Should the same implant be used for a breast implant revision?

September 14, 2022
Asked By:Friendly453550 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Had a revision to my left breast done in 2017 changing the placement from under the muscle to over the muscle. Should a Dr use the same original implant or swap out for a new one in the case of revisions?
