It was reported that a 635cc mentor memorygel boost breast implant being used in a breast reconstruction revision was found to have a large crease across the shell during the operation.The surgeon was using breast prosthesis as a sizer and inserting the breast prosthesis with force into the breast pocket.The breast prosthesis was pushed from side to side into the incision.The retractor was also in the incision when inserting the breast prothesis.The surgeon noticed upon removing the breast prosthesis from the pocket that it was possibly fractured on the inside.There was a large crease running across the shell, however, the shell was intact, and no rupture was visible.No adverse event was experienced by the patient.The surgeon used backup devices, and there were no reported patient consequences or procedural delays.
