On january 14, 2025, mentor was notified that the patient underwent bilateral removal and replacement with 320cc (left-sided) and 340cc (right-sided) mentor memorygel boost breast implants during the revision surgery.Additionally, the patient was found to have a fluid-filled cyst and fat necrosis of the right breast.Excision of the material was performed.On january 21, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On january 27, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.During the visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the breast implant device.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.Necrosis may prevent or delay wound healing and require surgical correction, which may result in additional scarring and/or loss of tissue.Implant removal may also be necessary.Necrosis is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.A breast cyst is a fluid-filled sac within the breast.One breast can have one or more breast cysts.They are often described as round or oval lumps with distinct edges.Breast cysts are usually and typically do not require treatment, but they can be drained using fine needle aspiration if the cyst is large or uncomfortable.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
