“…igh-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) is a cost-effective, noninvasive modality for imaging a breast implant, and it was found to be useful in characterizing various types of breast implants and detecting rupture. [1][2][3] We have investigated novel methods for characterizing a breast implant and detecting the presence and scope of rupture using HRUS before reoperation in patients undergoing augmentation mammaplasty.…”

Summary: With the emergence of state-of-the art implant technology and advanced surgical techniques, plastic surgeons face challenging problems, such as identification of a specific type of a device and diagnosis of postoperative complications, in managing patients undergoing implant-based augmentation mammaplasty. In this article, the authors introduce a novel method for characterizing a breast implant based on diverse factors (eg, filler properties, type of pocket, surface topography, shape type, and manufacturer of the device) and detecting the presence and scope of rupture using high-resolution ultrasound.

“…Kim JH reported that the manufacturer was previously involved in the Poly Implant Prothèse fraud in Europe [86,135,137]. In 13 November 2020, mandatory recall of the BellaGel ® breast implants, including the BellaGel ® SmoothFine, was initiated by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS) [86,[135][136][137][138][139]. Later, according to the news dated 3 December 2020, a Korean woman receiving the BellaGel ® sustained mental trauma when she became a victim of the first Korean case of a medical device fraud committed by HansBiomed Co. Ltd. in violation of the regulatory requirement enforced by the KMFDS.…”

We assessed the efficacy of a 4-week nurse-led exercise rehabilitation (ER) program in improving the quality of life (QOL) of breast cancer survivors (BCS) receiving an implant-based breast reconstruction. The eligible patients were equally randomized to either of both groups: the intervention group (n = 30; a 4-week nurse-led ER program) and the control group (n = 30; a 4-week physical therapist-supervised one). Both after a 4-week ER program and at baseline, the patients were evaluated for the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scores. There was a significantly higher degree of increase in global health status/QOL scores, physical functioning scores, role functioning scores, and emotional functioning scores at 4 weeks from baseline in the intervention group as compared with the control group (p = 0.001). However, there was a significantly higher degree of decrease in fatigue scores, nausea/vomiting scores, pain scores, dyspnea scores, and FSS scores in the intervention group as compared with the control group (p = 0.001). In conclusion, our results indicate that a 4-week nurse-led ER program might be effective in the QOL in BCS receiving a post-mastectomy implant-based reconstruction using the Motiva ErgonomixTM Round SilkSurface.

“…Global BICs have been classified into the first crisis (Dow Corning), the second crisis (Poly Implant Prothèse) and the third crisis (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)) [ 17 ]. As previously delineated, the Korean breast implant industry has experienced the first crisis (BIA-ALCL) and a second crisis, also known as the first Korean case of a medical device fraud (BellaGel ® (HansBiomed Co., Ltd., Seoul, Republic of Korea) breast implant scandal) [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. With the occurrence of the BICs, it has become increasingly important to safeguard patients receiving an SGBI [ 18 ].…”

“…Its 3-year safety has been recently assessed using high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) [ 24 ]. Indeed, the importance of the use of HRUS in assessing the safety of SGBIs has been well documented in the literature [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 51 , 52 ]. Along the continuum of these previous studies, we have efficiently used three-dimensional (3-D) simulation technology and HRUS to maximize both the aesthetic outcomes and safety of the Motiva Ergonomix TM Round SilkSurface.…”

With the occurrence of breast implant crises in Korea, it has become increasingly important to detect complications earlier in patients receiving a device. We have therefore combined imaging modalities with an implant-based augmentation mammaplasty. In this study, we assessed the short-term treatment outcomes and safety of the Motiva Ergonomix™ RoundSilkSurface (Establishment Labs Holdings Inc., Alajuela, Costa Rica) in Korean women. A total of 87 women (n = 87) were included in the current study. We compared preoperative anthropometric measurements between the right side and the left side of the breast. Moreover, we also compared the thickness of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and the pectoralis major measured on a breast ultrasound preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. Furthermore, we analyzed the incidences of postoperative complications and the cumulative complication-free survival. Preoperatively, there was a significant difference in the distance from the nipple to the midline between the left and right side of the breast (p = 0.000). Both sides of the breast showed significant differences in the thickness of the pectoralis major preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively (p = 0.000). A total of 11 cases (12.6%) of postoperative complications occurred; these included five cases (5.7%) of early seroma, two cases (2.3%) of infection, two cases (2.3%) of rippling, one case (1.1%) of hematoma and one case (1.1%) of capsular contracture. Time-to-events were estimated at 386.68 ± 27.79 days (95% CI 334.11–439.27). Here, we describe our experience with imaging modalities in combination with the Motiva ErgonomixTM Round SilkSurface in Korean women.
