Weighing the risks with textured implants?

November 6, 2023

I am an overthinker. That said, can you help me weigh the pros and cons? Two different European board cert drs have recommended textured implants to me. Text Imp have a lower % of developing capsular contracture. On the minus there is a low chance of developing BIA-ALCL. 1 in 1 mil vs 1 in 100 mil of women without implants. Smooth imp have a higher chance of capsular contracture and no cases of BIA-ALCL- yet the cancer is from a type of caps contra from my understanding. In Holland doctors still use text imp because of the low risk of capsular contracture. It's a lot to think about. Help.
