Does anyone know whether smooth breast implants are more expensive to purchase from Manufacturers than textured implants please?

Question

My PS will be using Motiva textured for my surgery. I asked for smooth. But the clinic say they only use textured. Do textured implants cost less? Does anyone know what the difference in price is for a pair of Motiva textured and Motiva smooth implants please? I'd be happy to pay extra for the smooth. But my PS's receptionist says only textured implants offered by his clinic.

Thank you for your question.  In the US, implant costs are the same whether textured or smooth implants are used from the three major implant companies. Unfortunately Motiva is not available here and I would recommend you research that company directly.  Hope this helps.

In the US, cost is the same for textured vs smooth implants, given they are similar type (eg, silicone or saline). The textured, shaped, silicone implants do cost mkre than the round, saline or silicone implants, however.

Tred carefully here.  Please ask your surgeon for their certification.  I am not sure if you are aware, but in the US there are only 3 companies that are legitimately allowed to dispense implants.  Motiva is not one of them as far as I know.  Please ask you surgeon if he or she is ABPS certfied.  Good luckDr. VasishtSouth Shore Plastic Surgery

In the US there are 3 major implant providers: Allergan, Mentor, and Sientra.   All three of these companies charge the same amount for smooth round vs textured round implants.   Their shaped implants are all more expensive than their round implants.   All shaped implants are textured.

The manufacturer's pricing here in the U.S. for comparable implants would be the same whether or not they are smooth or textured. Motiva implants are not approved by the FDA for use in the US so it is difficult to comment further.
