It was reported that a patient underwent a breast augmentation revision surgery with implantation of an 800cc mentor memorygel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient experienced drainage/discharge from the incisional sites of both breasts.During a physical exam with a medical professional, the fluid of the right breast was described as gelatinous drainage while the left was a clear liquid.The right fluid was determined to be serous fluid.As a result, the patient underwent revision of the bilateral breasts for evaluation on (b)(6) 2025.During the exploratory surgery, the patient was discovered to have a ruptured right breast implant with seeping silicone and no problems were observed with the left implant.As a result, the right breast implant was replaced with an 800cc mentor memorygel breast implant without replacement of the left.Wound cultures were taken from both breasts to rule out any impending infections.Culture results indicated there was bacterial growth of the left sample without growth from the right.This report is for the left breast prosthesis. .
