleased that our extensive surgical experience has garnered us this opportunity. We feel it is a great boost to have Destin included with larger destinations including Beverly Hills, New York and Las Vegas," Ennis said in the release.
