Eligibility
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

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Investigator Overall Satisfaction With the Device Using a 5-Point Scale | 3 months | The 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subject Satisfaction With Breasts Using the BREAST-Q Questionnaire | 6 months | Participants 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 Tissue | 6 months | The 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 Scale | Interim analysis: 12 months | The 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 Complications | Interim analysis: 12 months | The percentage of participants experiencing local complications (in the area of the implant) is reported. |

Outcome results
Investigator Overall Satisfaction With the Device Using a 5-Point Scale
The 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.
Time frame: 3 months
Population: Full analysis population included all participants.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Participants | Investigator Overall Satisfaction With the Device Using a 5-Point Scale | 4.6 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 0.62 |
Investigator Evaluation of Whether the Implant is Palpably Distinguishable From the Tissue
The 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.
Time frame: 6 months
Population: Full analysis population included all participants.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Participants | Investigator Evaluation of Whether the Implant is Palpably Distinguishable From the Tissue | 2.7 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 0.96 |
Percentage of Participants With Capsular Contracture Evaluated by Four-Grade Baker Scale
The 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.
Time frame: Interim analysis: 12 months
