  2. Silicone or Saline Implants: It’s Your Choice Breast enlargement, breast lift with implant, breast implant revision choices have expanded considerably 3 Manufacturers: 1.Mentor (a Johnson & Johnson company) 2. Allergan 3. Silimed

  3. Your Implant Options:Saline, Silicone Gel,“Gummy Bears” One implant not “best” over others Board Certified Plastic Surgeons LJCSC use MENTOR’s saline-filled and Memory Gel silicone implants, offer Silimed shaped implants by Sientra Our surgeons have over 25 years of experience on breast augmentations Implant sizing & shaping session Considerations for choosing an implant: Body geometry Desired Look Personal Preference Your age

  4. Mentor Breast Implants Saline & Silicone Gel • Mentor’s implants have a lower deflation rate, which reduces the need for secondary surgery due to deflation. • We prefer the shell (the outer edge) of the Mentor implants. • They are less likely to wrinkle and show under your skin when implanted. • We’ve found that you are less likely to be able to feel the edges of Mentor implants once they are implanted (i.e, they are less palpable). • They are made in the U.S.A.

  5. Gummy Bear ImplantsHigh-Strength Cohesive Silicone Implants from Sientra Standard Silicone Gel Implants The Gummy Bear Sientra FDA approved march 2012 Higher rate of cross-linking of silicone structure More cross-linking, firmer the gel • All Silicone Gel stable, durable, cohesive but soft enough to “give” • Implant feel and look very natural in your body • Not optimal in a shaped implant
