Polyurethane implants yes or no???

Hello

This is my first post so would really appreciate some advice/opinions....

I'm booked in on 3rd of March for my BA. My surgeon went through the different  types/makes of implants and because I was worried about cc he thought the polytech polyurethane implants would be an option. I was happy with this until he mentioned the test on rats who then got cancer. He stated there is no proven link but for some reason I can't get it out of my head. 

I have done my research and am pretty sure I will go with these but can any one who has had them let me know there thoughts? Problems? 

I will be  having 315cc overs round high profile

Huge thanks in advance xx  

Hi   

Who's your surgeon Hun? X

Hi and welcome hun :) the implants you mention are really highly rated, but the surgeon that places them has to be specially trained. So long as your surgeon is competant and happy with placing that choice of implant you should be fine :) xx

Hi mrsball, my surgeon is jonathan Staiano. 

Thanks for that info gleaming

Not sure why your surgeon would have said that Amy   

In 1991 Polyeurothane breast implants were removed from the market due a cancer 'scare'. In 2005 they were reintroduced after extensive research saw absolutely no links to cancer at all hun so they are indeed a VERY safe implant and one that many BAAPS surgeons are now turning to as their number one implant to use!

They've only recently started being used again in the UK (we've only seen them on here in the last 2 years, but more so the last year) and due to these implants requiring great skill in placing them because their polyeurothane coating embeds itself into the breast tissue immediately meaning placement has to be very precise so training to place these implants needs to be done before surgeons are able to use them. So if they are your choice, as Gleaming suggested - do be sure your surgeon has worked with them before and has had training to place them. 

They really are an excellent choice of implant though and have the lowest Capsular Contracture rate of all implants we have on the market right now. 

The only real downside to the polyeurothanes is that they will take a little longer than the textured implants to fully soften up, so this is something you'd need to prepare for, but they DO soften up and will feel nice and squidgey after healing Xx

Thanks for that info Cookie. I think my Surgeon wanted to inform me of all the positives and negatives, he did point out that there is no link with the implants to cancer hence why they are back on the market now. 

Really appreciate your advice

You're welcome Amy. Xx

I have the polyurethane implants and whilst there was issues in rats there is no risk to humans. I love mine.. as Cookie said they take a while to soften but once they do they look fab!

Good luck with making your choices.. there's a lot to consider isnt' there ...
I was going to have these had I not had to unfortunately last minute cancel ... Cookies advice is spot on .. which brand is it he has proposed ? If you look on the Pure Silmed website theres quite a lot of infor regrading these and how they really are now considered one of the best implants on the market
good luck and let us know how you get on x

Thanks 5stonedown, how long did they take to soften? Msc2013 my surgeon has proposed to use polytech, he has given me lots of info on them which has helped. Luckily I can have as many consultations as I need prior to surgery which is good as I seem to have so many questions! Thanks again ladies

About 12 weeks to start to soften hun x
