    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Context:

    • The use of breast implants has undergone significant changes due to the silicone implant controversy.
    • Regulatory decisions and market re-entry have created a complex landscape for available implant types.

    Purpose:

    • To review the current status and challenges associated with various breast implant technologies.
    • To highlight the limitations of existing options and the need for advanced solutions.

    Summary:

    • Silicone implants, despite international studies refuting safety concerns, are restricted in some regions.
    • Polyurethane implants were cleared but not remarketed, while hydrogel implants faced suspension due to regulatory issues.
    • Saline implants are used in France but have a notable reoperation rate for deflation.
