Prospective longitudinal cohort study of implant age, pocket plane, incision, surface texture, and volume as predictors of breast implant rupture
NCT ID NCT07810205
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026
Summary
This prospective dynamic cohort will follow women with intact aesthetic silicone breast implants to evaluate predictors of rupture. Implant age, pocket plane, incision route, surface texture, and volume will be recorded, and participants will undergo annual clinical and imaging surveillance for up to five years. Confirmed rupture will require MRI or operative evidence. Delayed-entry survival models will estimate the independent association of implant and surgical characteristics with rupture risk.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female sex and age 18 years or older. * Aesthetic breast augmentation with permanent silicone implants. * Known implantation date or sufficiently precise implantation year, pocket plane, incision route, surface texture, and implant volume. * Both implants or the analyzed implant documented as intact at baseline by the study imaging algorithm. * Ability to complete annual surveillance for up to five years. * Written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Reconstructive implantation after mastectomy, congenital deformity, or major trauma. * Tissue expander or nonpermanent device. * Confirmed rupture at cohort entry for the implant under analysis. * PIP implant or another recalled device if the final protocol elects to exclude it from etiologic modeling. * Missing core implant characteristics or implantation date. * Planned immediate explantation or exchange at enrollment for a reason unrelated to surveillance.
