I'm 31yo 5'3 113lbs and I'm having my ba on 01/20/15. My ps suggested me sientra 410cc -440cc hp textured under the muscle but now I'm a little worried that they don't settle or acommodate appropriately. How long do textured implants take to settle in place?

Answer: Textured implants. The upside is textured implants tend to stay in place in patients who may tend to have skin or tissue laxity. I find them useful on certain breast lift patients. The down side is they cause visible rippling and wrinkling at a rate much higher than smooth implants, especially in thin individuals. They also have a higher rupture rate and are probably only marginally helpful at preventing capsular contracture.

Answer: Textured breast implant expert Textured implants take some time to settle, just as smooth implants do. Textured implants are mainly used to reduce the risk of skin contracture. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
