Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a 38-year-old caucasian female patient underwent a breast reconstruction surgery with implantation of a 775cc mentor memoryshape breast implant gel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient experienced discomfort of the left breast.Using magnetic resonance imaging the patient was diagnosed with a ruptured left breast implant.Additionally, she was diagnosed with bilateral contour irregularities and animation problems of her breasts.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral removal and replacement with 320cc mentor memorygel boost breast implant on (b)(6) 2023.This report is for the left breast prosthesis.Refer to manufacturing report number 1645337-2023-03032 for the contralateral event.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 17, 2023, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 4.0 cm.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
