The results suggest that implant ruptures of silicone gel breast implants are under diagnosed. Clinical follow-up seems insufficient to diagnose implant ruptures. Ultra sound surveillance (± MRI) could be proposed 4 years, 7 years and 10 years after the initial surgery. It does not seem appropriate to propose a systematic change of implant without the incidence of a rupture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
