Would you suggest smooth silicone or textured implants after capsular contracture revision?

Anonymous1476786
I am about 4 months post op. Currently have smooth silicone unders. I will have my revision soon for CC (grade 3/4) but still cannot decide on whether to go w/textured or smooth again. I know textured is designed to prevent CC but based off research the results seem to be inconclusive, which leaves me confused on what to choose. Doc recommends textured but I am still hesitant. Help please!
