BREAST IMPLANT RUPTURE

Course overview

BREAST AUGMENTATION IS A SURGICAL PROCEDURE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE SIZE OF THE PATIENT'S BREASTS, USING IMPLANTS (SALINE OR SILICONE) OR FAT TRANSFER. THE IMPLANTS ARE PLACED IN A RETROGLANDULAR OR RETROPECTORAL FASHION WITHIN THE BREAST. ONE POSSIBLE COMPLICATION AFTER SURGICAL AUGMENTATION USING SALINE OR SILICONE IMPLANTS IS IMPLANT RUPTURE. THIS ACTIVITY EXPLAINS THE RISK FACTORS, EVALUATION, AND MANAGEMENT OF BREAST IMPLANT RUPTURE AND HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM IN ENHANCING CARE FOR AFFECTED PATIENTS.
