- Results from the MemoryGel Breast Implants study indicate that the implants are safe and effective even after 10 years post-implantation.
- The study aimed to evaluate real-world outcomes for patients who received these implants during primary breast augmentation, and involved a case series analysis with patients aged 22 and older over a period from 2006 to 2016.
- The findings reported a low complication rate of 6.4% among 777 patients, with specific rates for capsular contracture, infection, and rupture being 4.7%, 0.1%, and 1.6%, respectively, supporting the long-term safety of these implants.
