Are temporary breast sizers safe? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT06274736
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using Motiva Sizers during breast augmentation or reconstruction is safe and works well. It included 133 women in Costa Rica, split into two groups: one where the sizer was used and one where it wasn't. Researchers compared complications, satisfaction, and reoperation rates over one year.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female, 18 years of age or older. * The participant will be undergoing a breast augmentation or reconstruction procedure. * To possess enough and adequate tissue to cover the implants. * Willingness to comply with all study requirements, including signing the informed consent document and agreeing to attend all required follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Existing rib injuries. * Inadequate or unsuitable tissue for augmentation or reconstruction surgery at the physician's discretion. * History of abscesses or infections in the breast area. * Current pregnancy or breastfeeding, or full-term pregnancy or breastfeeding in the six months prior to enrollment. * History of sensitivity to silicone. * Any medical condition, such as underweight or obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disease or severe chronic pulmonary or cardiovascular disease, psychological/psychiatric disorders that may result in unduly high surgical risk and/or significant postoperative complications. * Active or recurrent breast cancer. * Consumption of any medication that, in the investigator's experience, may pose an increased risk of complications or interfere with wound healing ability, such as corticosteroid therapy or blood clotting medication (e.g., concomitant treatment with warfarin). * Not living in the country where the procedure was performed , which prevents him/her from attending follow-up visits .
