It is Safe To Use The Same Implant in Facial Implant Revisions?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I heard that it is unsafe to remove a facial implant, modify it and then put it right back in as it is then unsterile.

A:That is not an accurate statement. It is common to remove implants and modify them with immediate re-implantation for aesthetic purposes. This is standard practice in face implant revisions.
