What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to collect additional post-approval clinical data on the long-term performance of MemoryShape and MemoryGel Breast Implants, as indicated for primary or revisional breast augmentation and primary or revisional breast reconstruction.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinator or your doctor.

Is the MemoryShape and MemoryGel breast implant generally safe for use in humans?

The MemoryShape and MemoryGel breast implants have been studied for safety over several years. A 10-year study on MemoryGel implants was conducted to gather long-term safety data, and another study showed no postoperative complications for the MemoryGel Xtra implants in a subgroup analysis. However, safety profiles can vary, and it's important to consider individual circumstances. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

How do MemoryShape and MemoryGel breast implants differ from other breast implant options?

MemoryShape and MemoryGel breast implants are unique because they offer a variety of shapes and textures, including a form-stable, cohesive gel that mimics the natural feel and firmness of a youthful breast. The MemoryShape implants, in particular, have an anatomic shape and a textured shell that help maintain their position and provide a more natural appearance compared to traditional round implants. ^{1 2 3 6 7}

What data supports the effectiveness of MemoryShape and MemoryGel breast implants for breast surgery?

Research shows that MemoryShape and MemoryGel breast implants have been used successfully for up to 10 years in women undergoing breast augmentation or reconstruction, with positive clinical outcomes and high satisfaction rates. These implants are designed to mimic the natural shape and firmness of the breast, which may contribute to their effectiveness in achieving desired aesthetic results. ^{1 2 3 6 7}
