What are the Major Problems and Safety Issues with Breast Implants?

The long-term safety and effectiveness of breast implants have not been studied; however, Mentor is monitoring the long-term (i.e., 10-year) chance of implant rupture, re-operation, implant removal, and capsular contracture. Mentor is also conducting mechanical testing to assess the long-term likelihood of implant rupture.
For important information on the benefits and risks associated with saline-filled breast implant surgery, read our document called "Saline-Filled Breast Implant Surgery: Making an Informed Decision" and also read a copy of the product package insert, "Mentor Saline-Filled and Spectrum™ Mammary Prosthese."
