Abstrakt: Medical records of 180 patients who underwent silicone gelfilled breast implant explantation were retrospectively reviewed. The goal of this study was to determine if any patient variables had predictive value for positive quality of life after explantation. The medical complaints, symptoms, and established diagnoses were considered equally and were referred to as selfreported medical problems.
