FDA's MAUDE database holds 3,353 reports that name the brand "Style 10 Silicone Gel Filled Breast Implant" (prosthesis breast noninflatable internal silicone gel-filled), received between January 2016 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Allergan Costa Rica. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

479 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 456 of the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (99.9%) and death (0.1%); across all prosthesis, breast, noninflatable, internal, silicone gel-filled reports (product code FTR) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 1.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are material rupture (83.2%), device appears to trigger rejection (21.8%) and patient-device incompatibility (6.8%). The patient problems coded most often are failure of implant, capsular contracture and seroma. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
