A female patient had bilateral mastectomy followed by immediate single stage, bilateral breast reconstruction with 320cc textured, silicone gel breast implants.Meso biomatrix was implanted in each breast.Approximately 2 months later, the left breast was observed to have 'thin skin.' she was started on intravenous antibiotics and the thin skin was excised and closed.On the following day, the wound was reportedly healing.However, 4 days later, the left breast wound dehisced and the implant was visible.The right breast also had an infected appearance.The patient decided to have both implants removed.So that same day, the implants and meso biomatrix were removed bilaterally.At the time of explantation, the surgeon noted the meso biomatrix to be thin and barely recognizable.Intravenous antibiotics were continued for 24 hours, followed by oral antibiotics for 5 days.The dehiscence were reported to have resolved.
