Can a doctor put in a different implant style than what was written and agreed upon?

If you and your surgeon agreed on a specific implant and your consent forms include only that implant then it should have been the one used unless it states that alternatives can be used. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns for clarification.

Your doctor might have switched the implants because your requested implants were on backorder, were not ordered, or he did not have the right size. You may like these even better. The gummy bears are firmer and not as natural feeling, especially as you age. I am not a fan and the women I have changed preferred the softer implants to the gummy bear. Please discuss any concerns your have with your surgeon.

I have not heard that the SCX implants are only used for cancer patients. That said, if all of your communication with your doctor and your consent forms, have you requesting a specific style and size implant, that should’ve been what you received. If you have a good repport with your plastic surgeon, ask if they would be willing to do a simple exchange and so you can receive the implant that you wished for.
