The textured surface of this implant is readily separated from the capsule that has formed around it and you will not lose any tissue. Make sure the shape change is what you are truly looking for!

No tissue is lost during textured implant removal
Michael S. Beckenstein, MD answers: Do textured breast implants cause tissue loss during removal?
I currently have the Inamed 410 form stable implants - 280 grams. I am having them replaced in March 2009 with 200cc Mentor Round Moderate Profile Silicones. The 410s are textured and I've heard that when these implants are removed, the breast tissue that they had adhered to can be removed with the implant as well. Is this true?
I didn't have much tissue to start with and would hate to lose any that I did have. Also, the fact that my first BA was in early December of 2008 (only three months before my re-do) mean that perhaps the implant hasn't completely adhered? Thanks in advance. Your repsonses have been very comforting.
