What happens when implants too large for your chest/thorax are placed?
Implant displacement, stretched-out thin breast tissue, and asymmetry.
This can only be fixed with revision, implant exchange, implant place change, and tissue scaffold for support.
Patients, do your homework. Implants need to be sized through tissue-based planning techniques by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
The 14-step plan is then initiated in OR to prevent contamination of implants leading to capsular contracture. Otherwise, tissue distortion and collapse as well as device malposition and capsular contracture are guaranteed down the road. This ultimately leads to more surgeries and low patient satisfaction.
