Technique for magnet replacement in silicone facial prostheses.
Magnets are often used in silicone facial prostheses for retention. However, these magnets may need to be replaced or repositioned as a result of loss, wear, or poor initial placement. Replacement can be easily accomplished by use of a nylon mesh material and a simple laboratory technique.
