보형물 파열 Implant Rupture

Over the past 20 years, breast augmentation has become increasingly popular for enhancing breast size and correcting asymmetry. Saline implants were initially used, followed by silicone implants and autologous fat transfer. However, complic…

[INTRODUCTION] Silicone Lymphadenopathy (SL) is a complication of breast implants that involves migration of silicone to nearby soft tissue/lymph nodes. Data on its clinical features and management is scarce. We aimed to identify the clinic…

[BACKGROUND] The 2021 ISAPS global survey shows a 49.6% rise in demand for breast implant explantation from 2017. The current challenge is to formulate a standardized technique of mastopexy after explantation, which counters the volume defi…

Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is a rare manifestation of silicone lymphadenopathy, a complication arising from breast implant rupture. We present a case of a 39-year-old woman with a history of bilateral breast augmentation using Poly Imp…

Breast implants (BIs) are commonly used in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery but are linked to several complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, and potential malignancies. The key to mitigating these issues is t…

[BACKGROUND] Humans show a preference for left or right handedness in most cases. For this reason, surgeons might find it more difficult to operate on the "nondominant breast", i.e. the breast opposite to the surgeon´s dominant hand (left b…

[BACKGROUND] The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends silicone breast implant rupture surveillance using MRI or ultrasound beginning at 5-6 years post-insertion and every 2-3 years thereafter. No surveillance guidelin…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the effectiveness of repeated breast reconstruction in cancer patients depending on complications after primary reconstruction. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] There were 117 patients who underwent primary one-stage breast r…

Silicone lymphadenopathy and granuloma formation can result from breast implants. A 71-year-old presented with implant rupture 30 years after a breast augmentation, causing left-sided silicone lymphadenopathy and extensive migration to the …

Given the prevalence of breast implants, healthcare providers treating women should be familiar with potential complications that may result from breast augmentation and implant-based reconstruction surgeries and the appropriate management …

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare lymphoma primarily linked to textured breast implants. Symptoms are often non-specific (e.g., breast swelling, pain, or fluid collection). When imaging detects fl…

[BACKGROUND] Silicone breast implant design has evolved over the last 50 years. Regulatory bodies including the FDA require data to support the modifications designed to improve the safety, efficacy, longevity, and biocompatibility of breas…

[BACKGROUND] The difficulty in obtaining long-term data with the use of breast implants is well known. The majority of available data are from multicenter studies with different surgical techniques, and different implants. [METHODS] The au…

[BACKGROUND] Silicone implants are by far the most widely used implant globally for breast augmentation. Despite technological advancements, complications persist, with silicone lymphadenopathy (siliconoma) being a noteworthy concern. This …

[BACKGROUND] Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) involves the infusion of a saline solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine into tissues to achieve localized anesthesia and vasoconstriction. While the use of TLA in sub-glandular augmentat…

Breast implant illness (BII) is a term used to describe a range of symptoms associated with silicone breast implants. This condition suggests that silicone may trigger symptoms in individuals who are immunologically predisposed, and the spe…

[BACKGROUND] Nanotextured implants, an innovation in implant technology, are designed to enhance tissue interaction, reduce inflammation, and mitigate complications of traditional implants. [OBJECTIVES] The aim of the study was to evaluate…

[RATIONALE] Complications associated with breast implants pose a significant obstacle to improving the quality of life for patients undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction. Due to the intricate nature of their presentation, diagnosis…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has been recognized as a distinct entity in the World Health Organization classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms. These neoplasms are causally related to textured implants that we…

Breast implant rupture is one of the most common complications in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, this problem is closely linked to capsular contracture. It is therefore crucially important to effectively and promptly rem…
