Retained Foreign Object after primary breast augmentation?

Here's how rare it is:
For anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants, the rotation rate is reported to be between 1% and 14%, but the average is around 1–5% depending on surgical technique, implant type, and pocket dissection.

For round implants, rotation isn’t a clinical issue, since the shape is symmetrical.
Factors that increase RFO risk:
Using anatomical implants (since rotation changes the shape)
Oversized implant pockets
Weak tissue support or thin breast tissue
Poor implant adhesion (some textured implants are more stable)
Early excessive arm movement or trauma post-op

You will 100% of the time have two retained foreign objects called breast implants. Other things like surgical instruments, blades and needles and will be counted and should not be retained.
