The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
it's actually a common complication yeah it's about 3% I've learned I think it could be even higher depending on the type of implant in the placement so those are things that surgeons we should be saying to every patient that the 3% is a you know relatively high rate yeah and you're right it could be I mean it depends on the implant so if you're using the different textured implants it could be as high as 5%
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I mean 5% complication is is really high right one in 20 people who do this is going to have this
traditionally saline have a lower complication rate closer to 2% the silicone have a higher complication rate
the incidence is anywhere from 2 to 8 percent
it varies based on the surgeon it varies based on the implant type
