Ten-year results from the Natrelle 410 anatomical form-stable silicone breast implant core study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Silicone breast implants have long been used for breast augmentation and reconstruction. During this time, these medical devices have gone through a number of modifications to improve their safety, quality, and clinical outcome performance.

Objectives

The authors conducted a 10-year study to determine the safety and effectiveness of Natrelle 410 silicone breast implants.

Methods

This prospective, multicenter study enrolled 941 subjects who were undergoing either augmentation, augmentation revision, reconstruction, or reconstruction revision. Data on complications, reoperations, explantations, and subject satisfaction were collected at annual clinic visits, and one-third of subjects underwent biennial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to screen for implant ru
