Breast implant science keeps evolving. Our Research Centre translates new studies and guidance into plain English, with an emphasis on what is genuinely established versus what is still uncertain.
Active areas of research
- Implant surface technology and its relationship to BIA-ALCL and capsular contracture.
- The symptoms reported as breast implant illness and ongoing investigation into causes.
- Long-term implant durability and rupture rates.
- Newer designs such as lightweight and ergonomic implants.
How we report research
We prioritise systematic reviews, registry data and guidance from regulators and professional bodies over single small studies or press releases, and we are clear about the strength of the evidence. See systematic reviews and safety updates.
