Breast implant revision or first-time augmentation using a PCL scaffold
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new scaffold made of a material called polycaprolactone (PCL) to support breast shape after implant removal or for first-time breast augmentation. It may help women who want to avoid or replace implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You agree to keep your weight within 5% of your starting weight during the study.
- You agree not to have any other cosmetic breast surgery for at least 3 years after getting the scaffold.
- You are at least 18 years old and are either having your breast implants removed or getting breast augmentation for the first time.

This study checks on patients who received a breast scaffold in an earlier trial to see how they are doing over time. It helps doctors learn about the long-term safety and effectiveness of the scaffold.
This trial tests a medical mesh/scaffold (GalaFLEX LITE™) used during revision surgery to help treat capsular contracture, where scar tissue tightens around a breast implant. It may improve comfort and the appearance of the breast after implant augmentation problems.
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 tissue reinforcement device (like a mesh) used during two-stage implant-based breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. It is designed for women having their first reconstruction and may help support the implant and improve healing.
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 tests using a patient's own fat plus a special blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) to rebuild the breast right after a lumpectomy for breast cancer. It may help improve healing and appearance for women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
