What are the risks for late-term complications or infections of Penuma?

Question

Is the Penuma very safe and effective even decades later of having the surgery? Do a lot of patients have to have the surgery reversed due to infections etc?

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

The risks with implant include infection, bad scars potentially, nerve damage possibly, and extrusion of the implant.  Some of these are treatable and reversible.  Others are not.  I highly recommend fat transfer.  It is much more safe.
