Device Story

Sientra Silicone Gel Breast Implants are surgically implanted devices used for breast augmentation or reconstruction. The device consists of a silicone elastomer shell filled with high-strength silicone gel. Implants are available in various shapes, profiles, and sizes, with either smooth or textured surfaces. The device is implanted by a surgeon in a clinical setting. The implant provides volume and shape to the breast, improving aesthetic outcomes or restoring breast tissue following surgery or trauma. Clinical benefits include improved body image and self-esteem. The device is designed to be durable, though potential adverse effects include capsular contracture, rupture, reoperation, and implant removal. Healthcare providers monitor patients for complications, including silent rupture via MRI screening.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective, multi-center, 10-year open-label study (IDE #G010193) of 1,788 patients (3,506 implants). Primary endpoints included complication rates (reoperation, rupture, capsular contracture), patient satisfaction, and QOL (SF-36, Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Body Esteem). 3-year K-M risk rates for reoperation were 12.6% (primary augmentation) to 42.5% (revision-reconstruction). Rupture rates were low (1.5% by implant in primary augmentation MRI cohort). No association found between implants and CTD, cancer, or suicide.

ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES There are several other alternatives for the augmentation or reconstruction of the breast with silicone filled breast implants. Alternative procedures include saline-filled breast implant surgery, external prostheses, autogenous tissue grafts, tissue-flap surgeries (e.g., transverse rectus abdominus muscle, latissimus dorsi muscle, gluteal muscle), or no treatment. Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle. VII. MARKETING HISTORY Silimed Industria de Implantes, Ltda. (hereinafter called “Silimed-Brazil”), the company that manufactures the Implants for Sientra, is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Silimed-Brazil began manufacturing its silicone-based medical devices in 1981. To date, Silimed-Brazil has distributed nearly half a million high-strength silicone gel breast implants equivalent or corresponding to the PMA-approved Implants in Europe, South America, Australia, Asia, and Africa. These implants have not been withdrawn from any foreign market for any reason. In September 2002, Silimed-U.S. received FDA approval to begin its Core Clinical Study for its Silicone Gel Breast Implants. The Core Clinical Study is the primary clinical set in this PMA. In April 2007, Sientra purchased substantially all the assets of Silimed-U.S. and is now the sponsor of the PMA. VIII. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DEVICE ON HEALTH Below is a list of the potential adverse effects (e.g., complications) associated with the use of the device. - Reoperation (additional surgeries) - Implant removal with or without replacement - Implant rupture - Capsular contracture - Wrinkling - Asymmetry - Implant displacement - Implant palpability/visibility - Scarring - Ptosis - Pain - Changes in nipple and breast sensation - Infection (including Toxic Shock Syndrome) - Hematoma - Seroma PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 3 {3} - Breast feeding difficulties - Calcium deposits - Extrusion - Necrosis - Delayed wound healing - Breast tissue atrophy/chest wall deformity - Lymphadenopathy - Connective tissue disease (CTD) - CTD signs and symptoms - Neurological disease - Neurological signs and symptoms - Cancer - Lymphoma - Suicide - Potential effects on offspring. For the specific adverse events that occurred in the clinical studies, please see Section X below. ## IX. SUMMARY OF PRECLINICAL STUDIES The preclinical studies are divided into five sections—chemistry, toxicology, mechanical, modes and causes of rupture, and shelf life. ## A. Chemistry Data ### 1. Extent of Cross-linking Shell – The extent of cross-linking was measured for smooth and textured implant shells. The percent weight gain and crosslink density were uniform over the three lots tested. The physical properties of cured samples of all elastomer lots used for breast implant shells are measured to ensure that they meet or exceed pre-established material specifications for use in the manufacture of the implant shells. This testing demonstrated that the extent of cross-linking of the elastomers used in the shell is sufficient to ensure that shells meet the ASTM F703 [1] specification of a minimum 2.5 lb break force and >350% elongation. Gel – Using penetrometer testing, every lot of gel is tested to ensure that the crosslink density conforms to predetermined specifications. The uniformity of the crosslink density across all lots of gel used in the implants is ensured by testing each gel lot used for Implant manufacture. All lots of gel used in the implants have an extent of cross-linking sufficient to achieve the internal specification. ### 2. Volatiles Textured implant shells and gel filler were separately tested for volatile organic compounds using EPA test method 8260[2]. Among the three lots tested, only one showed any level of PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {4} tetrachloroethylene; this lot showed low levels of tetrachloroethylene (227 ppb in the gel and 174 ppb in the shell). Tetrachloroethylene is the solvent used to disperse the components used to make the implant's shells. No other organic compounds were detected by this method. # 3. Extractables For the exhaustive extraction, components of the device were extracted with different solvents exhaustively. The extracts were analyzed as described below: Gravimetric analysis: The smooth shell gave $8.97\%$ by weight of extractable tetrahydrofuran residue. The textured shell gave $8.76\%$ by weight of extractable residue. The gel of the smooth shell gave $92.20\%$ by weight of extractable residue. The gel of the textured shell gave $93.09\%$ by weight of extractable residue. FTIR Analysis: FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red Analysis) was conducted on samples of textured and smooth shell implants. The shells were extracted in three solvents separately. The solvents used were chloroform, methylene chloride, and hexane: methanol (2:1). FTIR was conducted on the shells after extraction. For each extracted sample the FTIR was identical to the one for the as received sample indicating that material extracted is consistent with the silicone polymer comprising the shell. Extract of the shell were also analyzed by FTIR demonstrating the extracts are consistent with PDMS reference spectra. Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC): The methylene chloride extractable residue of the shells was taken up in toluene and analyzed by gel permeation chromatograph with a size exclusion column. The system was calibrated using polystyrene standards. The GPC analysis of the residues gave two peaks: (1) an average molecular weight peak at 202,232 and (2) an average molecular weight peak at 12,963. The gel residue was taken up in toluene and analyzed by gel permeation chromatography with an exclusion column. The system was calibrated using polystyrene molecular weight standards. One peak was observed at 8.104E04 for the gel from the smooth shell and 8.242E04 for the gel with the textured shell. Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of Shell and Gel Extractables: The residue from the shell and gel extraction was subjected to GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) analysis. The GC/MS was calibrated using $\mathrm{D}_4$ , $\mathrm{D}_5$ , $\mathrm{D}_6$ and $\mathrm{D}_9$ standard solutions. The results are listed in the table 3 below: | Cyclic Siloxane | Shell μg/g | Gel Filler μg/g | | --- | --- | --- | | D3(Average) | 0.87 | ND | | D4 | 0.60 | 73 | | D5 | 3.92 | 510 | | D6 | 25.39 | 2119 | | D7 | 20.64 | 2153 | | D8 | 14.01 | 1560 | PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {5} | Cyclic Siloxane | Shell μg/g | Gel Filler μg/g | | --- | --- | --- | | D9 | 8.29 | 952 | | D10 | 6.11 | 964 | | D11 | 5.05 | 1107 | | D12 | 5.76 | 1111 | | D13 | 6.94 | 1276 | | D14 | 9.0 | 1808 | | D15 | 10.93 | 2180 | | D16 | 14.08 | 2539 | | D17 | 18.0 | 2563 | | D18 | 14.84 | 2471 | | D19 | 15.75 | 2402 | | D20 | 21.79 | 1447 | | D21 | 15..24 | ND | | Sum D3-D21 | 219.45 | Sum D4-20: 27234 | ND = Not Detected Table 3: Semi-volatiles Analysis by GC/MS Shell (Chloroform) and Gel Extracts (THF) There were no solvent residuals detected in the GC/MS analysis. # 4. Heavy Metals Samples of implant shell and gel materials were digested in acid and the metals were analyzed using ICP-Mass Spectroscopy. A small amount of platinum, the catalyst for the curing mechanism, was detected. Complete metal analyses on the individual components of the device are presented in Table 4. | Metal | Shell (ppm) | Gel (ppm) | | --- | --- | --- | | Antimony | ND | ND | | Arsenic | ND | ND | | Barium | 0.27 | ND | | Beryllium | ND | ND | | Bromine | ND | 19 | | Cadmium | ND | ND | | Calcium | ND | ND | | Cesium | 0.11 | ND | | Chromium | ND | 0.27-0.28 | | Cobalt | ND | ND | | Copper | ND | ND | | Germanium | ND | 0.07 | | Iron | ND | ND | | Lead | ND | ND | | Magnesium | ND | 2.8-3.2 | | Manganese | ND | 0.04 | | Mercury | ND | ND | PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {6} | Metal | Shell (ppm) | Gel (ppm) | | --- | --- | --- | | Molybdenum | ND | ND | | Nickel | ND | 0.07-0.08 | | Phosphorus | 4.0 | 4.7-5.8 | | Platinum | 1.6-1.7 | 1.1-8.6 | | Potassium | ND | 22 | | Selenium | ND | ND | | Silver | ND | ND | | Sodium | ND | ND | | Thallium | ND | ND | | Tin | 0.39-0.95 | 0.15-0.19 | | Vanadium | ND | ND | | Zinc | ND | 0.33-0.37 | | Zirconium | 0.46 | ND | ND = Not Detected Table 4: Heavy Metal Testing Results in $\mu \mathrm{g}/\mathrm{g}$, WCAS Report Platinum is a metal used as a catalyst in the manufacture of the Shell and Gel Materials of silicone breast implants. The small amounts of platinum remaining in the product may enter the body, either by diffusing through the intact shell (i.e., through gel bleed) or through an implant rupture. FDA has concluded that the platinum contained in breast implants is in the zero oxidation state, which has the lowest toxicity, and thus, does not pose a significant risk to women with silicone breast implants. FDA has posted a Backgrounder on its website that provides a brief summary of the key scientific studies on platinum and silicone gel-filled breast implants (http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/BreastImplants/UCM064040). 5. Silica Filler X-ray diffraction studies on the elastomer shell confirmed that the silica used as a reinforcing material is in the amorphous form. B. Toxicology Data Sientra provided both pharmacokinetic and biocompatibility testing to address the biological safety of the material used in their device. Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of the implants have been addressed through a risk assessment based on exhaustive solvent extraction data from two different extraction studies conducted on the implants, as well as gel diffusion data. A Margin of Exposure approach was used to assess the safety of one of the compounds released from the device, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4). Toxicity data are also available for the compounds, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6). The upper-bound estimated dose of D4-D6 received by a patient with two $700\mathrm{g}$ implants exceeds the provisional (tolerable intake) TI PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {7} values or safe levels of exposure for these compounds; however, very conservative estimates were used to estimate dose and to derive the provisional TI values. As a result, it is unlikely that the dose of D4-D6 released from the implants will result in adverse systemic effects in patients with the device. ## Biocompatibility Testing The biocompatibility testing below was conducted for the major device components (shell, gel, finished device) as described in ISO 10993 [3]. The testing demonstrated the biocompatibility of the materials in the Sientra product. Testing conducted is summarized in table 5 below: | Test | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Results | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1. Cytotoxicity | Extracts of gel and shell materials were evaluated for cytotoxic effects on mouse fibroblast L929 cells. | The test article passed the test if all three monolayers exposed to the test article showed no greater than a grade of 2 (reactivity mild). | The test articles were non-cytotoxic. | | 2. Irritation &12-Week Muscle Implantation | A 12-week muscular implantation study was conducted in New Zealand White rabbits to evaluate the potential for gel and shell materials to produce local irritation or toxic responses. | Mean macroscopic scores for test implants were compared to mean scores of the control sites. The requirements of the test were met if the difference between test and control score means (macroscopic) was not greater than 1.0. | There were no macroscopic reactions following a 12-week implantation and both test articles were classified as non-irritants. No significant macroscopic reactions were reported for either the shell or gel materials. The mean test score minus the mean control score was 0.0. | | 3. Acute Systemic Toxicity | Extracts of gel and shell materials were evaluated for acute systemic toxicity. Mice were administered either 50 ml/kg of test article-extract material or a vehicle control (NaCl solution or sesame oil). The NaCl extract was injected by the intravenous route, while the sesame oil extract was injected by the intraperitoneal route. The mice were observed immediately after dosing and at 4, 24, 48, and 72 hours. | If during the observation period, none of the mice treated with the individual test extract exhibited a significantly greater reaction than the corresponding control mice, the test extract met the test requirements. | There was no mortality or evidence of toxicity. | PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {8} | Test | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Results | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4. Hemocompatibility | The purpose of the test was to determine whether the gel