I was under the impression I was getting smooth surface implants so have done all my research on them but I've realized I have textured. How do I take care of them? I know you're not supposed to massage them but how do you ensure they soften? Can I encourage them to settle where I want them? Is there anything else I need to do/not do?

Answer: No special care needed for implants Thank you for your question. There is no special care needed for smooth or textured implants. Massage is a complete myth. You can do it if it makes you feel better but it will have no effect on your final outcome. Follow your surgeons advise.

Answer: Aftercare for textured implants? Textured implants post op care is different than having smooth implants mainly in regards to massaging. Massaging is not recommended with texturized implants, massaging can increase the risk for fluid to accumulate, causing what is known as a seroma. Most patients associate not massaging with the potential increased risk for capsular contracture, but textured implants actually have a lower rate of capsular contracture occurrence.The implants may settle slightly after surgery, but not as much as smooth implants tend to settle, the textured surface prevents the implants from moving or migrating in the pocket.
