Will textured implants be as soft and real-like feeling as the smooth silicone implants?

Silicone gel implants whether smooth or textured can feel natural and soft depending on the circumstances.  Textured implants have a thicker shell than the smooth so if you have very little breast tissue or thin skin, you may want to consider a smooth silicone gel.  Otherwise, it's not likely that you will feel a difference.  I prefer smooth silicone gel in my office and only use textured in specific cases.  Make sure you feel both of them when you have your consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.  ac

Silicone breast implants come both smooth and textured. They are both more natural feeling than either smooth or textured saline implants. Silicone implants also come in cohesive gel or highly cohesive gel "gummy bear" anatomic implants. the more highly cohesive gel implants feel a bit more firm than a "standard" cohesive gel implant. Texturing is said to slightly reduce the incidence of capsular contracture. Texturing of the implant can reduce the abnormal movement of the implant (dynamic displacement) if the implant is placed beneath the muscle. This may certainly make the implant appear more natural but has nothing to do with the feel of the implant. No implant is perfect but they all mimic breast tissue quite nicely. There are so many choiuces that it is important to go to a plastic surgeon who has experience with each type of implant and can help pick the best one for you.
