Video Summary

To improve breast implant safety, research should focus on bacterial biofilms and implants, requiring high-quality, controlled, randomized clinical trials. Better diagnostics are needed to detect biofilm-associated bacteria and differentiate between harmless and pathogenic bacteria. Advancements in implant design should minimize bacterial colonization through new materials and textures. Autologous tissue might be preferable to avoid infections. Precision medicine, including targeted and non-antibiotic therapies, should be used to assess and treat infections individually, utilizing real-time assessments and biomarkers to reduce infection risks effectively.
