Primary Breast Augmentation with Anatomical Form-stable Implant

The Natrelle™ 410 (Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) shaped, form-stable silicone gel implant was introduced
in Europe in 1993. Its “form stability” relates to increased cohesiveness or stiffness of the gel filler, allowing
the implant to maintain its shape in the upright position. The anatomical form-stable implant is helpful for
reducing ripples and provides more natural looking due to less upper pole fullness, so it has some benefits for
the thin patients. And it provides more expansion to the lower pole, it has also benefits for the ptotic breasts
or constricted breasts. I have experienced 69 cases with anatomical form-stable implants (52 Polytech
Replicon® (POLYTECH Health & Aesthetics, Dieburg, Germany) implants, 85 Natrelle™ 410 implants) from
February to December of 2012. The most common used implants are MF295 g of Natrelle™ 410 and high
profile 315 g of Polytech Replicon®. I did reoperations for 2 breasts of 2 patients. One was due to hematoma
and the other was due to displacement. Both cases are my early experiences of shaped implants. There is no
other complication yet. I need longer follow-up period for the appropriate evaluation. In my early experiences,
the results of anatomical form-stable implants seem to make less fullness of upper pole, less ripples, more
tightness, and similar recovery periods in contrast with the results of round textured implants.
