Implant reconstruction is based on a two staged procedure, initiated by placement of a tissue expander, followed by replacement with a permanent implant. Both silicone and saline implants have been approved for placement in the postmastectomy reconstruction patients. There remains a paucity of data ...
1 In Europe, silicone breast implants are still the preferred implants for cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, whereas in the United States saline implants have been standard since 1992, when the use of silicone gel implants was restricted to patients enrolled in clinical trials.2 Rupture ...
" according to Dr. Clemens. The researchers analyzed data on nearly 100,000 patients enrolled in the LPAS between 2007 and 2009-10. More than 80,000 patients receivedsilicone implants; the rest received implants filled with sterile saline solution....

Capsular Contracture with Breast Implants in the Cosmetic Patient: Saline versus Silicone–A Systematic Review of the Literature Background: Capsular contracture is one of the most common and trying complications associated with the placement of breast prostheses. The authors hypothesized that silicone im...
For now, Rohrich said, women considering breast implants should fully discuss the pros and cons with their doctor, whether they're getting silicone or saline-filled implants. There are plenty of known risks. According to the FDA, they include breast pain, capsular contracture—a hardening of the...
(3) directly 3D printable. The main focus of this study is to determine whether the purity, composition, structure, dimensions and mechanical properties of silicone implants are affected by the use of a custom-made in-house 3D-printer. We have used the phosphate buffer saline (PBS) absorption...

This study showed that the 410 implant (Allergan Inc) had the stiffest gel, representing the highest cohesivity versus the CPG implant (Mentor).27 In a separate study, the Sientra form-stable implant was the least cohesive compared with both CPG and 410 implants. Note that cohesivity is ...
implants can cause inflammation, leading to tumorigenesis and the development of T-cell lymphoma [166,171,172]. More lymphocytes have been observed to attach to textured implants versus smooth surface implants and a positive link has been found between bacterial growth and lymphocytes attached to ...
