Published on: May 17, 2024

  • Analysis of clinical outcomes and adverse event data.
  • Discussion of current controversies and challenges in breast implant technology and patient care.

    • Main Results:

    • Capsular contracture remains a significant complication.
    • Implant leakage and rupture are identified risks.
    • Potential links to systemic diseases and breast cancer require ongoing investigation.
    • Recalls and issues with specific implant brands (e.g., Poly Implant Prothese) underscore manufacturing and regulatory concerns.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient safety in augmentation mammaplasty requires careful consideration of implant-related risks.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand long-term systemic effects and oncological implications.
    • Enhanced monitoring and regulatory oversight are essential for managing breast implant safety.
