A. Silicone implants have been around a long time, long enough to have been thoroughly tried, tested and repeatedly improved. The textured variety has been shown to produce a markedly reduced rate of hardening or capsular contracture and these are the ones recommended.

Q. What are the complications of the procedure ?

A. Scarring and capsular contracture can occur apart from any others which will be discussed at your consultation. Unfortunately every cut in the body is repaired by scar tissue. The extent to which you will scar depends, not only on surgical technique but on your particular skin characteristics. Capsular contracture occurs much less commonly now with the new, improved textured variety of implant used. Both conditions are treatable. A full discussion takes place at consultation with your surgeon. Ring 01392 874724 for an appointment.
