I am having a MM with a lift and sub-muscular implants. I have read that there is a decreased risk of CC when textured implants are used. Unfortunately textured implants have an increased risk of lymphoma and while rare, I am wondering if it is worth it to further decrease the risk of CC. This will effect which implant line I choose as the Mentor Boost is only available in smooth. The Mentor Xtra however does come in textured. I was wondering what the best option is?
Answer: Textured The risk of capsule formation is still fairly low even with smooth implants. The textured implants carry other risks, including late seroma, and higher breakage rates than smooth. I only use smooth implants.

Answer: Breast implant textured Hello, thank you for your question. Textured implants have been removed from the market in most parts of north America. It is unclear whether or not the texture decreases the risk of capsular contracture. Theoretically they always thought it should however statistically is a marginal difference. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns.

Answer: Mommy makeover with textured vs smooth implants It is true that textured implants may reduce the risk of capsular contracture, and, yes, the risk of ALCL with textured implants is exceedingly low (as low as 1 in 30,000). However, this is still a developing area of investigation. Remember that implant texture is not the only variable that can impact CC rates, and you can optimize your risk by optimizing all other factors and still choose a smooth implant. Other factors such as incision location, implant plane (under the muscle vs on top), use of an implant funnel, surgical technique, aseptic use, etc. all factor into capsular contracture rates. When choosing an implant, discuss with your plastic surgeon your goals and which type of implant would best achieve those goals.

Answer: Texture implants Textured implants do not reduce your risk of cc in the subpectoral position. What will reduce your risk of CC is what your surgeon does in the operating room. The use of an inframammary incision, all electrocautery dissection to create a subpectoral pocket, irrigation with Betadine solution, implant delivery through a dedicated funnel, and watertight closure of the implant pocket prior to beginning of the breast lift will minimize the risk of cc.
