On 08-jul-2025, mentor received additional information about the event: - it was reported that the patient suffered from bilateral baker grade iii capsular contracture.Only left breast capsular contracture was reported previously.This medwatch report is for the patient¿s left breast prosthesis.Refer to manufacturer report number 1645337-2025-08199 for the report for the patient¿s right breast prosthesis.- the patient¿s left breast prosthesis rotated.- the suspect medical device was discarded following explant surgery.On 22-jul-2025, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.The investigation was completed on a photo of the suspect medical device because the physical device has not been received by mentor.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient and developed capsular contracture and experienced rotation of the breast implant.Upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.As the product involved in this complaint was discarded, the device could not be analyzed according to our procedures.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.Implant displacement/migration 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
