Mentor vs. Natrelle Breast Implants

Hi there-
It is my opinion that both implant manufacturers produce a consistently high quality product, evidenced by the outstanding warranty programs both offer.
Most often the choice of manufacturer for a surgeon comes down to what they are comfortable and familiar with... I have been using Mentor implants for years, and am extremely comfortable and familiar with the dimensions of the implants, so using them allows me to achieve predictably good results for my patients. I know and respect surgeons who feel as strongly that Natrelle is all they would use. I think the best way to think about this is to use the analogy of luxury cars- this is like asking if Mercedes or BMW is better... you will find some people on both sides of the fence, but the truth is they are both great cars.
Having said all of that, it is important to emphasize to you that the most important consideration in terms of maximizing your chances of getting the superior outcome you desire, and of minimizing your risk in general. is to choose your surgeon wisely. The old saying "it's the carpenter, not his tools" applies here- so don't worry as much about the implants- but be very careful who you let put them in.
Here is a bit more advice on choosing a surgeon:

Thank you for your question and doing your research before surgery.  Mentor, Allergan, Sientra, and Ideal Implant are the four implant manufacturers with products available in the United States.  Most surgeons have experience with more than one line of implants and can assist you in choosing the implant brand, size, and profile that best suits your individual needs.  It is best to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your personal goals and develop a customized plan just for you.  Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery!

Mentor is the better implant. The Biocell texturing of Allergan implants has caused a great deal of controversy lately, in particular its correlation with capsular contracture and breast implant associated breast cancer. In addition, Allergan is a rather despicable company. I encourage you to read about their Restasis patent and the arrangement with the St. Regis Mohawk Indian tribe.
