What Should I Expect For a Implant Revision? What Is The Rejection Rate Of Strattice?
I am getting a revision with implant exchange to silicone, plication on right breast and a capsulectomy with an acellular dermal matrix on 2 weeks and I am extremely scared. How painful is this procedure usually and what is the rejection and infection rate of strattice? I had B/A and lift in June and it was a complete disaster.
