The aim of this prospective, controlled clinical investigation was to compare the capsular @entity1159 rate between @entity1346 implants with a smooth and those with a textured surface. The implants were otherwise identical. Twenty-five @entity1 with bilateral mammary hypoplasia underwent augmentation mammoplasty. All received a textured implant on one side and a smooth implant on the other. Before surgery the @entity1 were told that they could have the implants changed if the study showed that one type was better than the other. The investigation was conducted with the double-blind technique, with the code broken 1 year after surgery. At 1-year follow-up (reported previously) three parameters were used to estimate the tendency to capsular @entity1159 : (1) the @entity1 's opinion on differences in @entity3358 of the breasts, (2) the investigators' classification of capsular @entity1159 , and (3) applanation tonometry. All parameters showed unequivocally that the breasts augmented with textured implants had a lower tendency to develop capsular @entity1159 than those with smooth implants. Five years after surgery 17 @entity1 had had their smooth implant changed to a textured one because of @entity3358 . Only one of the textured implants had been removed. A comparison between the 1-year and 5-year tonometric results of the 24 breasts that still had the original textured implants showed that after 5 years, a small but statistically significant increase in @entity3358 had occurred compared with that after 1 year.
