Procedure:

Secondary breast implant surgery aims to restore a breast to near normal shape, appearance and size following problems occuring after previous implant surgery. Cases can include capsular contracture, when the collagen-fiber capsule that normally forms around an implant tightens and squeezes the breast implant and/or when an implant fails (leaks or ruptures).

Details:
