Reuse of Sientra implants?

I had a breast implant revision last Aug ‘23 bc of right breast rupture. A Board Cert Surgeon removed both saline implants and replaced them w/ new Sientra gummy implants. My right was malpositioned so we did a 6 mo revision this past week. I was told next day that he removed the implant, fixed the pocket and re-inserted the same implant. Is this ok? Manual says single use only?

Procedure: Breast Implant Revision
Location: Boston, MA

Reusing the implant is ok specially if it’s only 6 months from original surgery. It does not do anything to the warranty.

Nothing wrong with that.
