    This study introduces a novel reverse double-lumen breast implant. The new design enhances prosthesis comfort and adjustability, while enabling medication delivery within the implant.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Medical Device Innovation

    Background:

    • Traditional double-lumen implants often face challenges with outer shell wrinkling.
    • Maintaining volume adjustability and achieving a natural breast contour are key goals in implant design.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel reverse double-lumen breast implant.
    • To assess the benefits of the new design, including improved aesthetics and functionality.
    • To explore the potential for integrated medication delivery within the implant.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a reverse double-lumen implant featuring an outer gel lumen and an inflatable inner lumen.
    • Clinical evaluation of the implant's performance over a three-year period.
