Why would you need PSPS ?

Choosing Silimed will provide your patient with the peace of mind of purchasing safe and quality breast implants, which also offers a product replacement program in cases of rupture due to manufacturing defects or Baker grades III or IV capsular contractures.

After placement, silicone breast implants are naturally involved by a capsule of tissue, which is a normal reaction of the body. In some patients, this capsule becomes vigorous enough to harden the breast and even change its shape, giving it an unsightly, hardened, and sometimes painful shape. Therefore, it is a reactive manifestation of the body in the presence of a foreign body, which isolates it through the layer of tissue that forms around it, known as the fibrous capsule or fibrotic capsule. This reaction of the body is known as capsular contracture. There are four grades, as classified by Baker, and our program coverage includes grades III and IV.
