Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of capsular contracture | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | To describe the rate of capsular contracture. Capsular contracture will be evaluated according to the Baker classification (from I to IV with grade III/IV considered as retractile capsular contractures). |
| Post-surgery rupture | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | To describe the rate of post-surgery rupture. Rupture will be evaluated based on cases of hardening or deflation, based on clinical signs and if deemed necessary by the investigator, by medical imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of occurrence of other adverse events and complications | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | Evaluate the frequency of occurrence of other adverse events and complications recorded during the study |
| Participant's QoL | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | Quality of life: will be evaluated using the French version of the Breast Body Image Scale (BBIS). |
| Reoperation rate | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | Reoperation will be defined as a new operation at the breast implant site for any cause. The analyses will be performed at the implant level and at the participant level, overall and by group |
| Participant's and investigator's satisfaction regarding the aesthetic result | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | Participant and investigator satisfaction with aesthetic results: questionnaire using generic 6-level Likert scale: extremely dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, somewhat satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied. |
| Breast implant survival rate. | From implantation to end of study (10-year) | Breast implant survival rate: the event will be defined as the removal of a breast implant for any reason other than participant's wish. Breast survival will be defined as the absence of breast implant removal. The analysis will be at the implant level and at the participant level, overall and by group. |
