Cover
and interior
The cover and the interior
of the implant are composed of
different materials; the cover is made from a particularly
resistant silicon, while the filler is made, most frequently,
of silicone, cohesive silicone, saline, and hydrogel wadding. After decades of use, silicone implants have proven to be
the best and by far the most used implants worldwide. Some
refinements such as to the textured surface and the new
cohesive silicon have contributed to this development.
Surface
The textured surface represents an important factor of
quality. It improves the stability of the implant (reducing
the risk of complications) and leads to better comfort and
higher safety for the woman.
Frequent question: How dangerous is a Capsule
Contracture ?
A mild capsule contracture occurs
fairly frequently with breast implants. Depending upon the
individual, the probability of a mild CC with modern
implants is between 5-10%. A corrective operation is needed only in exceptional
cases (in 1-2% of patients).
