Brazilian implants, with a
textured covering made from polyurethane, are now available in
Australia. They already have a long history of use overseas.
Their safety profile is well
documented and in particular their main advantage in reducing the post-
operative risk of capsular contracture is well known. The accepted
capsule contracture rate is now in the order of 1 - 2 % instead of about
10% plus. You can read more about this at:
An additional benefit of the Brazilian implant is that they have a
minimal chance of displacement or moving out of position, due to the
adherence of their unique texture to the surrounding tissue.
This is particularly useful if you would like a “teardrop” type shape.
The conventional teardrops have a high incidence of rotation while the
Brazilians have a minimal risk.
