Ive heard textured implants are more likely to cause inflammation and higher immune response is this true?

I'm getting textured breast implants tomorrow, I have been tossing and turning over smooth or textured but my surgeon recommended textured as it's over the muscle you won't see rippling as much and reduces chance of capsule contractor. I like the idea of not getting capsule contractor as easily as smooth. But I've heard textured harvests more bacteria and causes inflammation because it rubs since it's rough not smooth. Once the capsule seals it surely it, it shouldn't rub and cause inflammation?
