Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent primary breast augmentation with two 375cc mentor memoryshape breast implants.Post-operatively, the patient was diagnosed, via mammogram, with right breast implant rupture.As a result, the patient has been scheduled for breast implant removal surgery on (b)(6) 2025.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On june 23, 2025, mentor received additional information which indicated that the patient was also diagnosed with bilateral undesired breast implants with right breast implant rupture and breast ptosis.The patient underwent bilateral breast implant exchange with mastopexy.The replacement devices were non-mentor devices.On july 9, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On july 14, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have an area of missing material on the posterior view, measuring approximately 4.0 cm x 1.0 cm.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the missing material could not be identified.Mentor also performed a manufacturing record evaluation related to the reported complaint for the finished device lot number.No manufacturing non-conformances were identified as part of this evaluation.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation but is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implant to rupture: stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.This medwatch form is for the right breast prosthesis.Complication on the left breast will be reported under mrn: 1645337-2025-07839.
