Do Textured Implants 'Drop & Fluff' Differently Than Smooth Implants? (photo)

Thank you for your question.. Drop and fluff refers to post-operative period in which the breasts begin to descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. It may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast).  Texture implants do not move around as much in the pocket and you may find it takes a little longer for the breasts to settle in their final position.  Revisit with your surgeon at the six month mark.  If you notice that they continue to drop compared to where you are now, then they may continue to settle beyond six months.

Am unaware that the convalescence after a breast augmentation is different with texturized were smoothed implants. I think as the swelling subsides you should expect a good result.

and I am hoping you are discussing your concerns with your surgeon.  From your photo, one side looks great but the other side is higher.  Your surgeon should guide you through the process and since he uses textured often, should be best able to predict your outcome.  In my hands, I prefer smooth implants as textured implants (at least with saline) did have a much higher rupture rate and smooth implants were more easily manipulated into the desired position.
