How many implants do you order for surgery?

Asked By:RRRRRRRRRRRRR in Vancouver, Washington

Is it common for most plastic surgeons to have a back up set of implants? What would happen if one of the implants was to get accidentally contaminated or worse? Would the surgeon have another set so the surgery would be completed in case there was some type of accident? I am going in for replacement soon just want to have idea of what would happen or is this just so rare no need for backup plan?
