Comparing International Revision Incidence of Commonly Used Breast Implants.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Despite the widespread use of breast implants, to date, no large-scale international studies on long-term revision incidence of different implant types have been conducted.

Objective

To determine whether international data could be combined using a harmonized dataset to increase power and investigate clinically relevant differences in complication-related revision incidence between breast implant types.
