NEW YORK, Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Establishment Labs, a global medical device company focused on breast aesthetics and reconstruction technologies with a strong emphasis on product development and innovation, announced today that Dennis Condon has been appointed to the Board of Directors.

On his appointment, Mr. Condon commented, “It is very exciting to see the extraordinary progress that Establishment Labs has brought to the field of breast aesthetics and the much needed innovation they have successfully developed and commercialized. The vastly improved patient outcomes is the first true differentiator in the market in decades, and I am very much looking forward to helping the company scale their business and help patients and plastic surgeons alike.”

Mr. Condon continued, “Establishment Labs has taken up the mantle of being the leader and innovator in this industry, and they are accomplishing much of what the industry should have been thinking about to improve safety and patient satisfaction. With this foundation, I think we can build the franchise and the products that can change and grow the industry in a way that has never been possible to date.”
