FDA Approves Establishment Labs Motiva Breast Implants

The FDA has approved Motiva’s SmoothSilk Round and Round Ergonomix Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants for breast augmentation in people 22 and older.

According to the FDA Round Up September 27, 2024:

On Thursday, the FDA approved for marketing Motiva USA, LLC’s SmoothSilk Round and Round Ergonomix Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants, indicated for breast augmentation for patients of at least 22 years of age. The device approval is supported by an open-label, prospective study of 560 patients followed up to three years at more than 20 U.S. and European study sites. As a condition of the Premarket Approval Application (PMA) approval, the FDA is requiring the manufacturer to conduct post approval studies to continue follow-up of the premarket cohorts for 10 years to assess the long-term clinical performance of the device and provide these data to the FDA on an annual basis, and to conduct a new enrollment multicenter non-randomized prospective study following 2,400 patients for 10 years to assess selected safety and effectiveness issues not addressed during premarket studies, while requiring these data to be provided to FDA every six months. As with all breast implants marketed in the U.S., as a condition of approval of the PMA, Motiva is restricted to selling and distributing its breast implants only to users and user facilities that provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of this device before its use as specified in the approved labeling.

If you think you had a problem with your breast implants or any other medical device, the FDA encourages you to report the problem through the MedWatch Voluntary Reporting Form.