and shell materials would cause hemolysis. Whole blood New Zealand rabbit samples diluted with saline was exposed to the test articles for 3 hours at 37°C. | An average hemolytic index of the triplicate test samples was compared to the negative control. A hemolytic index of 2% or less was considered to be nonhemolytic. | The mean hemolytic index for all test articles was 0% and the articles were found to be nonhemolytic. | | 5. Pyrogenicity | The purpose of the test was to evaluate the gel and shell materials for material mediated pyrogenicity. New Zealand White rabbits were given a single intravenous (i.v.) injection via the marginal ear vein with an extract of the test material. Rectal temperatures were measured up to 3 hours post-injection. | If no single animal showed an increase of more than 0.4°C above its baseline temperature, then the solution was judged non-pyrogenic. | There was no evidence of a pyrogenic response and all recorded temperature rises were within normal limits. | | 6. Immunotoxicity | The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of the gel and shell materials on immune functions following subcutaneous implantation in female Fischer 344 rats. Rats were subcutaneously implanted with the test articles and observed for 30 days. The parameters of evaluation included histopathology, clinical pathology, T cell-dependent antibody response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) natural killer cell (NK) activity, phagocytic activity, and immunophenotyping for call surface markers. | Animals were assessed for reactions. | The results showed that there was minimal immunosuppressive impact by the test materials. | | 7. Sensitization | Sensitization testing was done to evaluate the potential for gel and shell materials to induce delayed dermal contact sensitization in guinea pigs. The test articles were extracted utilizing either 0.9% NaCl (USP) or sesame oil (NF). | Scoring grades of 1 or greater in the test group generally indicated sensitization, provided that grades of less than 1 were observed on the control animals. | There was no evidence of the extracts of the shell or gel material inducing delayed dermal contact sensitization in either study. | PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {9} | Test | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Results | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 8. Reproductive Toxicology and Teratogenicity | A two-generation reproductive/developmental toxicity study was conducted in rats to assess the potential reproductive and developmental toxicity of the gel and shell materials. Potential reproductive effects were assessed through the mating of two generations of rats (parental or F0 and F1). F0 females received either 4 g of silicone gel or 2 g of silicone implant shell material by subcutaneous implantation and were exposed to these materials for 6 weeks prior to mating. Litter endpoints (e.g., litter size, sex ratio, body weights) were assessed in F1 offspring. | Animals were assessed for reactions. | The data indicate that there were no implant-related, adverse effects in F0 females. From a reproductive toxicity perspective, there were no effects on mating or reproductive performance, on precoital interval, or on pup sex ratio. With regard to developmental effects, there were no adverse effects seen in the F1 generation and differences in the onset of sexual maturation were not seen among the F1 offspring. Under the conditions of the test, the results of the study demonstrate that the silicone gel and the silicone-implant shell material do not have adverse effects on reproduction and development in Sprague Dawley rats | | 9. Genotoxicity - Salmonella Reverse Mutation Assay (Ames Test) | The purpose of this testing was to assess the potential of the finished implant to induce gene mutations. | A test was considered acceptable if for each strain: (1) the bacteria demonstrate their typical responses to crystal violet and ampicillin, (2) the control plates without S9 mix were within acceptable ranges, (3) corresponding background growth on both negative control and test plates, and (4) the positive control showed a distinct enhancement over the control plate. | The test materials did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frame shifts in the genome of the strains tested. The test article is considered non-mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay. | PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 10 {10} | Test | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Results | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10. Genotoxicity - In Vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test (HPRT-LOCUS) in Hamster V79 Cells | The purpose of the test was to assess the potential of the finished implant to induce cell gene mutations in V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster. | A test is considered to be negative if there is no concentration-related increase in the number of mutants. | The extract of the test materials did not induce gene mutations. The test article is considered to be non-mutagenic in this cell gene mutation test. | | 11. Genotoxicity - In Vitro Mammalian Chromosome Aberration Test in Chinese Hamster V79 Cells | The purpose of the test was to assess the potential of the finished implant to induce structural chromosome aberrations in V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster. | The chromosomal aberration assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria: (1) the number of aberration found in the negative and/or solvent controls falls within the range of historical laboratory control data: 0.00 %-4.50 %, and the positive control substances should produce significant increases in the number of cells with structural chromosome aberrations. | The extract of the test materials did not cause structural chromosome aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line. The test article is considered to be non-mutagenic in this chromosome aberration test. | | 12. Genotoxicity-Micronucleus Cytogenetic Assay in Mice | The purpose of the test was to assess the toxicity of corn and saline extracts of the finished device in the micronucleus assay following intraperitoneal administration in ICR mice. | Animals were assessed for reactions. | The extracts of the materials were determined to have no clastogenic activity. | | 13. Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogenicity | The carcinogenicity of the silicone elastomers and gel used in implant has been evaluated in a 2-year chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study in female Fischer 344 rats. | Animals were assessed for reactions. | The sterilized, cured elastomer and gel are non-toxic and non-carcinogenic | Table 5: Summary of Toxicology Data PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {11} C. Mechanical Data 1. Fatigue Testing Cyclic fatigue testing of the Silicone Gel Breast Implants was conducted to determine the number of cycles for various loads at which devices fail or rupture and the endurance load at which the devices do not fail. The testing was conducted in air at ambient temperature. Dry heat sterilized finished devices (80 cc smooth round moderate profile and textured round low profile) were tested. The implants were tested in the range of 1-2Hz at various loads to either run out (7 million cycles without rupture) or failure. Prediction intervals for cycles to failure were determined. Regression analysis predicts that smooth implants will achieve run out at greater than 33.0 lb load amplitude and that textured implants will achieve run out at greater than 46.2 lbs. The experimental data confirmed these predictions. 