Management of Asymptomatic Patients With Textured Surface Breast Implants
With the recent voluntary recall by Allergan of their Biocell textured implants, many plastic surgeons are left with questions of how to best manage asymptomatic patients who have concerns about having these devices. We realized that there is no clear, published recommendations or scientific data to...

description | With the recent voluntary recall by Allergan of their Biocell textured implants, many plastic surgeons are left with questions of how to best manage asymptomatic patients who have concerns about having these devices. We realized that there is no clear, published recommendations or scientific data to guide surgeons on how to discuss options with their patients and recommendations for surgical management in this uncharted territory. Using available literature and personal experience, we answer the most common questions we are hearing from our plastic surgery colleagues. |
