Breast augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic plastic surgeries worldwide. There are various types of breast implants, and these can be categorised into different broad groups based on their content, shape or surface, to name a few. When looking at the surface of the shell, they can be categorised into two main kinds: textured and smooth implants. To our knowledge, a literature review and meta-analysis of the complications of these two types of implants when used for aesthetic breast augmentation has yet to be written.
The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane electronic databases will be searched from their inception to 1 October 2017. Only cohort studies, case series, case-control studies and randomised controlled trials will be included. Identification of the articles for inclusion will be carried out by two independent researchers, and data will be extracted from these studies for analysis. This protocol defines the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as the primary and secondary outcomes. Statistical data analysis will be conducted in Review Manager V.5.3 from Cochrane Collaboration. The methodological quality of the included studies will also be assessed.
This review will analyse secondary data collected from studies which are not linked to any specific individual. Once completed, the conclusions of the review could prove to be a valuable resource for plastic surgeons to conduct aesthetic implant procedures. The review will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at various national and international conferences.

隆胸是全球最受欢迎的美容整形手术之一。乳房植入物有多种类型，可根据其内容物、形状或表面等进行不同的大致分类。从外壳表面来看，可分为两种主要类型：有纹理的植入物和光滑的植入物。据我们所知，尚未有关于这两种类型的植入物用于美容隆胸并发症的文献综述和荟萃分析。
将检索PubMed、EMBASE和Cochrane电子数据库，检索时间从建库至2017年10月1日。仅纳入队列研究、病例系列研究、病例对照研究和随机对照试验。由两名独立研究人员进行纳入文章的识别，并从这些研究中提取数据进行分析。本方案定义了纳入和排除标准，以及主要和次要结局。将使用Cochrane协作网的Review Manager V.5.3进行统计数据分析。还将评估纳入研究的方法学质量。
本综述将分析从与任何特定个体无关的研究中收集的二手数据。一旦完成，该综述的结论可能会成为整形外科医生进行美容植入手术的宝贵资源。该综述将提交至同行评审期刊发表，并在各种国内和国际会议上展示。
