Brief Summary

The study investigates the safety and performance of Silimed® brand smooth surface breast implants in women born with indication for primary and secondary (revision) augmentation to be followed up for 10 years. The safety of the smooth-surfaced Silimed® implant will be evaluated by estimating known and unexpected short-term and long-term risk/adverse event rates through patient reports of adverse events after implantation. The performance of using Silimed® brand smooth surface breast implants will be evaluated by evaluating satisfaction and quality of life after implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Unexpected Adverse EventsEvery three years over the 10-year duration of the study

Estimate the unknown short-term and long-term risk / adverse event rate for breast implant with smooth surface Silimed®

Expected Adverse EventsEvery three years over the 10-year duration of the study

Estimate the known short-term and long-term risk / adverse event rate for breast implant with smooth surface Silimed®

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient's Satisfaction in GeneralEvery three years over the 10-year duration of the study

Estimate the performance of Silimed® breast implants with smooth surface after breast augmentation by means of a questionnaire, the Breast Self-Assessment Questionnaire (BEQ-Brazil), which consist of 55 questions related to satisfaction and comfort with the overall appearance of the breasts.

Patient's Satisfaction in Relation to Aesthetic ResultEvery three years over the 10-year duration of the study

Estimate the performance of Silimed® breast implant with smooth surface through the satisfaction of the patient regarding the aesthetic result after breast augmentation. The assessment of patient's satisfaction will be done by means of a likert scale, where the following satisfaction options can be selected: 1 = definitely satisfied, 2 = satisfied, 3 = slightly satisfied, 4 = slightly dissatisfied and 5 = definitely unsatisfied.

Evaluator's Satisfaction in Relation to Aesthetic ResultEvery three years over the 10-year duration of the study

Estimate the performance of Silimed® breast implant with smooth surface througt the satisfaction of the evaluator regarding the aesthetic result after patient's breast augmentation. The assessment of evaluator's satisfaction will be done by means of a likert scale, where the following satisfaction options can be selected: 1 = definitely satisfied, 2 /= satisfied, 3= slightly satisfied, 4 = slightly dissatisfied and 5 = definitely unsatisfied.

Patient's Quality of LifeEvery three years over the 10-year duration of the study

Estimate the performance of Silimed® breast implant with smooth surface through the quality of life of the patient after breast augmentation. The assessment of patient's quality of life will be done by means of the Rosemberg Global Self-Esteem Scale, in order to evaluate the overall self-esteem of the sample.
