We performed a retrospective review of baseline characteristics of the patients; these include age, sex, round of surgery (primary and revision breast augmentation), smoking status (never, current, and former smokers), body mass index, the type and volume of breast implant, and the type of surgical approach.
For safety assessment, we analyzed incidences of complications after an implant-based augmentation mammaplasty; potential complications include CC, implant malposition or rippling, breast deformation or asymmetry, wound or skin problems, infection, hematoma or hemorrhage, implant rupture, seroma, abscess, silicone granuloma or implant extrusion, double capsule, folding, upside-down rotation, and breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.23 (link)–31 (link)
