Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a primary breast augmentation surgery with implantation of a 375cc mentor memorygel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient experienced a left breast seroma with associated pain and swelling shortly after surgery.The seroma drained spontaneously through the left breast incision site; no surgical intervention was required.At a later time, the patient was diagnosed with baker grade iii (left breast) and ii (right breast) capsular contracture by a medical professional using the patient's symptoms.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral exchange with mentor gel implants on (b)(6) 2025.This report is for the left breast prosthesis.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On july 21, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On july 26, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the device.During visual evaluation, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed on the returned device.Some patients may experience a prolonged wound healing time.Delayed wound healing may increase the risk of infection, extrusion and necrosis.Depending on the type of surgery or the incision, wound healing times may vary.Delayed wound healing is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.A seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Symptoms from seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.A seroma may occur soon after surgery, or any time later on, which would be referred to as a late seroma.While the body may absorb seromas, some may require surgery for drainage.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
