Per our directions for use, each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: information for the patient¿ during her surgical consultation, it is the surgeons´ responsibility to ensure that the patient completely understands the information regarding the risks, benefits, and recommendations associated with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery, as well as the complications typical of any type of surgery.This document is available in motiva® website: ifu.Motiva.Health.The instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed, to determinate if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable for the section of surgical precautions as follows: bottoming out: this refers to the inferior displacement of a breast implant that increases the distance between the nipple-areolar complex and the inframammary fold (imf) after breast implant surgery.Risk factors reported in the literature are, but not limited to, the lack of quality of pre-existing breast tissue (i.E., thin subcutaneous tissue, defective dermal elements and breast tuberosity), characteristics of the selected breast implant (such as being overly large), imf dissection, and the type of implant placement during surgery (i.E., submuscular and subglandular planes).The clinical symptoms resulting from a bottomed-out implant include asymmetry, upward-pointing nipples, sagging, palpability, etc.Appropriate surgical planning can mitigate the possible causes of bottoming out.Recommendations include a careful and individual assessment of mammary tissues, careful implant selection, application of risk-minimizing surgical techniques, and adequate breast support after surgery.Treatments may vary depending on the severity of the complication and range from a simple sub-mammary fixation to the use of additional supporting materials.

General conclusion: device involvement: a causal relationship between the reported event and the device has been established.Clinical confirmation: upon thorough evaluation of the submitted clinical documentation and supporting evidence, bottoming out was not confirmed by clinical affairs.Root cause analysis: this event is a well-documented complication inherent to breast implant surgery.Based on the analysis of the available data, including clinical findings and product traceability records, there is no evidence indicating a causal link between this specific case and any product-related factors, including raw materials or manufacturing processes.The etiology of the alleged event is recognized as multifactorial, given the absence of manufacturing deviations or anomalies, and in line with current clinical literature, the event is considered not attributable to the manufacturing process and/or the product itself.Dfu and labeling evaluation: the event is a known, well-documented complication associated with silicone breast implants.It is clearly addressed in the product¿s directions for use (dfu), which states: bottoming out: this refers to the inferior displacement of a breast implant that increases the distance between the nipple-areolar complex and the inframammary fold (imf) after breast-implant surgery.Risk factors reported in the literature are, but not limited to, the lack of quality of pre-existing breast tissue (i.E., thin subcutaneous tissue, defective dermal elements and breast tuberosity), characteristics of the selected breast implant (such as being overly large), imf dissection, and the type of implant placement during surgery (i.E., submuscular and subglandular planes).The dfu also emphasizes the responsibility of the surgeon to fully inform the patient of potential risks and complications during the pre-operative consultation.Patients are provided with the document ¿motiva implants®: information for the patient,¿ accessible at ifu.Motiva.Health.Literature reference: handel, n., garcía, m.E., & wixtrom, r.(2013).Breast implant rupture: causes, incidence, clinical impact, and management.Plast.Reconstr.Surg.132(5), 1128.Bottoming out: mañero, ivan m.D.; montull, patricia m.D.; guisantes, eva m.D.Bottoming out: a simple technique for correcting breast implant displacement.Plastic and reconstructive surgery: december 2009 - volume 124 - issue 6 - p 452e-453e device history record (dhr) review a comprehensive review of the device history record (dhr) for the affected lot was completed.No deviations, non-conformances, or anomalies were identified during manufacturing.All raw materials and process parameters conformed to specified quality requirements.Trend and signal monitoring: the event has been evaluated as part of ongoing trend analysis activities within the pms program.Per the current complaint data report: no adverse or unexpected trends related to device rupture have been identified.No further corrective or preventive actions are required at this time.Establishment labs will continue to monitor for similar events as part of routine pms surveillance.
