Title: A Single Surgeon's experience with Motiva Ergonomix Round SilkSurface Silicone implants in breast reconstruction over a 5-year period.
Numerous breast implants are used for breast reconstruction. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Recent data regarding the link between BIA-ALCL and implant texture caused a significant paradigm shift toward the use of smooth round implants. Motiva Ergonomix, a silk-surface breast implant, is classified as a smooth implant. Up to date, there is little data regarding the use of this specific implant in breast reconstruction. Describe a single surgeon's experience with Motiva Ergonomix, silk-textured, round implant for breast reconstruction. A retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing primary or revisionary breast reconstruction procedures, using Motiva Ergonomix, from Jan 2017 to Jan 2022. Patient demographics and medical status were extracted. Surgical data, including reconstructive technique, implant size, plane, use of ADM and complications were recorded. BREAST-Q questionnaires were completed.
