Abstract
The issue of breast silicone implants reliability is getting widely discussed in the world. The article presents the results of an anonymous survey of more than three hundred women with a of mammoplasty in medical history. We analyzed whether post-surgery complications depend on age, surgical access, and the manufacturer of the prosthesis. The study showed that age and surgical access are not associated with the occurrence of complications. Commonly known breast silicone implants are produced by Allergan and Mentor. Among the implant-related complications, capsular contracture was the most frequent, and half of all complications occur in the early post-surgery period.
