Do textured implants take longer to soften?

March 12, 2014
Asked By:skyfairy in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out from my remove and replacement w/ a mastopexy, and Sientra textured rounds are starting to soften up. That makes me very happy. I was pretty swollen, especially in my cleavage, and very sensative, but I'm starting to see what they're going to look like . Has anyone noticed that the textured implants take longer to soften up? I am liking my shape though, and they never seemed to have that upper pole weirdness that I did with my original smooths.
