I had implants about 14 years ago. One of them is starting to change shape, and they look less natural than before, and a little harder. The doctor has retired and no one has taken over his practice. I was a small B cup before. My body shape has changed so much over the last 14 years. I also thought that the implants were saline and that they were placed under the muscle. The scars are under my breasts in the crease. But I don't know anything for sure. How can I proceed?

Answer: Breast implant remove and replace It would be preferable to obtain a copy of your medical records. You have a few options. If the surgery was performed at a hospital, you may be able to get the records through the medical records department. If you can recall the manufacturer and in 1996 there were essentially only two: McGhan (=Inamed = Allergan) and Mentor (now J&J), you may be able to call and see if they have any record of your implants. Sometimes neighboring practices take over the records and I would call around to local practices to ask. They may have some knowledge about who may have your records.

Answer: Breast augmentation secondary surgery without previous surgical information In a perfect world, it would be great to have the data: Previous operative report, implant registration with manufacturer, type, style, and size/fill of implant. Unfortunately, we often can not get this information.
