Is Natrelle Inspira Round Textured the Best Implant Choice for a Very Thin Woman? (photo)

Hi, I have gone to several surgeons and the range they recommend me is 280cc-310cc. I just want to enhance my figure and I want a natural look, not the fake rounded shape. I am very thin, 32A and would like a full B or small C cup. Is Natrelle Inspira round textured the best choice for me? Or the Mentor Memory Gel would be a better choice? Thanks

Natrelle Inspira Round (Textured or Smooth) is a good choice for you.

The Natrelle Inspira implants are not available in the US and just recently received Health Canada Approval. These have been available and approved in Europe and some other countries since 2006. They are different and in my opinion better than what we have had available before. The cohesive silicone gel filler material can be either a responsive gel (similar to Mentor Memory Gel or Allergan Natrelle TruForm 1Gel used in their Style 10, 15 and 20), or a much more cohesive gel consistent with... more

Textured Implants have not benefits and elevate your risk of problems

Hi there- In my opinion, there is absolutely NO advantage to the use of a textured device in your situation. On the other hand, the textured surface will greatly elevate your risks of visible rippling and the ability to feel the implant through your skin. Modern silicon implants (from either manufacturer) are more likely to give you the natural, lovely result you desire.

Smooth walled round silicone implants give the best most consistent results.

Hi. 1) As you can see there is disagreement among surgeons, and that is very confusing to women. I can only tell you what my fairly long experience has been. Textured implants have no advantages, and several possible complications, such as rippling and flipping around. Most plastic surgeons use smooth implants. 2) 300 cc's may be a little large for what you want. It is best for the surgeon to make the final decision during surgery, after... more

Implant Choice

As long as you use a round smooth implant I think you will probably have a nice result regardless of which manufacturer you use. The round smooth implant can give a very natural augmentation as long as you do not go too big. Textured implants will be firmer and have a greater chance of noticeable rippling. I used to use a lot of textured implants 15 years ago but now in my practice I recommend them for no one. Gary Hall,MD

Choosing the right implant

Both Natrelle and Mentor implants provide implants of excellent quality, durability, and of various sizes and shapes. What is more important than focusing on the exact type of implant p, size, and shape, is choosing an experienced plastic surgeon who can show you his before and after gallery that you like. Looking at the picture you posted I notice your breasts look vertically long but with a narrow width and sizeable space between them. When choosing an implant who's diameter is greater... more

Mentor vs. natrelle

Both implant manufactures make implants that have similar sizes and shapes. The rate of implant rupture is also about the same. So in my opinion one company's product is not superior to the other. There are subtle differences that may be more of an issue to a surgeon that a patient. I would use either if handed to me.

Breast Implant Size?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Communication with your plastic surgeon will be key to achieving the results you are looking for. Unfortunately, the use of words such as “I really want a natural look" means different things to different people. In other words, what you consider to be natural may not be what your plastic surgeon considers to be natural looking. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Textured implants not the answer

There is no advantage to textured implants in your case and you will probably will want to maintain smooth round implants. Both Mentor and Natrelle make good implants so an in person exam and consultation will determine the appropriate size and profile for you. Consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to explore your options.

Augmentation below the muscle is better; smooth round below the muscle is preferred.

Textured implants are best when your surgeon is "forced" (by anatomy, prior surgery, or patient specifics) to go above the muscle, as the texture may help to minimize the potential for capsular contracture. Positioning the implants behind the breast may expose the implant surface to bacterial contamination from the breast ducts, and lead to a higher risk of capsular contracture. That is why the majority of plastic surgeons now utilize a submuscular approach for most (not all)... more
