Quantitative assessment of the breast implant malposition after augmentation mammaplasty

Abstract

Slight displacement of breast implants from initial positioning is expected and inherent in submuscular augmentation mammoplasty (SAMP). However, due to various factors, displacement of implants can progress, causing discomfort, changes in the shape of the breast, and deterioration of aesthetics. The boundary between normality and pathology in the case of displacement of the mammary glands (MG) implants is currently unclear due to various reasons, including the lack of a quantitative measure of its assessment.
