Textured breast implants were developed after smooth implants to reduce the likelihood of capsular contracture and to help prevent the implants from shifting or changing position.

What differentiates smooth implants from textured ones is that the latter adhere to the breast tissue so they cannot move from their place.

Unlike textured implants, smooth breast implants are softer to the touch and do not adhere to breast tissue, making them slightly more comfortable when assuming any body position.

ADVANTAGES of these TEXTURED surface prostheses are the following:

-Lower incidence of capsular contracture in the retroglandular position (or in front of the pectoral muscle). The roughness would prevent the body from overreacting by creating intense fibrosis around the prosthesis, which would make and in fact makes the breast feel harder.
-They adhere to the tissues, making it difficult for them to rotate or move out of their proper place.

The filling also influences

There are two types of breast implants; both are made with a silicone outer shell, and a distinction is made between those filled with saline solution and those made with silicone.

Let’s look at the differences between these two options so that you and your plastic surgeon can determine which implant is right for you:

Silicone breast implants: Breast implants made with cohesive gel offer greater safety benefits because the gel’s consistency prevents leakage of this substance into the body in the rare event of an implant rupture.

There are some breast implants of this type that allow the plastic surgeon to adjust the volume during the procedure, creating results that look and feel natural.

Saline breast implants: These are filled with a saltwater solution, similar to the serum and fluid that makes up most of the human body. Because of their filler, they tend to be lighter than silicone implants.

Saline implants provide a less natural appearance than silicone implants because they are harder, making their firmness stand out.

One of the disadvantages of this type of prosthesis is that over time they can deflate, causing ripples or deformities in the prosthesis.
