What does the breast implant look like?
The implant is formed with an outer pocket made from polymerized silicone gum, which is very firm and elastic. The pocket contains one more inner layer, which guarantees a higher resistance to rupture and the minimum permeability of particles. The surface can be smooth, although at present implants with textured surface are preferred. They have pores of a certain size and depth and now also have a smaller risk of capsular contracture creation. A titanium film may be on the surface of the implant (which lends itself to good tolerance with the body) or polyurethane. Inside the pocket there is soft cohesive silicone gel, saline, combination of both or even one of the other substances mentioned above. The cohesiveness of silicone gel particles enables the implant to keep its shape, lowers the risk of permeability of silicone micro-particles through the pocket and avoids the possible leakage of silicone in the event the cover ruptures. The silicone gel filled implant is used most often beca
