Breast expander safety study for reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is tracking how a silicone breast expander (a temporary balloon placed under the skin to stretch it) and a permanent silicone breast implant perform over time in women who need breast reconstruction. It aims to make sure the Silimed-brand expander and implant are safe and work well.

This trial follows women who get their first breast implant surgery or a repeat (primary vs secondary) and records side effects and how satisfied they feel. It aims to better understand safety and satisfaction with smooth-surface silicone implants.
This study looks at side effects and satisfaction after breast implant surgery. It may help by sharing what problems happen most and how satisfied people feel after getting a Silimed® textured or Silimed foam-coated implant.
This study looks at how safe and effective a special type of breast implant (called a tissue expander) is for people who need breast reconstruction or revision. The implant has a built-in valve that lets doctors adjust it over time.
This study tests a new “smart” expander device used during two-step breast reconstruction or breast augmentation. It may help doctors improve how tissue expanders are managed before a final implant is placed.
This trial looks at different ways to place tissue expanders during breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It aims to find which technique gives better results for women with breast cancer or high genetic risk.
This study is testing Eurosilicone Luna breast implants in women who need breast augmentation (enlargement) or reconstruction after mastectomy. It aims to see how safe and effective the implants are over time.
