Do Mentor boost implants or Mentor xtra implants, feel more natural?

Question

Do mentor boost implants or mentor xtra implants, feel more natural? Online it says xtra is more “firm”, when I felt them in person I couldn’t tell a difference, but the nurse helping me said the xtra feels more firm.

Hello,
I'd recommend feeling them both during your consultation. They feel almost the same. It will also depend how much breast tissue you have and the placement of the implants. Everyone has their own version of what feels natural. 
All the best,
Dr. Joe

Thanks for your inquiry, unfortunately you ask a slightly subjective question.  In general the "firmer" the implant--the less people think it feels natural but more importantly the firmer the implant the implant maintains more upper volume meaning less natural droop.  I suggest you revisit this conversation with your surgeon's office because you are right it is an important consideration-best of luck.

According to available information, both Mentor Boost and Mentor Xtra implants are designed to feel natural, but Mentor Boost implants are generally considered to have a slightly more natural feel, particularly for the upper pole of the breast, while Mentor Xtra implants offer more projection and fullness overall; the choice often depends on the desired aesthetic outcome and individual anatomy. Key points about each implant: Mentor Boost: Focuses on enhancing the upper pole of the breast, creating a more natural look, especially for patients with thin tissue or previous surgeries. Designed to minimize rippling due to a highly cohesive gel. Mentor Xtra: Provides increased fullness and projection compared to standard Mentor implants. Still maintains a soft, natural feel while offering more volume.
