Can Truform 3 silicone cause problems?

Question

Can the truform 3 implant cause problems ? Snoopy boob? Waterfall? Do they stay very very firm? Do they take longer to drop and fluff?

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Hello, based on my experience with Truform III implants, I haven't noticed an increased incidence of the snoopy/waterfall deformity. This shape can result from any saline or silicone breast implant placed in a subpectoral pocket.  I also haven't noticed they take longer to drop.   They are certainly firmer than Truform I or II implants, most patients don't complain that they feel excessively firm.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

If your own breast tissue drops and the implant does not, this will cause the waterfall deformity.  this can happen with any implant, but may be more noticeable with the higher profile implants. If this happens, you need a lift.  Higher profile implants can take longer to settle, especially those under the muscle.
