Posted under Breast Implants q&a

I am reading that textured implants are harder, less natural feeling, more likely to deflate and ripple?!

NM.Mom
I just had my consultation and the surgeons no longer offer smooth silicone. They have moved to exclusive textured silicone (Allergen, Naturelle). I have only seen the benefits of the teardrop implant so I don't understand why the doctor would do this. I wasn't prepared because I hadn't read up on textured because today was the first I heard of it. I can't find any before/after pics or videos! Can anyone let me know if its just a brand thing or if these are ok? *BF 3 kids 34yo Deflated Chest
