Inclusion criteria

* Be willing to undergo bilateral breast augmentation with subglandular, submuscular, or biplanar placement of the breast implants by inframammary approach only * Be a candidate for the device styles and sizes available in the study

Exclusion criteria

* Have tuberous breasts, congenital anomalies of the breast (e.g., Poland's Syndrome), or grade 3 ptosis * Have undergone any previous breast surgery * Have tissue covering determined inadequate or unsuitable by the surgeon

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Investigator Overall Satisfaction With the Device Using a 5-Point Scale3 monthsThe investigator evaluated the overall satisfaction with the device using a 5-point scale where 1=definitely dissatisfied with the device to 5=definitely satisfied with the device.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Subject Satisfaction With Breasts Using the BREAST-Q Questionnaire6 monthsParticipants evaluated satisfaction with their breasts using the BREAST-Q. Summary scores were computed by summing the score of each response and transferring them to a 0 (worst) to 100 (best) scale.
Investigator Evaluation of Whether the Implant is Palpably Distinguishable From the Tissue6 monthsThe investigator examined the breasts and evaluated whether the implant was palpably distinguishable from the tissue using a 5-point scale where 1=implant very easy to distinguish from the tissue to 5=implant indistinguishable from the tissue.
Percentage of Participants With Capsular Contracture Evaluated by Four-Grade Baker ScaleInterim analysis: 12 monthsThe investigator evaluated capsular contracture (lining of cells formed around the device as the body's response to a foreign object) using the Four-Grade Baker scale where: Grade I= Breast is normally soft and looks natural, Grade II= Breast is a little firm but looks normal, Grade III=Breast is firm and looks abnormal or Grade IV= Breast is hard, painful, and looks abnormal. The percentage of participants in each Baker Grade is reported.
Percentage of Participants With Local ComplicationsInterim analysis: 12 monthsThe percentage of participants experiencing local complications (in the area of the implant) is reported.
