4th revision - can one implant be placed in front of the muscle and leave the other behind?

November 5, 2023
Asked By:Leinaala P in Vancouver, Washington

I had a rupture of the right implant that I only noticed due to waking up to swelling up to my collar bone. I’ve had 3 revisions trying to fix it thru the same doctor but the implant keeps falling. She has used mesh twice and sutured to chest wall. It all has failed. Now she wants to put that one implant in front of muscle and leave the other behind. Is all this normal? Is it normal and is it going to look ok to have them in different spots?
