Finding it hard to decide if Polytech Replicon Microthane coated implants are a good idea?

I have been for my consultation for a breast augmentation in the UK and my cosmetic surgeon who is top in the list for my area suggested I have the polytech replicon shaped microthane implants. Also known as "fuzzys" or "foam coated" she said their is less chance of capsule contracture occouring and that I would only ever need to change them if they rupture which is highly unlikely. I have since done a lot of research and see that they were banned in the US & were band in the UK in the early 90s
