Hi,

In light of the news re the added dangers of textures implants, have any of your surgeons suggested switching textured implants for smooth ones? I have Mentor textured, and dread the idea of more surgery, but wonder if I should get these removed!

Also, - at what point did you have an mri or follow up tests to look for leakage? I was under the impression that it was at the 3 year mark, but my drs dont seem to feel it is necessary yet.

Thanks for your thoughts!
