As stated in the literature:
"extrusion represents potential complications associated with the use of breast implants, it involves the implant coming through the skin, normally through the incision where it¿s been placed.Extrusion can happen for several reasons, such as the skin over the implant thinned too much leaving too little coverage for the implant, the implant used is too large, the incision did not heal well and broke open.Implant exposure due to poor tissue coverage frequently obligates the surgeon to remove the breast implant and begin anew (gargano, ciminello & de santis, 2009)".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:
extrusion:
"breast implant extrusion, or breast implant exposure, occurs when the breast skin and tissues that are holding the implant fail, causing the implant to protrude through the skin and become exposed.It happens in less than 2% of patients; it is shortly after breast augmentation or down the road.Breast implant extrusion can occur for various reasons, such as improper wound healing due to an infection, trauma, too little soft-tissue coverage, oversized implant coupled with too little tissue coverage, or lack of blood supply.Breast-implant extrusion calls for surgery and removal of the implant".In addition, a review of the device history record was conducted, and it was concluded that there were no deviations in the manufacturing process of this device that would have caused or contributed to this incident".
