how could you tell me that textured implants have a lower rate of capsular contracture and the answer is they probably don't

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

the advantage of the texture one is not clear in my opinion there is no advantage but initially they found a lower rate of capsular contracture with the textured implants now you have to be really careful I think of any physician I've ever known you're one of the best at understanding that data can be very misunderstood and misread and one of the issues we have in my field in particular is that a lot of the studies done on implants are done by plastic surgeons who are on the payroll of the implant companies and so the implant companies are paying hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars to plastic surgeons to do studies and these plastic surgeries have a significant financial interest and the result of the studies and you really have to question whenever the researcher has such a big financial stake in a certain finding