2. Gel Bleed Testing Intact implants were extraction tested in bovine calf serum to model the natural condition of the breast implant. The extracts were analyzed for the low molecular weight siloxanes (specifically the cyclic siloxanes D4-D21 and the linear siloxanes MD2M-MD19M) using either GC/FID or GC/MS and analyzed for platinum using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy with mass spectroscopy. The concentrations of the siloxanes in the extracts were compared with those identified in blank samples (serum incubated without an implant). The ranges of concentrations in the extraction samples were not statistically significantly different from those of the blank for the majority of the detectable siloxanes. Only two of the linear siloxanes (MD6M and MD16M) were determined to be significantly different from the blank concentrations. These siloxanes were measured at low levels, with maximum extractable concentrations of 0.6 and 0.01 µg/g implant. The platinum concentration measured in the serum extract was below the limit of detection. The scientific literature contains case reports of silicone gel migration in women with intact (non-ruptured) breast implants [4, 5] that identified silicone using H-localized spectroscopy in the liver of women with intact silicone gel-filled breast implants. There is no evidence of a health consequence associated with gel diffusion/bleed. Toxicological testing indicates that the silicone material used in Sientra Silicone Gel Breast Implants does not cause toxic reactions in test animals. 3. Gel Cohesion Testing Gel cohesivity and penetration testing were conducted to assess the cohesive and cure characteristics of silicone gel, respectively. Gel cohesion testing was conducted on final finished product to standard EN 12180:2000[6], and the samples met the requirements of the test. In-process penetrometer measurements of 425 silicone-gel mixtures performed over a 6-month period revealed that gel cohesion was consistent over time. PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 12 {12} D. Modes and Causes of Rupture Sientra provided numerous test reports and other information to characterize modes and causes of failure for its devices for a range of implantation times, such as failure analyses of retrieved devices (i.e., retrieval study), physical property testing, assessment of manufacturing processes and surgical techniques that may impact rupture, and a review of the explant literature. The Sientra Retrieval Study evaluated the physical characteristics and mechanical properties of the explants retrieved from the clinical study and analyzed the modes and causes of failure for study implants with failed or ruptured shells. In addition, Sientra analyzed the durability of the study implants to understand any potential correlations between the failed study implants and the conditions of implantation, mechanical properties, and clinical use of the implants over time. After careful laboratory testing and analysis of 97 retrieved study implants, ten were confirmed as having failed shells. Upon SEM microscopic analysis and comparison with the micrographs from an Induced Failure Characterization study characterizing instrument damage, it was determined that eight of the study implants with failed shells were damaged by surgical instruments. Two of the study implants with failed shells had unknown causes of failure; although, one of those implants was shown to have a shell layer separation, which is considered a manufacturing imperfection. However, it remains unknown whether this was the cause of failure. Analysis of the data from the durability studies showed that instrument damage at the time of surgery is the most common cause of failed-implant shells. The analysis of the potential association between the shell failure and factors that might predict implant failures showed no statistically significant association between the failed shells and any of the factors analyzed. The analysis also found no statistically significant correlation between the duration of implantation and any of the mechanical properties under consideration. Overall, evaluation and analysis of the implants retrieved from the clinical study showed that the implants do not change significantly during implantation; the shells are robust during implantation and shell damage is primarily caused by surgical instruments. There were no definitive correlations between implant failure and surgical parameters, implant characteristics, or patient variables. Sientra Silicone Gel Breast Implants are robust and durable for their intended use. E. Shelf Life Sientra’s shelf life testing was performed on both the smooth and textured devices (gel cohesion, tension set, shell/patch joint strength, ultimate elongation, and break force) and the package (thermoform dye penetration and peel seal strength). Accelerated and real time test results were used to establish the shelf life of the Sientra Silicone Gel Breast Implant. All device and package testing met the acceptance criteria set in the protocol. The data supported a 5-year shelf life for the Sientra Silicone Gel Breast Implant.

SUMMARY OF SIENTRA CLINICAL STUDY Sientra performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of breast augmentation, reconstruction and/or revision with Sientra Silicone Gel Breast Implants in the US under IDE #G010193. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. The study consists of data from the primary augmentation and revision- augmentation cohorts of the core study, as well as pooled data from Sientra’s Core and Continued Access studies for the primary reconstruction and revision-reconstruction cohorts. A summary of the clinical study is presented below. ## A. Study Design Patients were treated between November 11, 2002 and June 23, 2007. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through December 20, 2010. There were 36 investigational sites. The study is proposed as a 10-year open-label, prospective, multi-center clinical study. It assessed the safety and effectiveness of 1,788 patients implanted with 3,506 Sientra Silicone Gel Implants with at least 3-years of follow-up. There are 1,115 primary augmentation patients and 362 revision-augmentation patients. Of the 229 primary reconstruction patients in the study, 156 patients were from the core study and 73 were from the Continued Access study. Of the 82 revision-reconstruction patients enrolled in the study, 50 were from the core study and 32 were from the Continued Access study. ### 1. Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Enrollment in the study was limited to patients who met the following inclusion criteria: - Female - Age limitation per indication: - Primary/Revision Augmentation: Must be 18 years or older - Primary/Revision Reconstruction: No age limit - Adequate tissue available to cover implant(s) - Willingness to follow study requirements - Candidate for primary augmentation, primary reconstruction, or revision as defined below: - Primary Augmentation (severe ptosis, general breast enlargement, asymmetry) - Primary Reconstruction (post-mastectomy or lumpectomy/surgical removal of breast as a result of cancer or other disease; post-trauma: total or partial removal of breast(s) resulting in significant deformity (for any reason); congenital deformity or acquired discrepancy in breast size including but not limited to, pectus excavatum/carinatum, scoliosis, Poland’s Syndrome and tuberous breast; contralateral augmentation mammoplasty as a result of the affected breast requiring surgery, to provide symmetry) {14} PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 15 ○ Revision (women who require replacement of an existing breast implant where medical or surgical reasons exist) Patients were not permitted to enroll in the study if they met any of the following exclusion criteria: - Advanced fibrocystic disease, considered to be pre-malignant without mastectomy - Inadequate or unsuitable tissue (e.g., due to radiation damage, ulceration, compromised vascularity, history of compromised wound healing) - Active infection in the body at the time of surgery - Pregnant or lactating - Medical condition such as obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disease, chronic lung or severe cardiovascular disease that might result in unduly high surgical risk and/or significant postoperative complications - Use of drugs, including any drug that would interfere with blood clotting, that might result in high risk and/or significant postoperative complications - Demonstrated psychological characteristics that are unrealistic or unreasonable given the risks involved with the surgical procedure - Determination by physical examination that the subject has any connective tissue/autoimmune disorder, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus or scleroderma - Existing carcinoma of the breast without accompanying mastectomy - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is prohibited because of implanted metal device, claustrophobia, or other condition 2. Follow-up Schedule All patients were scheduled to return for follow-up examinations at 6-10 weeks, 1 year, 2 years, and annually through 10 years, postoperatively. Quality of Life assessments occur at baseline and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years. A subgroup of patients was scheduled to have MRIs to screen for silent rupture, beginning at year 3, continuing every other year through 10 years (MRI cohort). Adverse events and complications were recorded at all visits. {15} | Study | Follow-up Schedule | | --- | --- | | All Participants | 6-10 weeks | | | 1 year | | | 2 years | | | 3 years | | | 4 years | | | 5 years | | | 6 years | | | 7 years | | | 8 years | | | 9 years | | | 10 years | | MRI Cohort | Baseline, beginning at 3-years | | | Every other year through 10 years | Table 6: Follow-up schedule # 3. Clinical Endpoints The assessment of safety was based on the incidence of patient complications, including device ruptures and adverse device effects. The study collected data to make safety assessments including complication rates, reasons for reoperation, and reasons for implant removal. The study collected data to support assessments of effectiveness including circumferential chest-size change and bra cup-size change (primary augmentation patients only), patient satisfaction, and quality of life (QOL). QOL was assessed using three different survey tools: one measures self-esteem, one body image, and one measures general health over time. # 4. Statistical Analysis Plan The clinical study data collected was used to produce safety and effectiveness analyses. The risk of occurrence of safety endpoints (complications, reoperations, explantation) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier. Reoperations and explantations were analyzed to provide a frequency distribution of the reasons for the procedures, and a frequency distribution of the various reoperation procedures was produced. Effectiveness analyses include a comparison of pre-implantation to post-implantation bra/cup sizes, to assess anatomical change. Additionally, responses to the various quality of life scales (SF-36, Rosenberg Self Esteem, and Body Esteem) were tabulated for a comparison analysis between pre-implantation and post-implantation results. The results through 3 years are reported, although the study remains ongoing. Data will continue to be analyzed and reported to FDA at regular study intervals. In PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {16} addition, Sientra will periodically update labeling as more data and information become available. ## B.

Safety and Effectiveness Results # 1. Safety Results The analysis of safety was based on the Core study of 1,788 patients available for the 3 year evaluation. The key safety outcomes for this study are presented below in tables 12 to 15. # a. Complication Rates Table 12 shows the 3-year, by-patient, Kaplan-Meier (KM) risk rates of first occurrence (95% confidence interval) of complications for all four study cohorts. As shown in Table 12, the most common complications through 3 years in the primary augmentation cohort were reoperation (12.6%) and Baker Grade III/ IV capsular contracture (6.0%). The most common complications for the revision-augmentation, primary reconstruction and revision-reconstruction cohorts were reoperation (20.3%, 34.9% and 42.5%, respectively) and implant removal with or without replacement (11.4%, 24.8% and 30.3%, respectively). | KM Rates Through 3 Years | Primary Augmentation | Revision-Augmentation | Primary Reconstruction | Revision-Reconstruction | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | N=1,115 patients | N=362 patients | N=229 patients | N=82 patients | | Any complication (including reoperation) | 20.2% (17.9, 22.9) | 26.3% (21.8, 31.4) | 44.6% (38.1, 51.5) | 43.2% (32.8, 55.4) | | Any reoperation | 12.6% (10.7, 14.8) | 20.3% (16.3, 25.0) | 34.9% (28.9, 41.8) | 42.5% (32.0, 54.8) | | Implant removal with or without replacement | 5.8% (4.5, 7.5) | 11.4% (8.4, 15.4) | 24.8% (19.5, 31.3) | 30.3% (21.0, 42.4) | | Any cosmetic complication | 10.1% (8.4, 12.1) | 17.1% (13.4, 21.7) | 29.7% (23.9, 36.5) | 33.7% (24.0, 46.1) | | Any non-cosmetic (including re-operation) | 15.0% (12.9, 17.4) | 16.1% (12.5, 20.6) | 29.3% (23.5, 36.2) | 24.9% (16.1, 37.2) | | Asymmetry | 1.1% (0.6, 2.0) | 1.8% (0.8, 4.0) | 8.7% (5.5, 13.7) | 7.1% (3.0, 16.2) | | Breast mass/cyst/lump | 0.3% (0.1, 1.0) | 0% | 1.0% (0.3, 4.0) | 3.1% (0.8, 11.9) | | Breast pain | 0.8% (0.4, 1.6) | 0.9% (0.3, 2.9) | 2.6% (1.1, 6.1) | 1.4% (0.2, 9.3) | PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {20} | KM Rates Through 3 Years | Primary Augmentation | Revision-Augmentation | Primary Reconstruction | Revision-Reconstruction | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | N=1,115 patients | N=362 patients | N=229 patients | N=82 patients | | Bruising | | 0.1% (0.0, 0.7) | 0.3% (0.0, 2.0) | 0.4% (0.1, 3.1) | 0% | | Capsular contracture (Baker Grade III/IV) | | 6.0% (4.7, 7.7) | 5.2% (3.2, 8.4) | 8.8% (5.5, 13.8) | 6.8% (2.9, 15.7) | | Capsule calcification | | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | | Delayed wound healing | | 0.2% (0.1, 0.7) | 0.6% (0.1, 2.3) | 1.9% (0.7, 5.0) | 0% | | Hematoma | | 0.8% (0.4, 1.6) | 0.9% (0.3, 2.6) | 0.4% (0.1, 3.1) | 0% | | Hypertrophic/abnormal scarring | | 0.6% (0.3, 1.3) | 0.7% (0.2, 2.7) | 2.7% (1.1, 6.3) | 3.1% (0.8, 11.8) | | Implant extrusion | | 0.1% (0.0, 0.8) | 0.6% (0.2, 2.3) | 1.5% (0.5, 4.5) | 0% | | Implant malposition | | 1.2% (0.7, 2.1) | 3.2% (1.7, 5.9) | 3.0% (1.4, 6.6) | 5.5% (2.1, 14.1) | | Implant palpability | | 0% | 0.3% (0.0, 2.1) | 0.5% (0.1, 3.1) | 0% | | Implant visibility | | 0.2% (0.1, 0.9) | 0.6% (0.2, 2.3) | 1.0% (0.3, 4.1) | 0% | | Implant rupture | MRI Cohort | 2.5% (1.1, 5.5) | 0% | 0% | 0% | | | Non-MRI cohort | 0% | 0.4% (0.1, 2.9) | 0% | 0% | | Infection | | 0.7% (0.3, 1.5) | 1.2% (0.4, 3.1) | 5.1% (2.8, 9.0) | 1.2% (0.2, 8.4) | | Irritation | | 0% | 0.4% (0.1, 2.6) | 0.4% (0.1, 3.1) | 0% | | Lymphadenopathy | | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | | Lymphedema | | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | | Necrosis | | 0% | 0.3% (0.0, 2.0) | 0.4% (0.1, 3.1) | 0% | | Nipple complications (not related to sensation) | | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | | Nipple sensation changes | | 3.2% (2.3, 4.6) | 1.4% (0.5, 3.7) | 2.0% (0.8, 5.4) | 0% | | Other complications | | 0.6% (0.3, 1.3) | 0.7% (0.2, 2.7) | 1.1% (0.3, 4.4) | 0% | | Pneumothorax | | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | | Ptosis | | 1.8% (1.1, 2.8) | 0.7% (0.2, 2.6) | 2.0% (0.8, 5.3) | 0% | | Redness | | 0.3% (0.1, 0.9) | 0.7% (0.2, 2.6) | 3.0% (1.4, 6.6) | 0% | | Seroma/fluid accumulation | | 0.6% (0.3, 1.4) | 1.2% (0.5, 3.3) | 2.4% (1.0, 5.8) | 1.3% (0.2, 8.7) | | Skin rash | | 0% | 0% | 0.5% (0.1, 3.6) | 0% | | Skin sensation changes | | 0.4% (0.2, 1.1) | 0.3% (0.0, 2.0) | 0.9% (0.2, 3.5) | 0% | | Swelling | | 0.5% (0.2, 1.1) | 0.7% (0.2, 2.6) | 2.0% (0.7, 5.2) | 0% | | Upper pole fullness | | 0.1% (0.0, 0.9) | 0% | 0.6% (0.1, 3.9) | 0% | | Wrinkling/ripping | | 0.5% (0.2, 1.2) | 2.4% (1.2, 4.8) | 1.1% (0.3, 4.3) | 1.5% (0.2, 9.8) | Table 12: K-M Risk Rates (95% CI) Though 3 Years b.

Table 14: Main Reason for Reoperation d. Other Clinical Safety Outcomes The following is a summary of the clinical findings from the study with regard to connective tissue disease (CTD), CTD signs and symptoms, cancer, reproductive complications, lactation complications, and suicide. CTD Diagnoses CTD diagnoses can include such diseases as fibromyalgia, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), discoid lupus, and scleroderma. Among primary augmentation patients, through Year 3, two patients (0.2%) report confirmed CTDs, which are one case of fibromyalgia and one case of rheumatoid arthritis. Among revision-augmentation patients, through Year 3, one patient (0.3%) reported a confirmed CTD, which is fibromyalgia. Among primary reconstruction patients and revision-reconstruction patients, through Year 3, there are no confirmed CTD diagnoses. CTD Signs and Symptoms CTD signs and symptoms are collected every-other year (even years) throughout the study. Among the pooled primary augmentation and revision-augmentation patients, a statistically significant increase in the risk for CTD signs and symptoms was found in only 2 of the 13 CTD sign/symptom categories: pain and fibromyalgia, for which the statistical significance is driven by the prevalence of low back pain in both categories. Among the pooled reconstruction and revision-reconstruction patients, a significant PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {23} increase was found in only 1 of the 13 CTD signs/symptom categories: EENT, for which the statistical significance is driven by report of dry eyes. These increases in the two cohorts were not found to be related to simply getting older. ## Cancer For primary augmentation patients, through 3 years, there are two cases of breast cancer identified and no cases of fibrocystic breast disease. Diagnoses of any other (non-breast) cancers have been reported in 6 patients (less than 1%) in the augmentation cohort through 3 years. For revision-augmentation patients, through 3 years, there is one case of breast cancer identified and no cases of fibrocystic breast disease. Diagnoses of any other (non-breast) cancers have been reported in 1 patient (0.3%) in the revision-augmentation cohort through 3 years. For primary reconstruction patients, through 3 years, there are no cases of breast cancer or fibrocystic breast disease identified. Diagnoses of any other (non-breast) cancers have been reported in 7 patients (3%) in the primary reconstruction cohort through 3 years. For revision-reconstruction patients, through 3 years, there are two cases of breast cancer identified and no cases of fibrocystic breast disease. Diagnoses of any other (non-breast) cancers have been reported in 1 patient (1.2%) in the revision-reconstruction cohort through 3 years. ## Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma There were no reports of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in any of the patient cohorts. ## Lactation Complications There are 150 primary augmentation patients reporting at least one postoperative live birth. Of these women, 88.7% report no difficulties with lactation. Twelve women (8%) reported postoperative lactation difficulties through 3 years. Of the 39 revision-augmentation patients experiencing at least one postoperative live birth, 2 (5%) reported postoperative lactation difficulties through 3 years. There are 16 primary reconstruction patients experiencing at least one postoperative live birth, and none (0%) reported lactation difficulties through 3 years. The one revision-reconstruction patient who experienced at least one postoperative live birth, reported no difficulties with lactation. ## Reproduction Complications Potential reproductive complications include miscarriage, preterm labor, and stillbirth. PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 24 {24} Of the 1,115 patients in the primary augmentation cohort, 15 (1.3%) reported postoperative pregnancy difficulties through 3 years. Of the 362 patients in the revision-augmentation cohort, four (1.1%) reported postoperative pregnancy difficulties. Of the 229 patients in the primary reconstruction cohort, 2 (0.9%) report postoperative difficulties through 3 years. Of the 82 patients in the revision-reconstruction cohort, none (0%) had postoperative difficulties. ## Suicide There are no reports of suicides in any of the patient cohorts. ## e. Cumulative Risk for Occurrence of Each Complication at Each Follow-Up Assessment Point The cumulative risk for first occurrence of each complication at each follow-up assessment point is presented in Table 15 below. The KM risk rates are presented by cohort for the 6 week, Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 assessment points. The table begins with the cumulative risk of “Any Complication”, followed by each complication in alphabetical order. | Complication | Study Cohort | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Primary

