2. Provide perioperative antibiotics through your IV to minimize risk of infection.

5. Use of anatomic landmarks for pectoralis muscle release in order to ensure symmetric release of muscles and subsequent symmetry of proposed breast implant pocket position.
6. Use of non-powdered gloves as well as irrigation of surgeon’s gloves with antibiotics solution to avoid all irritants that could cause capsular contracture.
7. Use of antibiotic solution to irrigate the surgical breast pocket and breast implants in addition to the surgeon’s gloves to minimize risk of infection.
8. Use of minimal touch technique when handling breast implant replacements prior to implantation.
9. Use of sterile breast implant sizers prior to committing you to your final replacement implants.
10. Maintaining an array of breast implant sizes and shapes on consignment at our surgery center so that adjustments in size can be considered during your operation should unexpected intraoperative findings be made.
11. Placement of specialized breast garment, i.e. breast band, which ensures maintenance of breast implant position and avoid implant malposition.

3. Provide you with generous bandages and garments that won’t have to be replaced until you dispense with them at your first postoperative visit.
