    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Mammary prostheses are utilized for breast augmentation.
    • Initial applications focused on increasing breast volume in hypoplastic or hypotrophic breasts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of mammary prostheses.
    • To identify patient characteristics associated with favorable outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of over 200 patients undergoing mammary prosthesis implantation.
    • Follow-up periods ranged from two to ten years post-operation.

    Main Results:

    • Favorable results were predominantly observed in patients with congenital mammary hypoplasia.
    • Unfavorable outcomes were noted in cases of mammary hypotrophy secondary to hypertrophy, despite occasional patient satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate patient selection is paramount for successful mammary prosthesis implantation.
    • Implants should be reserved for cases where sustained favorable results exceeding six months are anticipated.
