Textured implants reduce the risk of capsular contracture (tightening of the scar causing breast to harden), although it should be pointed out that there is no definite evidence to support this claim. Textured implants feel similar to sandpaper the smooth implants can be compared to the surface of a balloon.
Round Breast Implants
Round implants are available in both textures they are round in shape and tend to be not as expensive as the other shapes. Some woman believe they give you a less natural look than the other shapes available. However, the result of a breast enlargement is also dependant on the placement, experience of the surgeon, persons anatomy and how much tissue they have.
Teardrop Breast Implants
They have been designed to give a more natural look, sometimes they are referred to as anatomical implant. They are more abundant in volume at the bottom of the breast implant, this gives the impression of being oval from the front. To keep the implant in position after the breast enlargement, they are only available in a textured implant. This will ensure a more secure implant as this allows for tissue adherence.
Hydro gel implants
These have the safety of a saline breast implant, they also have the benefit of a gel implant. They give that natural look after a breast enlargement and are fully bio-compable. There is a positive reason for having this type of breast enlargement, if the implant does rupture or leak it will totally be absorbed by the body without causing any harm to the person.
