Smooth Implants

Smooth implants move freely in the pockets. The smooth implants have very small shells in them. They generally do not rupture. Their rate of rupturing is very low. Because of their material property they last long as compared to any other type of implant. The smooth type of implants is not as firm as that of the textured implants. There is a phenomenon called as the traction rippling effect in case of some breast implants. If in case there is a occurrence of traction rippling in smooth rippling then the only solution is to repeat the whole surgery with a totally new replant. This occurs generally because the overlying tissues grabs the implant and starts pulling. But the smooth type of implants does not face such a type of problem.
