The event of inflammation, inadequate tissue ingrowth, exposure and drainage are physiological complications, and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for these events.The physician discarded the device when it was explanted and it is no longer available for return.Therefore, allergan will not receive the device and no analysis or testing will be done.
