Safety and Performance of Postmarketing Breast Implants: An Integrated Review with Technovigilance Data.

: Breast implants are widely used in reconstructive surgeries, as well as in cosmetic procedures, to enhance or restore breast shape and volume. With advances in techniques and materials, these devices have become safer and more effective over the years. Nevertheless, complications such as capsular contracture, rupture, infections, or other types of malignancies (BIA-SCC). This study evaluated the postmarketing safety and performance of implants via technovigilance data and a review of scientific studies. : The research analyzed publications from the BVS, PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials databases from between 2007 and 2023 (15 years), in addition to reports registered in the Notivisa system during the same period. : A total of 113 studies were identified, 15 of which were selected for the final analysis, which revealed that capsular contracture, seroma, infection, and rupture were the most common complications. In the Notivisa system, 786 reports were found, including 397 technical complaints and 389 adverse events, with pain, infections, and lymphoma among the most frequently reported issues. : These findings highlight the importance of continuous surveillance to identify risks and promote improvements in the quality and safety of breast implants, ensuring patient well-being. As a practical contribution, a clinical decision-making algorithm was proposed to support healthcare professionals in the early identification and management of implant-related complications.
