Can silicone breast implants be reused?

I can honestly say I have never heard of this being done by a Plastic Surgeon.  The only time I would reuse an implant is if it is not infected and I remove it for a revision case and replace it during the same surgery. The implant manufacturer does not recommend sterilizing the implant and replacing it as it can damage the silicone.  I would seek another opinion. Hope this helps and best of luck.

The only time that implants should be reused would be if you were undergoing some type of revisional surgery and your implants were temporarily removed during the course of the operation. Under these circumstances it would be reasonable to replace the same implants. This is providing that you do not have any evidence of infection at the time. It is a poor idea and against manufacturer's recommendations to replace resterilized implants during a second operation.

Implants that have been removed due to infection should not be reused, even if they are sterilized. New implants should be used instead.
