Which complications sometimes require surgery and/or implant removal?

Both infection and hematoma require re-operation. With a hematoma, the same implant is replaced at the time of surgery. With an infection, the implant is removed, and a new implant is not placed for at least 6 months. Most complications do not require re-operation, and will improve with time.
