Question:
What are the pros and cons of smooth implants compared to textured implants?
Answer:
In the United States, most surgeons use smooth implants and we are used to putting smooth implants under the muscle. Outside of the United States, textured implants are very popular. There are pros and cons of both. Some people feel that textured implants cause breast capsular contracture, however in most studies this has not been the case. We still prefer smooth implants as they ripple less.
