Currently enrolled or has plans to enroll in another clinical study that would interfere with this study, unless it is a retrospective or observational study. 22. Is pregnant or plans to become pregnant during the study period. 23. Known allergy to tetracycline hydrochloride and kanamycin sulfate. 24. Any condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, would preclude the use of the study device, interfere with the evaluation of the device or breast related outcomes. 25.

Has, in the investigator's opinion, a mental illness or disability that would preclude their participation in the study. 29. Subject has an implant that was never commercially available in the United States (had their breast augmentation in another country) 30. Has been implanted with any silicone implant other than breast implants. 31. Is taking any drugs that would interfere with blood clotting or might result in elevated risk of significant postoperative complications. 32. Works for Sponsor or any of their subsidiaries, the study surgeon, or is helping to conduct the study or are directly related to anyone that works for BD or any of their subsidiaries or the study surgeons. -

Capsular contracture is the number one complication leading to revision surgery after breast augmentation(2-4) which has been commonly cited as impacting 10 to 20% of all breast augmentation patients.(5-10) A prospective, randomized controlled study of patients presenting with Baker grade III or IV capsular contracture will be undertaken to investigate the ability of P4HB (specifically GalaFLEX LITE™ Scaffold) to reduce the recurrence of clinically significant CC and/or malposition requiring surgical correction. The primary endpoint is a composite of capsular contracture recurrence and/or breast implant malposition recommended for surgery OR breast infections requiring oral or IV antibiotic treatment within 90 days of surgery and/or peri-implant fluid collection needing a drainage procedure within 10-90 days of surgery.
