ove the ability to contour the implant. Remove implant from the hot saline and contour to the desired shape. If there is too much resistance, return implant to hot saline. Allow the implant to pletely to maintain achieved shape. Cold, sterile saline can accelerate the cooling process. Reheat the implant as necessary to achieve the final form desired. Contouring Stabilize the implant with screws, tacks, wire or suture as desired. When using screws, tighten sufficiently press the implant to the bone and minimize screw profile. Make any final modifications in situ. Feather the edges of the implant to create a smooth transition and minimize palpability. Caution: Take care to remove all carved debris from the sur- gical site.
