Abstract
Envelope structure has evolved since the seventies. Indeed, low-bleed implants allow an important reduction of capsular contracture for silicone filled implants. Later, textured implants permit an additional reduction of capsular contracture, especially when positioned in a retroglandular pocket. Whereas many studies confirm these findings, the interest of textured implants in the retromuscular plane is not really clear, even if some authors recommend it. Due to the need of a tissular anchorage, anatomical implants are not manufactured with smooth envelopes.
