Summary

Patients accept higher breast implant-associated lymphoma risk for reduced capsular contracture and teardrop shape. This willingness varies across reconstruction and augmentation groups, highlighting patient preferences in implant choices.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Medical Device Research

Background:

  • Breast implants feature smooth or textured surfaces.
  • Textured implants carry a higher risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) but may reduce capsular contracture (CC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify patient willingness to accept increased BIA-ALCL risk for potential benefits of textured implants.
  • To assess how different patient cohorts perceive the risk-benefit trade-off of textured breast implants.

Main Methods:

  • A threshold technique survey was administered to 405 participants across four distinct cohorts.
  • Cohorts included patients considering or having undergone breast reconstruction, and individuals considering or having undergone breast augmentation.

Main Results:

  • Respondents were willing to accept an average increase in BIA-ALCL risk ranging from 0.60% to 0.85% for textured implants.
  • Willingness to accept higher BIA-ALCL risk was associated with the potential for reduced CC and the availability of a teardrop-shaped implant option.

Conclusions:

  • Patient willingness to accept higher BIA-ALCL risk is linked to the perceived benefits of reduced CC and aesthetic options.
  • Patient perspectives are crucial for informing regulatory decisions and clinical practices regarding breast implant choices.
