The 10-Year GLOW Study

That’s why we’re sponsoring a 10-year post-approval study, and we need your help to collect important data on the long-term performance of both our MemoryShape® and MemoryGel® Breast Implants.

Our Commitment to Supporting Breast Implant Surveillance
Glow study investigators are strongly encouraged to submit data to two breast implant registries created and supported in collaboration by the Plastic Surgery Foundation and the FDA.

The National Breast Implant Registry (NBIR) collects clinical, procedural and outcomes data at the time of operation and any subsequent reoperations for all US patients receiving breast implants.

The Patient Registry and Outcomes for breast Implants and anaplastic large cell Lymphoma (ALCL) etiology and Epidemiology (PROFILE) collects retrospective and prospective data on confirmed cases of primary ALCL (including localized or systemic disease, and of any anatomic site and ALCL cell phenotype) in women with breast implants.
