Key Points

To analyze the impact of gel cohesivity, surface texture, and volume on the stability of breast implants over one year.
Conducted a one-year prospective study
Utilized three-dimensional analysis to assess implant behavior
Compared PU-coated anatomical implants with smooth variants
PU-coated anatomical implants exhibited the least change in stability
Smooth surface implants showed the highest elongation
Smooth implants also recorded a higher complication rate

Abstract

Implant gel cohesivity, surface texture and volume affect implant stability. PU-coated anatomical implants showed the least change, whereas smooth groups presented the highest elongation and complication rate.
