What is the Short Answer?
For those of you who just want a quick answer, ALL MOTIVA IMPLANTS ARE SMOOTH, NOT TEXTURED.
What is the Long Answer?
The long answer is a bit more complicated. Only textured implants are associated with illnesses like Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL). As Motiva implants are smooth surface devices, there are no cases of MOTIVA implants being associated with this illness.
The Motiva implant has a 4 micron SmoothSilk surface which affords it some rather unique properties. Motiva implants have been shown to have a lower incidence of bacterial adherence to its surface. There is a lower amount of inflammation and tissue reaction between Motiva implants and the body, leading to thinner capsules (the normal scar tissue that forms around ALL breast implants and other implanted medical devices), and a lower rate of capsule contracture in published studies. This translates to a lower rate of complications and future revisions of your breast augmentation.
Watch this video to better understand why the Motiva SmoothSilk surface is superior to other breast implant surfaces.
