Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Breasts With Successful Placement of the Implant Posterior to the Mammary Gland at 6 Weeks After Treatment | 6 weeks | Inclusion was made in steps in group of 4 subjects. The subjects were followed-up with MRI 1-5 days after the injection to document correct injection technique. Before the next group were treated, the Expert Group evaluated the 6-week follow-up results of the previous group. The injection procedure was, if necessary, changed in accordance with specifically pre-defined parameters. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Breasts With Improvement as Assessed by the Investigator | 6 weeks | Esthetic improvement was evaluated using the Global Esthetic Improvement Scale (GEIS). The scale has five grades ranging from worse to very much improved. Subjects defined as at least improved are assessed as improved, much improved or very much improved. |
