Clinical evidence

For over 40 years we have made it our mission to design and manufacture a broad implant portfolio to meet the needs of women and surgeons. A 10-year prospective clinical study, initiated in September 2000, was designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Breast Implants in women undergoing primary breast augmentation, primary breast reconstruction, or revision surgery. Primary augmentation (n=552), revision augmentation (n=145), primary reconstruction (n=251), and revision reconstruction (n=60) patients were enrolled in the study.17

Warning

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. The longer people have them, the greater the chances are that they will develop complications, some of which will require more surgery.

Breast implants have been associated with the development of a cancer of the immune system called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This cancer occurs more commonly in patients with textured breast implants than smooth implants, although rates are not well defined. Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL.

Patients receiving breast implants have reported a variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases and others. Individual patient risk for developing these symptoms has not been well established. Some patients report complete resolution of symptoms when the implants are removed without replacement.

The sale and distribution of Mentor Breast Implant Devices are restricted to users and/or user facilities that provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of the device prior to its use in the form and manner specified in approved labeling to be provided by Mentor Worldwide LLC.

Caution: US law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.


Important Safety Information


MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Breast Implants are indicated for breast augmentation in women at least 22 years old or for breast reconstruction. Breast implant surgery should not be performed in women with active infection anywhere in their body with existing cancer or pre-cancer of their breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions or are pregnant or nursing.


Breast implants are not lifetime devices and breast implantation is not necessarily a one-time surgery. The chance of developing complications increases over time. The most common complications with the MemoryGel™ Breast Implants include reoperation, capsular contracture, asymmetry, and breast pain. A lower risk of complication is rupture. The health consequences of a ruptured silicone gel-filled breast implant have not been fully established. MRI screenings are recommended three years after initial implant surgery and then every two years after to detect silent rupture. Breast implants are also associated with the risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), an uncommon type of lymphoma. An individual's risk of developing BIA-ALCL with MENTOR™ Breast Implants is low based on the incidence of worldwide cases.


Patients should receive a copy of Important Information for Augmentation Patients about MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants or Important Information for Reconstruction Patients about MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants. Your patient needs to read and understand the information regarding the risks and benefits of breast implants, with an opportunity to consult with you prior to deciding on surgery.


For detailed indications, contraindications, warning and precautions associated with the use of MemoryGel™ Breast Implants. Please refer to the P Instructions for Use (IFU) provided with each product, or online at mentorwwllc.com.
