On september 30, 2024, mentor was notified that the patient underwent bilateral removal and replacement with 375cc mentor smooth round moderate profile saline breast implants during the revision surgery.On october 10, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On october 15, 2024, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it identified a tear within the crease/fold measuring approximately 0.1 cm.No other leak sites were found during the analysis.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
