Surface
Studies indicate that the type of implant surface can directly influence the outcome of the procedure. Silimed offers two surface
options for breast implants:
PURE POLYURETHANE
- Low rate of capsular contracture of 1% in 10 years.¹
- The 3D collagen matrix formed interwoven within the polyurethane foam causes a Velcro-like adhesion.²
- Its adhesion ability reduces the risk of rotation and displacement.²
TRUE TEXTURE
- Own texturing method with formation of open pores in the shell, without using negative printing, sugar or sodium chloride.
- Low risk rate of capsular contracture of 8,7% in 9 years.³ Other manufacturers report rates of up to 17% over 10 years in primary breast augmentation surgery.⁴
