Palpability is a reason for complaints, and it is clearly characterized in the product dfu included with the implant, as stated above.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: ¿visibility and palpability of the implant can occur because the envelope is thin due to several causes, including excessive volume, the implant¿s content not being cohesive, or previous surgery and cutaneous aging.If the implant is fitted in a subglandular pocket, a change to a submuscular pocket is needed.The implant volume should be reduced, and it should be ensured that the content is a cohesive gel¿."unsatisfactory results such as wrinkling, asymmetry, implant displacement/ migration, incorrect size, implant palpability/visibility, scar deformity, and/or hypertrophic scarring, may occur.Some of these results may cause discomfort.Pre-existing asymmetry may not be entirely correctable by implant surgery.Revision surgery could be indicated to increase patient satisfaction, but this involves additional considerations and risks.Careful preoperative planning and surgical technique can minimize but not always prevent unsatisfactory results." also, a complete review of the dhr's was carried out, no deviation was found in the process, so it is established that there is no evidence of a relationship between the event and the manufacturing process.
