As stated in literature: ¿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).Per our directions for use, each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: seroma: "seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Having a hematoma and/or seroma following surgery may result in a future infection and/ or capsular contracture.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, this 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 temporary surgical drain in the wound for proper healing.A small scar can result from surgical draining.Implant rupture can also occur from surgical draining if there is damage to the implant during the draining procedure".Implant removal: "patients should be advised that implants are not considered lifetime devices, and they will potentially undergo implant removal, with or without replacement, throughout their life.Patients should also be advised that the changes to their breasts following explantation might be irreversible".In addition, a review of the device history record was conducted, and it was concluded that there were no deviations in the manufacturing process of this device that would have caused or contributed to this incident.
