Should I Return to Original Surgeon for Porex Implant Removal?
I have a Porex implant has become exposed. I had it done abroad. I am back in the UK now and the maxiliofacial consultant seems to have no experience with Porex. I had them done 5 weeks ago and now they have to be removed because the left one is exposed.
Should I return to the original surgeon or let them operate in this country? How difficult is it to remove after 5 weeks?
