On april 23 2014 i had a mommy make over on may 8th my implants were removed due to infection. I have an apointment sept 10th to have my implants put back in. I questioned if implants can be reused the nurse said they resterilize them immediately in an autoclave and that im not the first person they have reused implants on. Is this safe to do?

Answer: Reusing silicone breast implants 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.
