What is the difference between smooth and textured breast implants?
The breast implant surface can be either smooth or textured. Some women prefer the natural feel of smooth breast implants, and claim that they are less likely to visibly ripple. Others prefer the textured breast implant, and believe the textured surface lowers their risk of capsular contracture; however clinical studies show that there is no difference in the incidence of capsular contracture with textured breast implants when compared to smooth breast implants. Breast implant texture is mostly a matter of personal preference.
