PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During operation only

Population: 21 subjects were enrolled. Study procedures were performed per breast, therefore, each subject had one breast in the prineo arm and the other breast in the suture arm = a total 42 breasts.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 1 year

Population: 21 subjects were enrolled. Study procedures were performed per breast, therefore, each subject had one breast in the prineo arm and the other breast in the suture arm = a total 42 breasts.

The subject will complete the subjective part of the Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) at each post-operative time point. Total score ranges from 6 to 60, with a higher score indicating a worse scar.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Up to 1 year

Population: 21 subjects were enrolled. Study procedures were performed per breast, therefore, each subject had one breast in the prineo arm and the other breast in the suture arm = a total 42 breasts.

A blinded plastic surgeon will evaluate objective scar quality using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). Range of scores is from 0-13 with a higher score indicative of a worse scar.
