in your experience what is the percentage of incidence of capsular contracture with smooth implants? I was very surprised to discover that in the US they are much more frequently used than in Europe.

Answer: Do smooth implants really increase the risk of capsular contracture compared to textured? There are many factors, besides type of breast implant utilize, that determine the risk of capsular contracture. As long as breast implants are placed in the sub muscular (duel plane) position, the incidence of encapsulation is the same, regardless of the surface coating (smooth versus texture) of the breast implants. I hope this helps.

Answer: Smooth implants and contracture Thanks for your question! I've never seen smooth implants have a higher rate of contracture in my practice. That being said, I only place smooth anyway and my contracture rate is very low. Patients that present with textured implants don't seem to have any lower rate than those presenting with smooth. Best of luck!
