Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Mammary implant extrusion is a known complication in breast augmentation and reconstruction.
Current management strategies often involve delayed revision surgery.

Observation:

The authors developed and tested a technique for immediate prosthesis management.
This involves the removal and same-day reinsertion of the mammary implant.

Findings:

The presented approach addresses mammary implant extrusion effectively.
Successful outcomes were observed in five cases utilizing this method.

Implications:

This technique may offer a streamlined solution for managing implant extrusion.
Further research could validate its broader applicability and long-term efficacy.
