Evaluation of the Safety and Performance of SYMATESE AESTHETICS ESTYME® MATRIX Round Microtextured Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants in the Breast Augmentation

Overview

The purpose of this study is to collect clinical data to evaluate the safety and performance of ESTYME® MATRIX Round microtextured breast implants in patients who receive these silicone gel-filled implants as part of their breast augmentation surgery in primary intention. This study also aims to measure patient and surgeon satisfaction.

An initial study of all ESTYME® MATRIX implants was conducted between 2018 and 2021. The purpose of the current EMMA study is to complete the data from this first study on a larger number of implants, and only on the ESTYME® MATRIX Round Microtextured Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants range for primary intention breast augmentation, with a view to obtaining marketing authorization (CE marking).
