Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study of Implant Age, Pocket Plane, Incision, Surface Texture, and Volume as Predictors of Breast Implant Rupture

Kurzzusammenfassung

This prospective dynamic cohort will follow women with intact aesthetic silicone breast implants to evaluate predictors of rupture. Implant age, pocket plane, incision route, surface texture, and volume will be recorded, and participants will undergo annual clinical and imaging surveillance for up to five years. Confirmed rupture will require MRI or operative evidence. Delayed-entry survival models will estimate the independent association of implant and surgical characteristics with rupture risk.
