MENTOR® MemoryShape® Breast Implants are indicated for breast augmentation in

women at least 22 years old, or for breast reconstruction. Breast implant surgery

should not be performed in women with active infection anywhere in their body,

with existing cancer or pre-cancer of their breast who have not received adequate

treatment for those conditions, or who are pregnant or nursing.

Breast implants are not lifetime devices and breast implantation may not be a

one-time surgery. The most common complications with MENTOR® MemoryShape®

Breast Implants for breast augmentation include reoperation for any reason, implant

removal with or without replacement, and ptosis. A lower risk of complication is

rupture. The health consequences of a ruptured silicone gel breast implant have not

been fully established. MRI screenings are recommended three years after initial

implant surgery and then every two years after to detect silent rupture.

Patients should receive a copy of Patient Educational Brochure – Breast

Augmentation with MENTOR® MemoryShape® Breast Implants or Patient Educational

Brochure – Breast Reconstruction with MENTOR® MemoryShape® Breast Implants,

and a copy of Quick Facts about Breast Augmentation & Reconstruction with

MENTOR® MemoryShape® Breast Implants. Your patient needs to read and understand

the information regarding the risks and benefits of breast implants, with an

opportunity to consult with you prior to deciding on surgery.
