Breast implant revision or first-time augmentation using a PCL scaffold
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.

This trial checks on people who already received a special breast scaffold in a previous study. It aims to see how they are doing over time.
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 trial tests a new acellular matrix (a material made from natural tissue) used during breast reconstruction with implants. It aims to help support the implant and promote natural tissue healing.
This trial tests a new method to lift and add fullness to sagging breasts using your own breast tissue and fat. It may be an option if you have moderate sagging, small to moderate breasts, and are in good health.
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.
