Activity Description

Breast implants are commonly used in aesthetic and oncoplastic surgery for breast augmentation or reconstruction. Over the years, advancements in implant technology have led to the development of modern implants with improved safety and functionality. Despite their benefits, implants can pose risks, including complications such as infection, capsular contracture, and implant rupture. Proper evaluation and management of these complications are crucial to ensuring long-term patient health and satisfaction. An interprofessional approach, involving plastic surgeons, primary care providers, and other specialists, is often necessary to provide comprehensive care for patients with breast implants.

Participants in this course learn to identify the different types of breast implants, assess complications, and implement appropriate management strategies. The course emphasizes the importance of working within an interprofessional team to monitor patients over the long term. Collaboration between plastic surgeons, primary care providers, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals enhances patient outcomes by enabling accurate evaluation, timely interventions, and coordinated care, ultimately reducing long-term morbidity associated with breast implants.
