Validates a histological method for quantifying silicone in breast implants, suggesting a framework for effective surveillance.
This study establishes a simple and reproducible histological method for quantifying silicone deposition within the breast implant capsule and demonstrates that a single capsule biopsy reliably reflects total silicone burden. By enabling standardized, in vivo assessment of silicone exposure, this approach provides a practical framework for post-market surveillance, and comparative implant evaluation.