Risk Factor Analysis A risk factor analysis was performed to determine whether there were any risk factors associated with the reported complications. The results of this analysis show that: - No significant risk factors were associated with implant rupture. - Device surface and placement were identified as risk factors for capsular contracture in augmentation patients. Both textured devices and submuscular device placement were found to be protective against capsular contracture; both PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data {28} attributes were found to be associated with less capsular contracture than their counterparts (smooth-shelled devices and subglandular placement). - In the reconstruction cohort, patient age at implantation was shown to be a risk factor for infection, reoperation and explantation. Older patients in this cohort have a higher risk of experiencing infection, reoperation, and explantation. - In the revision-augmentation cohort, smooth shell surface was identified as a risk factor for reoperation; patients who received smooth-shelled implants were more likely to undergo a reoperation. ## 2. Effectiveness Results The analysis of effectiveness was based on the 1,788 evaluable patients at the 3 year time point. Effectiveness was assessed by bra cup-size change, circumferential chest size measurement, SF-36 subscale and aggregate scores (at baseline, 1 year post-surgery, and 2 years post-surgery), and scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Body Esteem Scale (at baseline, 1 year post-surgery, and 2 years post-surgery). ## Primary Augmentation Patients For primary augmentation patients, 91% of patients increased their bra cup-size by at least one cup size (81% of patients increased their bra cup size by one to two cups, while 10% gained more than two cup sizes). Only 6% of patients achieved less than a one-cup size increase. The change is unknown for 3% of patients. The majority of primary augmentation patients report favorable satisfaction results at Year 2 after their implant surgery. Over 90% of patients agreed that their breast implants make them feel more feminine (94%) and more attractive (92%). In addition, 85% of patients agreed that their breast implants made them feel better about themselves. For all eight subscales and at all time points, including Baseline, the mean SF-36 QOL scores are significantly higher for the study population compared to the general female population, indicating that patients in the study who chose to undergo breast augmentation have a higher QOL than the average U.S. woman. Comparisons of Baseline QOL scores to scores at Year 2 show no clinically significant changes. There were a number of statistically significant decreases in the quality of life scales. However, effect sizes were small or very small and therefore the observed changes were judged not to be clinically relevant. Primary augmentation patients reported high self-esteem scores at all time points, as measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The mean total scores at Baseline and Year 2 remained above 25. Scores between 15 and 25 are considered to be within normal range, with higher scores indicating more positive feelings. PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 29 {29} Mean scores on the Body Esteem Scale and subscales showed no clinically significant change from Baseline to Year 2 among women in the primary augmentation cohort. Scores are relatively high at baseline and remained high postoperatively. ## Revision-Augmentation Patients Revision-augmentation patients did not undergo a measurement of breast cup size change because they were undergoing replacement of an existing breast implant. The majority of revision-augmentation patients in this study report favorable satisfaction results at Year 2 after their implant surgery. Most patients agreed that their breast implants make them feel more feminine (90%) and more attractive (89%). In addition, 82% of patients agreed that their breast implants made them feel better about themselves. For all eight subscales and at all time points, including Baseline, the mean SF-36 QOL scores are significantly higher for the study population compared to the general female population, indicating that patients in the study who chose to undergo revision-augmentation have a higher QOL than the average U.S. woman. Comparisons of Baseline QOL scores to scores at Year 2 show no clinically significant changes. There were a number of statistically significant decreases in the quality of life scales. However, effect sizes were small or very small and therefore the observed changes were judged not to be clinically relevant. Revision-augmentation patients reported high self-esteem scores at all time points, as measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The mean total scores at Baseline and Year 2 remained above 25. Scores between 15 and 25 are considered to be within normal range, with higher scores indicating more positive feelings. Mean scores on the Body Esteem Scale and subscales showed no clinically significant change from Baseline to Year 2. Scores are relatively high at baseline and remained high postoperatively. ## Primary Reconstruction Patients The majority of primary reconstruction patients in this study report favorable satisfaction results at Year 2 after their implant surgery. Most women agreed that their breast implants make them feel more feminine (79%) and more attractive (77%). In addition, the majority of women indicated that their breast implants made them feel better about themselves (72%). For all eight subscales and at all time points, including Baseline, the mean SF-36 QOL scores were significantly higher for the study population compared to the general female population, indicating that patients in the study who chose to undergo breast augmentation have a higher QOL than the average U.S. woman. For primary reconstruction patients, comparison of baseline QOL scores to scores at Year 2 showed PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 30 {30} no clinically significant changes. There were a number of statistically significant decreases in the quality of life scales. However, effect sizes were small or very small and therefore the observed changes were judged not to be clinically relevant. For primary reconstruction patients, mean total scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale at Baseline and Year 2 remained above 25. Scores between 15 and 25 are considered to be within normal range, with higher scores indicating more positive feelings. Scores for the Body Esteem Scale and subscales showed no clinically significant change from Baseline to Year 2 among women in the primary reconstruction cohort. Scores were relatively high at baseline and remained high postoperatively. ## Revision-Reconstruction Patients The majority of revision-reconstruction patients in this study report favorable satisfaction results at Year 2 after their implant surgery. The study showed that most women felt their breast implants made them feel more feminine (76%) and feel more attractive (76%). In addition, the majority of women indicated that their breast implants made them feel better about themselves (73%). For all eight subscales and at all time points, including Baseline, the mean SF-36 QOL scores were higher for the study population compared to the general female population. Comparisons of Baseline QOL scores to scores at Year 2 show no clinically significant changes in the second year as compared to baseline. There were a number of statistically significant decreases in the quality of life scales. However, effect sizes were small or very small and therefore the observed changes were judged not to be clinically relevant. For revision-reconstruction patients, mean total scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale at Baseline and Year 2 remained above 25. Scores between 15 and 25 are considered to be within normal range, with higher scores indicating more positive feelings. Scores for the Body Esteem Scale and subscales showed no clinically significant change from Baseline to Year 2 among women in the revision-reconstruction cohort. Scores were relatively high at baseline and remained high postoperatively. ## XI. RUPTURE RATE AND CONSEQUENCES OF RUPTURE To assess the rupture rate and the consequences of rupture, FDA performed an extensive review of all available clinical and preclinical data. The clinical data included (a) the Sientra Clinical Study which includes a serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cohort, (b) the Long-Term Rupture Prevalence Study from an different international study, and (c) and the published literature. The preclinical data related to rupture included the retrieval study and fatigue testing. PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 31 {31} PMA P070004: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data page 32 # A. Clinical Study Sientra’s Study included rupture rate data from the MRI Cohort and the non-MRI Cohort. The study MRI Cohort is a randomized group of patients from the study population selected to undergo serial MRI screening at 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 years to assess rates of silent rupture over time. There were 383 patients successfully contacted to participate in the MRI Cohort and one patient was found to be deceased. Thirty-two patients were excluded due to claustrophobia or having had their study implants removed, leaving 351 patients available to undergo screening MRIs. A total of 230 primary augmentation patients from the MRI Cohort underwent MRI screening; 98.5% of implants (97.4% of patients) have no evidence of rupture. Through Year 3, there are two confirmed (via explant surgery) and five unconfirmed implant ruptures occurring in six patients. The 3-year risk of rupture was 1.5% by implant and 2.5% by patient. In the case of the two confirmed ruptured implants via surgery, no extracapsular gel or gel migration was found. A total of 74 revision-augmentation patients from the MRI Cohort underwent MRI screening and no evidence of rupture was found. In the non-MRI Cohort, there is one confirmed implant rupture occurring in one patient through Year 3. The 3-year risk of rupture among revision-augmentation patients in the Non-MRI Cohort is 0.2% by implant and 0.4% by patient. In the case of the confirmed ruptured, no extracapsular gel or gel migration was found. This patient did not undergo an MRI prior to explantation. A total of 34 primary reconstruction patients from the MRI Cohort underwent MRI screening; 98.4% of implants (97.1% of MRI cohort patients) have no evidence of rupture. Through Year 3, there is one unconfirmed implant rupture. The 3-year risk of rupture is 1.4% by implant and 2.8% by patient. No ruptures are reported in the Non-MRI Cohort. One implant was suspected of being ruptured, but it was confirmed intact at explantation. A total of 7 revision-reconstruction patients (12 implants) from the MRI Cohort underwent MRI screening and no evidence of rupture was found. Through Year 3, there are no confirmed or unconfirmed implant ruptures. Table 16 below presents a summary of the MRIs conducted prior to explantation for suspected rupture. Among other things, the table includes the reason for undergoing the MRI and the rupture status of the device upon explantation. As seen in the table, two patients underwent MRI before explantation. Both patients had their implants removed due to suspected rupture. One patient’s MRI results were consistent with the explant findings while the other patient’s MRI results were not consistent with explant findings, indicating a false positive MRI reading. {32} | Indication | MRI Cohort | Reason for MRI | Result of MRI | Reason for Implant Removal | Rupture Confirmation Status (via Implant) | Rupture Confirmation Status (via Retrieval Study) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Primary Augmentation | Yes | Screening MRI | Definitive intracapsular rupture bilaterally | Suspected rupture (asymptomatic) | Confirmed intracapsular rupture bilaterally | Confirmed bilateral rupture | | Primary Reconstruction | No | Diagnostic MRI after injury to chest area | Suspected intracapsular rupture of left implant | Suspected rupture (symptomatic) | Confirmed non-ruptured | No, confirmed non-ruptured | Table 16: MRI Screenings Conducted Prior to Explanation # B. Long-Term Rupture Prevalence Study The Long-Term Rupture Prevalence Study, a multicenter study conducted in four states in Brazil examined 274 implants in 140 women and assessed the rate of asymptomatic (or "silent") rupture in patients who received Silicone Gel Breast Implants between 1990 and 2000. Overall, the long-term prevalence of rupture in the study is $7.7\%$ by implant and $12.1\%$ by patient, with a median implantation age of 14.4 years. In comparison, those implants with no evidence of rupture suspected via MRI have a median duration of 10.2 years. These data support the low rate of rupture found in Sientra's Clinical Study and suggests that even over the long-term, over 14 years, Sientra's Silicone Gel Breast Implants have a relatively low rate of rupture. # C. Literature A number of investigations have been conducted to examine the prevalence of rupture in patients with silicone gel breast implants of a variety of designs. The recent data suggest that for the most current implant designs, at a mean implantation time of approximately 10 years, the overall rupture rate for silicone gel-filled breast implants is less than $10\%$ of implants. Heden et al. [7] examined 199 Inamed silicone breast implants (styles 40, 110, and 120) implanted in 106 women and reported that at a mean implantation time of 10.9 years, 183 $(92\%)$ of implants showed no evidence of rupture, 12 $(6\%)$ showed evidence of rupture, and four $(2\%)$ were indeterminate. Spear et al. [8] reported that at 6 years, the by-implant rupture rate for 715 female subjects in the Inamed clinical study of silicone gel-filled breast implants was $3.5\%$ . Cunningham et al. [9] reported the results at 3 years for the Mentor clinical study on silicone Memory Gel breast implants. For the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cohort, the suspected rupture rates were $0.5\%$ of patients for primary augm…
