No hate to my doctor, I think he must have just not understood that I was asking for Natrelle Inspira Highly Cohesive (which is what I specifically wrote on all my signed forms). As it turns out, I just received my implant cards & he actually put in the Softtouch (SSX) rather than the Highly Cohesive (SCX) that I asked for. We had verbally agreed I’d be switching to “the gummiest, firmest implant on the market.” Are the Highly Cohesive (SCX) really only used for cancer patients? Confused.

Answer: Implant selection and breach of contract Your question is more of a legal question than a medical one. If you were legally consented for a specific type of implant and a different implant was used then you may have a breach of contract. Potentially this could include operating without consent. If The final decision was left up to your doctor or this was not in writing when you probably don’t have strong legal grounds. I suggest you start by talking to your surgeon about what was discussed, agreed upon and the final decision. If you’re content with the outcome, then maybe that should speak for itself.Personally, I don’t think the most cohesive implants are at all ideal. They tend to be really firm and remember that not too long ago. All implants were liquid. There are no absolute in regards to implant selection. If you want to get a better understanding of the legality, then you need to talk to legal experts. If you had very specific concerns about what implants were used, then this should’ve been discussed before or on the day of surgery. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
