Motiva Demi Implants - is this range of implant smooth or textured?

This is a great questions. Since 2010 there have been no reports of BIA-ALCL in Motiva implants. However, these implants are not smooth but very finely "textured;" about 4 microns. They feel almost like velvet. The data suggest that this fine texturing might help them resist capsular contracture making them useful for subfascial or subglandular augmentation.

Hello! As you stated, textured implants are shown to be linked with ALCL. Motiva are the recently FDA approved breast implants in the US, however they have been used outside the US for over 10 years now. They have a special surface that is neither exactly textured nor smooth. Its surface has a uniform roughness of 4 microns which is a modification of a smooth surface. Implants with surface roughness of 10 microns or above are considered to be textured. Motiva implants have underwent certain modifications of silicone implants to increase biocompatibility leading to less risk of rupture and capsular contracture.
