Which movement and texture is most natural: Mentor round or Motiva round?

Both Mentor and Motiva are reputable brands that offer round breast implants, and both claim to provide natural-looking results. However, the perception of what feels and looks natural can vary among individuals and may depend on various factors, including implant size, shape, and placement, as well as the patient's existing breast tissue and body type.
Here are some considerations regarding the movement and texture of Mentor and Motiva round breast implants:
1. Movement: Both Mentor and Motiva round implants are designed to move naturally with the body. The movement of an implant can be influenced by factors such as its fill material (e.g., silicone gel), shell design, and implant placement (subglandular or submuscular). Some patients may prefer implants with a softer or more natural feel, while others may prefer implants with a firmer feel.
2. Texture: Mentor and Motiva offer different shell textures for their implants. Mentor's round implants typically feature a smooth shell surface, while Motiva offers implants with a textured surface called VelvetSurface. The texture of an implant shell can affect how it interacts with the surrounding tissue and may influence factors such as implant position stability and the risk of capsular contracture.
Ultimately, the choice between Mentor and Motiva round implants should be based on a thorough discussion with your plastic surgeon, who can assess your individual needs, preferences, and anatomy. They can help you select the most appropriate implant option to achieve your desired aesthetic outcome while considering factors such as implant movement, texture, safety, and longevity.
It's essential to communicate your goals and concerns openly with your plastic surgeon and to ask questions about the characteristics of each implant option to make an informed decision. Additionally, reviewing before-and-after photos and discussing the experiences of other patients who have undergone breast augmentation with Mentor or Motiva implants may help you gain insight into what to expect in terms of natural movement and texture.

Smooth round implants will be softer than textured shaped implants and have less long term risks, especially with stress issues, tearing away from your tissue, and causing late fluid build up called a seroma.

Hello @Modest651440 thank you for your question. It is vital to make an assessment to consider other factors that also need to be considered when deciding the type of the implant so that they can be determined in a personal and accurate manner, not only the size, but also the volume and location of the implant. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS
