Data collection was completed in March 2017.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>The Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database, which contains medical device reports submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was searched for complications that occurred from January 2006 to December 2016 involving facial implants made by Implantech, MEDPOR, Stryker, KLS Martin, and Synthes. Furthermore, the Thomson Reuters Westlaw legal database was searched for relevant litigation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The complications of facial implants were analyzed in relation to the location of implant and severity of complication.

Sixteen (41%) involved malar implants, followed by 12 chin implants (31%). The most common complications included infection (18 [46%]), implant migration (9 [23%]), swelling (7 [18%]), and extrusion (4 [10%]). Thirty-two patients (83%) had to have their implants removed. Infection occurred at a mean (SD) of 83.3 (68.8) days following the surgery. One-third of complications involved either migration or extrusion. The mean (range) time to migration or extrusion was 381.1 (10-2400) days. In 12 malpractice cases identified in publicly available court proceedings, alleged inadequate informed consent and requiring additional surgical intervention (ie, removal) were the most commonly cited factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Infection and implant migration or extrusion are the most common complications of facial implants. Most of these complications necessitate removal. These considerations need to be discussed with patients preoperatively as part of the informed consent process, as allegedly inadequate informed consent was cited in a significant proportion of resultant litigation, and there were overlapping considerations among adverse events reported to the FDA and factors brought up in relevant litigation. Cases resolved with settlements and jury-awarded damages encompassed considerable award totals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamafacialplasticsurgery\/pages\/instructions-for-authors\/#SecLevelofEvidence\/Ethnicity\">NA<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamafacial.2017.2242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,18]],"date-time":"2018-01-18T12:51:01Z","timestamp":1516279861000},"page":"244-248","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Adverse Events in Facial Implant Surgery and Associated Malpractice Litigation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Hani M.","family":"Rayess","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Svider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Curtis","family":"Hanba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vivek Sagar","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facial Plastic Surgery Associates, Houston, Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Carron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"},{"name":"Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Zuliani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"},{"name":"Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2000-7324","article-title":"Malar, submalar, and midfacial implants","volume":"16","author":"Constantinides MS","year":"2000","unstructured":"Constantinides MS, , Galli SK, , Miller PJ, , Adamson PA.
