Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient who underwent a breast augmentation revision procedure with unspecified mentor breast prostheses developed baker grade iii capsular contracture in her left breast post implantation.The capsular contracture was diagnosed by a healthcare professional.Additionally, the patient developed ptosis in both breasts.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral explantation and replacement with a mentor memorygel boost breast implant 340cc gel breast prosthesis and a mentor memorygel boost breast implant 290cc gel breast prosthesis on (b)(6) 2025.This medwatch report is for the patient¿s right breast prosthesis.Refer to manufacturer report number 1645337-2025-00092 for the report for the patient¿s left breast prosthesis.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 06-mar-2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.The mentor failure analysis lab became aware that the suspect medical device is a mentor memorygel breast implant 400cc gel breast prosthesis, catalog #3507400bc, lot #5827810, pma #p030053.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.On 21-mar-2025, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced breast ptosis.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.Some breast ptosis is a normal component of the mature breast.Ptosis becomes undesirable when the breast parenchyma predominates below the areola, droops considerably below the inframammary fold and the nipple points downward.Augmentation alone, without consideration of the ptosis, can produce a less than desirable cosmetic result known as a "rock in sock" deformity or an increased ptotic appearance.Ptosis is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.As part of mentor's quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released according to approved specifications.Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that the product met the manufacturing release criteria: since no malfunction was observed during the investigation.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.D4: udi: as the serial number for the device involved in the event was not provided, the full udi is currently not available.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
