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.
Even if your tissues have fully adhered to the implant, it is a simple matter for the surgeon to sweep the junction between you and the implant with their finger and take the implant out. It sounds like velcro but no tissue is removed. Please also know that you will see a drastic size and profile change going from your current to your planned implants.
