So what is the common breast implant complication?

0:04

If you read online on the f d A website, there are lot,

0:07

lots of potential complication associated with that. Today,

0:11

let's just focus on the, uh, most common ones.

0:14

So immediately of the surgery,

0:16

patient can have a hematoma or infection,

0:21

and then later, after the surgery, like a month or years after the surgery,

0:26

pacing can develop capsular contraction or implant

0:31

rupture. In this lecture,

0:33

we are going to focus more on implant rupture because it is more common

0:37

complication. So it's very important to,

0:42

to make a early and, uh, correct diagnosis of, uh,

0:46

implant rupture is basically the silicone implant rupture for the

0:51

radiology, right? Because silicone implant rupture is, uh,

0:55

kind of difficult to diagnosis in clinic.

1:00

If for you, uh, miss the diagnosis, the,

1:03

the silicone way came out of the, um,

1:07

implant and then get into the breast parenchyma and goes to the

1:12

system and it will be very difficult if surgically remove those,

1:17

uh, extracapsular, uh, silicone. That's one case.

1:22

On other side, if you also diagnoses the implant rupture,

1:26

it can also cause a problem. For example,

1:28

there is no implant rupture over there,

1:31

but you call it and then you prompt the patient to go to the OR for

1:36

surgically removal. You can imagine what carbon we can cause, right?

1:40

You would be, uh, overdiagnosed that.
