Dear nikepaws,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

I think these are all issues you need to work out with your provider.

Medpore implants are porous and allow it in growth of soft tissue. This makes them challenging to remove and if you’re going to have your implant exchanged I suggest moving on that sooner rather than later.

Typically surgeons use temporary Sizer‘s during surgery before committing to the finals last implant but everybody does this their own way.

All implants including medpore can be shaped and adjusted for a more custom fit if needed.

Follow up with your provider.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
