Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On october 12, 2023, mentor became aware that the patient also experienced bilateral breast ptosis with waterfall deformity in addition to right side deflation, and underwent bilateral replacement surgery with catalog number 3505535bc; serial number (b)(6) on the right side, and with catalog number 3505535bc; serial number (b)(6) on the left side on (b)(6) 2023.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: right deflation, and breast ptosis this supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Left side complication is being reported separately.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On october 26, 2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On october 31, 2023, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation with approximately 13.0 cm of tubing attached to the implant, the connector was not returned and the injection reservoir was received separately.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the spec smooth rnd 525cc breast implant had a crease/fold extended from the anterior to the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.A microscopic examination was performed, and instrument damage was not found at the edges of the tear.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture was consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in deflation at a later time.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Some breast ptosis is a normal component of the mature breast.Ptosis becomes undesirable when the breast parenchyma predominates below the areola, droops considerably below the inframammary fold and the nipple points downward.Augmentation alone, without consideration of the ptosis, can produce a less than desirable cosmetic result known as a "rock in sock" deformity or an increased ptotic appearance.Ptosis is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.This supplemental medwatch report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
