Surface
For the Standard line of breast implants, Silimed offers two surface options: True Texture and Smooth.
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
SMOOTH
Smooth-surface breast implants, on the other hand, consist of mechanically resistant silicone elastomer shell, with a low-bleed treatment, which contributes to less gel transudation.
