In breast augmentation, the choice of the most suitable prosthesis for the patient's body is fundamental and there are different types of breast prostheses available on the market.
In some specific cases, for example in the presence of severe capsular contractures or when it is necessary to use prostheses that have greater stability, I use prostheses covered in polyurethane foam.
To guarantee safety and quality to my patients, I have chosen Silimed as the brand, a brand that produces breast implants that are structurally very similar to those in silicone gel, with the main difference that their external surface is covered with a particular layer of polyurethane foam. The main purpose of this surface is to minimize the risk of capsular contracture formation.
Thanks to this coating, in fact, Silimed prostheses guarantee optimal adherence to the tissues and, therefore, greater stability and, compared to traditional prostheses, an almost zero risk of capsular contracture.

Studies indicate that the type of implant surface can directly influence the outcome of the surgery.
Silimed offers two surface options for breast implants:

PURE POLYURETHANE
Low capsular contracture rate of 1% over 10 years.
The polyurethane coating prevents rotation.
Its velcro effect is effective in patients suffering from ptosis.

TRUE TEXTURES
Patented texturing method with the formation of open pores on the membrane without the use of negative printing, sugar or sodium chloride.
Low capsular contracture rate of 8% in 9 years³. Other manufacturers report rates as high as 17% over 10 years in clinical trials.

I would like to underline that I use this type of prosthesis only in specific cases:
• following severe capsular contractures;
• in patients who, for various reasons, need a particularly stable prosthesis, without the risk of it moving or turning;
• when, having to use an anatomical prosthesis, I need to minimize the risk of rotation.

projections
BioDesign implants offer the greatest projection on the market and perfect distribution of volume vs. base:
• 4 Projections (LO, MD, HI, XH) for each base of the system.
• Point of greatest projection (measure C) and longest arc length (measure D) compared to competing implants with approximate implant bases.
• Point of greatest projection (measure C) and longest arc length (measure D) compared to competing implants with approximate implant bases.
• For competing brands to have the same projection, they must increase base size and implant volume.
• Better distribution of volumes to avoid mechanical complications of an excessively heavy implant in the long term.
• Better distribution of volumes to avoid mechanical complications of an excessively heavy implant in the long term.
Their composition helps to reduce the osmosis of silicone as the shell is made up of an internal layer of elastomer that is particularly impervious to silicone oils.
It is scientifically proven that the surface covered with polyurethane foam significantly reduces the occurrence of capsular contracture. The polyurethane coating also allows for better interaction between the implant and the surrounding tissue. The formation of microcapsules around the polyurethane particles causes the contracture force to cease to have a single orientation and by having multiple vectors, this force tends to cancel out, reducing capsular contracture.
