The most common overall indication for reoperation is capsular contracture.(handel, 2006).Breast prostheses are no different from any foreign material implanted into the human body in the sense of triggering a protective immune reaction from the host.This ¿foreign body response¿ (fbr) is universal and ideally removes or otherwise surrounds the ¿irritant material¿ with fibrous tissue to prevent unwanted immune sequelae.A capsule around a breast implant is, therefore, a necessary mechanism of body defense, but if excessive it can lead to pain and deformity of the breast (steiert, et al., 2013).¿early seroma formation is defined as periprosthetic fluid accumulation within the first postoperative year, whereas the late form is any moment beyond that time.¿ (sforza, et al.2017).Some analysis have revealed that the pocket plays a significant role in developing seroma, patients with submammary pocket developed seroma in higher rates when compared with patients with submuscular pocket.Submammary pocket increases the odds of developing seroma by 7.5 times.(sforza, et al.2017).Per our directions for use, each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: information for the patient¿ during her surgical consultation, it is the surgeons´ responsibility to ensure that the patient completely understands the information regarding the risks, benefits, and recommendations associated with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery, as well as the complications typical of any type of surgery.This document is available in motiva® website: ifu.Motiva.Health.The instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed to determine if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable on the section of surgical precautions as follows: capsular contracture occurs when the capsule tightens and squeezes the implant.This can cause the implant to turn rigid (from slightly firm to quite hard) and the firmest ones can cause varying degrees of discomfort, pain, and palpability.In addition to the firmness, capsular contracture can result in a deformed breast, visible surface wrinkling and/or displacement of the implant.Detection of breast cancer by mammography may also be a more difficult.Capsular contracture may be more common following infection, hematoma, and seroma, and the chance of it happening may increase over time.Capsular contracture is a risk factor for implant rupture, and it is the most common reason for reoperation in augmentation and reconstruction patients.Patients should also be advised that additional surgery might be needed in cases where pain and/or firmness are severe (baker grades iii or iv) and that capsular contracture may happen again after additional surgeries.Correction of capsular contracture may require surgical removal or release of the capsule, or removal and possible replacement of the implant itself." "hematoma/seroma: hematoma is a collection of blood within the space around the implant, and a seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Having a hematoma and/ or seroma following surgery may result in infection and/or capsular contracture later on.Symptoms from a hematoma or seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.If a hematoma or seroma occurs, it will usually be soon after surgery.However, they can also occur at any time after injury to the breast.While the body absorbs small hematomas and seromas, some will require surgery, typically involving draining, and potentially placing a surgical drain in the wound temporarily for proper healing.A small scar can result from surgical draining.Implant rupture also can occur from surgical draining if there is damage to the implant during the procedure." seroma is an accumulation of fluid that results from tissue inflammation.The etiology of seroma is known in breast surgery and is connected to a hypovascular milieu or trauma following the surgery.General conclusion: the alleged capsular contracture baker grade iii/iv and early seroma were confirmed according to the clinical evidence provided.The causes are multifactorial and consisting of patient, type of surgery, prosthetic material used, the implant pocket placement, the incision type and the duration of follow-ups.These events are risks associated with breast augmentation surgery; there is no evidence to suggest a relationship of the implant and/or the manufacturing process with an increased risk of occurrence.

Patient underwent primary breast augmentation on (b)(6) 2024 with periprosthetic seroma 7 weeks after surgery, subsequent leakage of fluid from the surgical wound, which gradually subsides.Subsequently, she developed painful capsular contracture grade iii-iv, reason for which the capsule and implant were removed at 12 weeks ((b)(6) 2024; 8 months after the removal of the implant it was decided to place the implant again.No patients demographics, such as age, weight, or ethnicity, were provided by the reporter, and no adverse outcomes for the patients have been noted.Efforts to gather additional information are ongoing, and the investigation remains in progress.
