Are textured implants less likely to drop?

Asked By:buffykasper97 in England, United Kingdom

Hello, I had breast augmentation 5 years ago. I was very happy with how they looked and still am with the right side. However, in the last year my left breast has dropped/sagged too low. I saw a surgeon who recommended an uplift, downsize from 550cc to 400 and said I should switch from smooth to textured. I would rather not have textured and wondered if it's true they are less likely to drop/move?
