Permanent Sutures for Bottomed out Correction?

imnyc
From my research, most doctors will use permanent sutures to correct bottomed out Breast implants in order to have a "lasting" result. What kind of permanent sutures do you usually use? Prolene, nylon, or gore-tex? From your experience, have you seen patients reject these sutures when placed internally and have foreign body reactions to them since the body cannot break down the sutures, and therefore lead to the failure of the repair?
