The Health Considerations: Why Smooth Implants Are the Safer Option
When considering breast augmentation, health should always be a top priority. Smooth implants, while offering a natural feel and aesthetic appeal, also come with a lower risk of complications compared to their textured counterparts. As new information about implant safety continues to emerge, it’s essential to understand how smooth implants can better serve your health needs.
Textured implants were initially developed to help prevent capsular contracture, a condition where scar tissue hardens around the implant. The surface of textured implants encouraged tissue to attach to the implant more securely, aiming to reduce this complication. However, research has uncovered a significant health risk associated with these implants—Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL), a rare form of cancer linked to textured implants, particularly from brands like Biocell. This discovery has led to the recall of many textured implants, making many patients reconsider their options.
In contrast, smooth implants have not been linked to ALCL and are considered a safer option for the majority of patients. Dr. Joel Studin, a leading plastic surgeon with decades of experience, recommends smooth implants because they carry fewer health risks while delivering equally natural-looking results. His expertise ensures that patients receive implants tailored to their specific needs, with a focus on both safety and aesthetics.
Dr. Studin’s approach combines cutting-edge technology with years of experience to offer patients a procedure that prioritizes their health and appearance. By carefully considering both the aesthetic results and potential risks, he helps his patients make informed decisions about their breast augmentation.
If you’re considering breast implants, it’s essential to choose a safe and reliable option. Smooth implants offer the best balance of beauty and safety, with a lower risk of complications. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Studin to discuss which implant is right for you and to begin your journey toward a more confident and healthier version of yourself.
