It was reported that a patient underwent a primary breast augmentation surgery with implantation of a 250cc mentor memorygel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient fell and was reported to have experienced bilaterally ruptured breast implants.A consultation with a medical professional has been conducted, however, at the time of this report, mentor has received no information regarding explantation or an expected explantation date.The date of implantation was provided to mentor as a best estimate.Mentor became aware that a discrepancy was observed when the information reported included a date of implantation that occurred prior to the manufacturing date of the breast implant.As this is not possible, mentor associates are reaching out for further information.Follow-ups are being conducted.If more information becomes available, mentor will submit a supplemental report accordingly.Refer to manufacturing report number 1645337-2024-04509 for the contralateral event.
