“…Previous studies have looked at how knowledge of BIA-ALCL, BII, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) black box warning on breast implants influenced laywomen's willingness to pursue implantation. 20,21 However, there is a paucity of literature on the public's understanding of complications that are more likely to occur with breast implants and their overall concerns regarding breast implants.…”

esthetic and reconstructive implant-based breast operations are among the most common plastic surgery procedures. Breast augmentation has ranked as the top cosmetic procedure since 2006, and a combined total of more than 380,000 implant-based procedures are performed annually in the United States. 1,2 Despite the continuous popularity of these procedures, short-and long-term complications such as capsular contracture and implant migration are not uncommon. [3][4][5] Approximately 25% to 36% of women experience complications related to implant-based procedures that require revision

“…The survey was administered December 2021 to adults age 18 or older, located in the United States using Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). 13 This crowdsourcing data platform has been used extensively in public perceptions research in healthcare, [14][15][16] and allows "requesters" to administer research surveys to "workers," or members of the general public. Respondents were compensated $0.25.…”

Background: Healthcare has a major impact on climate change, and surgery is among the most energy-intensive hospital practices. Although most Americans believe climate change is happening, little is known regarding public awareness of the impact of healthcare on climate change and how this may impact perceptions of plastic surgery. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to adults in the United States using Amazon Mechanical Turk in December 2021 to assess public perceptions of climate change, healthcare, and plastic surgery. Incomplete responses were excluded from analysis. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine predictors of responses. Results: There were 890 complete responses. Most participants strongly agreed or agreed that climate change is happening (89%). Fewer believed that healthcare has an impact on climate change (62%), with greater odds among respondents with an associate’s degree or higher (odds ratio 2.8, P < 0.001). After they were given information about the impact of healthcare on climate change, most respondents were more worried about the effects of cosmetic plastic surgery (64%). Many respondents would be willing to engage in personal climate change mitigation measures if undergoing surgery and pay higher professional fees to support sustainable hospital practices. Conclusions: Most Americans believe climate change is happening, but fewer believe healthcare has an impact on climate change. Knowledge regarding the impact of healthcare and surgery on climate change may make patients more worried about the effects of plastic surgery on climate change, but patients may be willing to personally mitigate climate impacts of surgery.

“…3 Following the release of the FDA's draft guidance in October 2019, a previous cross-sectional study concluded that the proposed warning label would significantly influence laywomen's opinions of breast implants. 5 While some research groups have further attempted to understand public perceptions of certain complications, such as BII and BIA-ALCL, 6,7 less is known regarding how specific elements of the new, formally released FDA boxed warning may impact perceptions of implants. Moreover, less is known regarding perceptions of more common complications of implants, such as infection, which can affect up to 35% of breast reconstruction patients and require implant removal.…”

Background:The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a boxed warning on breast implants in October 2021, requiring communication of certain risks to patients. This study assessed how this boxed warning may impact public perceptions of breast implants. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to adult women in the United States in December 2021 using Amazon Mechanical Turk to assess perceptions of breast implant risks communicated in the FDA-issued guidance. Sociodemographic predictors of responses were identified using multivariable models. Results: There were 494 complete responses. Respondents had a mean age of 36.9 years, and 80% had an associate's degree or higher. At baseline, most would consider receiving implants for reconstructive or cosmetic purposes (65%). Some were unsure or indicated that it is not possible to undergo mammograms after receiving implants (42%). After provided information in the FDA guidance, the majority strongly agreed or agreed that they were less likely to receive implants knowing the risk of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (75%), because implants contain chemicals/heavy metals (74%), and because implants are not lifetime devices (68%), with greater odds among Hispanic respondents (OR, 2.35; P < 0.01) and lower odds among higher-income respondents (OR, 0.64; P = 0.03). Conclusions: There are misconceptions with regard to breast implant-associated risks. Despite most laywomen indicating that they would consider receiving implants at baseline, the risks communicated in the 2021 FDA boxed warning may make patients less likely to receive implants, with variability among different sociodemographic populations.
