We talk to Dr Ingrid Hopper from the ABDR (
Australian Breast Device Registry) and Dr Gillian Farrell, Plastic Surgeon, about why it’s so important to make sure your details are included in the ABDR. Recommencement of some elective surgery this week is a timely reminder for anyone considering, or preparing for breast implant surgery, to make sure your surgeon includes you in the registry. This registry has the purpose of monitoring and tracking the long-term safety and performance of implants, tissue expanders and dermal mesh used in breast procedures.
