Episode notes
New Implant Design Lowers Immune Reaction
- The Motiva implant offers a softer, more natural feel while avoiding typical rippling problems of other soft implants.
- Its shell has ultra-fine texturing that appears to provoke less immune reaction and lower capsular contracture rates.
How To Manage Recurrent Capsular Contracture
- For recurrent capsular contracture, remove the entire capsule, test for biofilm, and reimplant with strict sterile technique.
- Use pulse lavage, change gloves/instruments, place a new implant with a Keller funnel, and consider dissolvable mesh scaffolding like Galaflex.
When To Use Preserve Placement
- Preserve places implants through a balloon tunnel to preserve tissue instead of cutting to create a pocket.
- Choose Preserve only for patients with favorable anatomy and modest size goals to avoid malposition.
