How Does Forearm Implant Surgery Work?

During the forearm implant procedure, an incision is made, followed by the creation of a pocket of sufficient size to accommodate a custom solid silicone implant. This implant is then carefully inserted into the pocket and positioned precisely within the soft tissue. Over time, as the area heals, the surrounding muscle and fat contribute to securing the implant in place. Subsequently, the incision is closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied to alleviate swelling and discomfort. Post-surgery, patients typically witness immediate results, with a small dressing applied to the incision site.
