Prospective Two-Year Cohort Study of Surgical and Implant Predictors of Breast Implant Displacement and Rotation After Aesthetic Augmentation
This prospective inception cohort will follow women for ten years after primary or revision aesthetic breast implantation. Pocket plane, incision route, implant texture, shape, volume, and operative pocket variables will be recorded. Standardized clinical and photographic assessments will identify displacement and rotation. The primary outcome is time to clinically significant implant malposition or rotation; direction, reoperation, patient-reported outcomes, and early postoperative predictors will also be analyzed.
