The surgeon must select the appropriate sized implant and make a large enough pocket. The size of the pocket is crucial. Extrusion may be more common when the operation is performed though the mouth. After surgery the patient must be careful to avoid injury to the site of surgery. Even under the best of circumstances extrusion can still occur.
Implant extrusion can occur any time from the first few days to several months after surgery.
If the implant is extruded it can be replaced. It is usually best to wait several months to allow the healing tissue to mature and the scar to soften before reimplanting. Request more information about cosmetic surgery home .
