Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been requested.No additional information is available at this time.A review of the device history record has been completed.No deviations or non-conformances noted device labeling addresses: potential adverse events that may occur with saline-filled breast implant surgery include: reoperation, pain, wrinkling, asymmetry, implant palpability/visibility, implant removal, capsular contracture, changes in nipple and breast sensation, implant displacement/migration, implant deflation, scarring, infection, hematoma/seroma, breastfeeding complications, implant extrusion, necrosis, delayed wound healing, breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity, calcium deposits, and lymphadenopathy.Deflation- breast implants are not lifetime devices.Saline breast implants deflate when the shell develops a tear or hole.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but they are more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implants to deflate: damage by surgical instruments; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G., during closed capsulotomy, which is contraindicated); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Laboratory studies have identified some of the causes of deflation for allergan¿s product; however, it is not conclusively known whether these tests have identified all causes of deflation.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation: visual analysis of the returned device identified: an opening, black and yellow particles, and a crease fold.A leak test was performed and found an opening on the posterior side.A microscopic analysis was performed which identified a striated edge opening, consistent with use of a surgical tool, and a sharp edge opening assessed as an unidentified tear opening.A dimension measurement in the shell was performed which identified the thickness was within specification.The fill test inspection was performed and the result was no blockage.Based on the device analysis the final assessment is: a striated edge opening on the posterior side due to surgical damage, and a sharp opening on the anterior side due to an unidentified (tear) opening.
