Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction

The upward trend of patients opting for elective breast augmentation, as well as the large number of patients benefiting from alloplastic breast reconstruction, require further studies on the safety profile of these techniques. Without any doubt, the incidence of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has drawn attention to the possible unknown complications characteristic of these procedures, creating the context of further studies devoted to this issue. The present research examines the capsular contracture rate on a group of 253 patients between 2015 and 2019, also proposing a scoring system based on the integration of the main diagnostic criteria related to the capsular contracture. The results of the literature review indicate that a lower incidence of capsular contracture could be achieved by using the newest techniques in the field involving the application of chemical substances on the surface of the latest generation of silicone breast implants.

Retrospective Clinical Study

Abstract Background Silicone breast implants have been widely used for breast augmentation and reconstruction. During this time, silicone breast implants have undergone several modifications to improve their safety, quality, and clinical performance. Complications such as reoperation, capsular contracture, and rupture are risks often associated with breast implants. Objectives The authors conducted a retrospective study to analyze and report complication rates associated with Eurosilicone’s (Eurosilicone S.A.S, Apt, Cedex, France) silicone gel–filled breast implants over a period of 5 years. Methods In this retrospective clinical study, 2151 women who underwent either breast augmentation or breast reconstruction with Eurosilicone breast implants were diagnosed. Data on early and late complications including implant removal (explantation/exchange), capsular contracture, and rupture were collected using questionnaires, completed by 39 surgeons across Italy. Results Of the 2151, only 60 patients (2.78%) required implant removal. Twenty-five patients experienced capsular contracture (Baker Grade III/IV), giving an actual rate of 1.2%. The actual rate of implant rupture confirmed by breast magnetic resonance images was 0.18% (4 implants). Six patients (0.27%) were diagnosed with breast cancer following breast augmentation, and local complications including hematoma (1 patient) and seroma (2 patients) were experienced. Conclusions This retrospective clinical study involving Eurosilicone’s round and anatomical textured silicone gel–filled mammary implants demonstrates an excellent safety profile through 5 years. Level of Evidence: 2
