Is it true that overfilled and/or smooth implants have less risk of rippling? I am choosing between Mentor siltex round and have been looking into smooth round xtra, are both of these max filled implants? And how big is the risk of getting cancer from textured implants/ how big is the risk of getting capsular contracture from smooth implants?
