Abstrakt: A polyurethane-covered silicone gel implant has been used by the author in 150 breast reconstructions and augmentations in the past 9 years. The results have been most gratifying with regard to breast softness, breast compressibility, and esthetics. Only 4 patients have developed a unilateral capsule contracture and firm breast. The reasons are postulated for these satisfying results. Complications have been few and very minor.
