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.
Please discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Make sure that you are changing implants for the right reason. Changing the implant will not add tissue to your breast.
Texure implants adher to the tissue but that makes removing the implant harder but you should not loose tissue.
The othere option is fat grafting. If you have thin skin and small amount of breast tissue, this will add volume.
