Patient satisfaction with Trilucent(TM) breast implants

Abstract

We report our findings in a retrospective study of patient satisfaction with soyabean oil-filled mammary implants. Sixty-two women who had breast augmentation with Trilucent(TM) breast implants were sent a questionnaire to assess their satisfaction with implant placement; 19 of the 62 attended for clinical examination. Overall satisfaction with triglyceride implant placement was high: very pleased 45% (18/40), pleased 32.5% (13/40), content 12.5% (5/40). The majority of women felt that it had enhanced their body image and lifestyle (82.5%). (C) 2000 The British Association of Plastic Surgeons.
