Background The ideal breast implant does not exist and the choice of implant for breast augmentation is largely based on what surgeons think will be best for their patients. Objectives To evaluate preliminary results of a new smooth, round, opaque breast implant (PERLE, GC Aesthetics; Dublin, Ireland) from a single-center UK aesthetic practice. Methods Retrospective cohort study of all patients undergoing breast implant surgery with PERLE at the authors’ center between January 2021 and December 2022. Outcomes data including rates of capsular contracture, infection, revision surgery, and synchronous mastopexy were analyzed. Results Of 385 patients identified, 374 (97.1%) had PERLE implants placed by 3 surgeons for primary (n = 290) and secondary breast augmentation (n = 21), and augmentation-mastopexy (n = 63). Capsular contracture occurred in no cases, infection in one (0.2%), and revision surgery in 21 patients (5%). The incision used was always submammary unless a synchronous mastopexy was being performed; implants were placed in the subglandular/subfascial plane in the majority of cases (85.3%) and the rest were dual-plane (14.7%). Eight revisions were performed in patients undergoing breast augmentation (due to implant displacement in six patients, and hematoma and infection in one patient each). Fourteen revisions were performed in those undergoing augmentation mastopexy. Average follow-up time was 18 month. Conclusions The authors’ early, single-center experience with PERLE implants suggests a safety profile and overall complication rate that is comparable with other modern implants. They will continue to monitor the safety and effectiveness of PERLE and discuss the reasons and evolution in choice of breast implant.
