    Textured breast implants do not significantly reduce malposition compared to smooth implants, despite widespread use. This systematic review found no statistical superiority for textured devices in preventing implant malposition.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Evidence-Based Medicine

    Background:

    • Silicone implants are widely used for cosmetic augmentation and breast reconstruction.
    • Limited evidence exists on the efficacy of textured implants in reducing implant malposition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review and meta-analyze data on textured versus smooth breast implants regarding malposition.
    • To assess secondary outcomes including capsular contracture, rippling, seroma, and infection.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic literature search of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science.
    • Inclusion of cohort studies comparing textured and non-textured implants.
    • Meta-analysis of primary outcome (malposition) and secondary outcomes.

    Endoscopic Bilateral Nipple-sparing Mastectomy via a Single Axillary Incision with Immediate Pre-pectoral Implant-based Breast Reconstruction

    Published on: May 17, 2024

    Main Results:

    • Nine studies with 3240 patients were included.
    • Malposition rates were 5.2% (textured) and 8.9% (smooth), with no statistically significant difference.
    • No significant differences in capsular contracture, seroma, or rippling; higher infection rates in textured group (inconsistent).

    Conclusions:

    • Textured breast implants show no statistically significant advantage over smooth implants in reducing malposition.
    • Further research is needed due to study heterogeneity and retrospective designs.
    • No cases of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma were reported.
