Event or Problem Description
A female patient who underwent a breast augmentation revision with mentor memorygel boost 480cc on the right, and 430cc on the left silicone prosthesis experienced right sided silent rupture, and left side device migration and bubbles post operation.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral capsulectomies and bilateral replacements per following: l) ref: smpb530 sn: (b)(6), r) ref: smpb530 sn: (b)(6) on (b)(6) 2025.This report relates to the left side.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation completed on january 26, 2026: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that some bubbles were observed within the gel.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no gel exposures were detected during the analysis.The shell wall of the implant is permeable to air, and trapped air can form bubbles with changes in pressure or temperature.When left by themselves with no changes in temperature or pressure, bubbles usually dissipate over time unless trapped by cured gel.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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
