What Were The Benefits to Silicone Breast Augmentation according to the Allergan Core Study on INAMED® Silicone-Filled Breast Implants?

0

Positive outcomes in the Allergan Core Study with INAMED® Silicone-Filled Breast Implants were reported as follows. In patients who have undergone primary silicone breast augmentation, 396 (87%) of the total 455 patients underwent breast measurement within 1 and ½ years of surgery. 41% increased by 1 cup size; 45% increased by 2 cup sizes; 8% increased by more than 2 cup sizes; and 6% had no increase or decrease. Patient contentment was based on a 5-point scale evaluation of satisfaction with their silicone breast implants at the time of the follow-up visits. Of the total 455 breast augmentation patients in the study, 364 (80%) gave a satisfaction rating four years after surgery. 346 (95%) were satisfied with their silicone breast implants. According to the commonly used mental and physical health scales (SF-36) and self-esteem scale (Rosenberg), primary augmentation patients showed no significant changes after 4 years. There was a decrease in self-concept on the Tennessee Self Concept
