    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Breast augmentation using the Même implant shows promising results, with no patients developing spherical capsules or palpable edges. Further research is needed, but early outcomes suggest a potential solution for capsule formation.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Capsular contracture is a common complication following breast augmentation.
    • The Même implant is a novel device introduced in 1981.
    • Previous implants have had varying rates of capsular contracture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the early outcomes of the Même implant in breast augmentation.
    • To assess the incidence of capsular contracture with the Même implant.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 81 patients who underwent breast augmentation with the Même implant.
    • Follow-up data collected since November 1981.
    • Clinical assessment for spherical capsules and palpable edges.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Eighty-one patients received the Même implant.
    • No cases of spherical capsules were observed.
    • No palpable edges were detected in any patient.

    Conclusions:

    • The Même implant demonstrates encouraging initial results regarding capsular contracture.
    • The underlying reasons for the absence of capsular issues remain undetermined.
    • Long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm the efficacy of the Même implant.
