Abstract
It is accepted that breast implants are generally not once-in-a-lifetime devices. With increasing numbers of women undergoing augmentation, there has been a steady increase in the number of reoperations being performed on patients desiring breast implants. It is important that any surgeon involved in the management of women undergoing aesthetic or reconstructive surgery with the use of breast implants become familiar with techniques used in secondary surgery. Common causes for reoperation include capsular contracture, implant malposition, asymmetry, longitudinal soft tissue changes, and implant change to newer generation devices. This chapter focuses on management of one of the most common indications for reoperation: implant malposition.
