Mentor Anatomical or Motiva Ergonomix?

Question

I am debating over selecting Motiva Ergonomix or Mentor Anatomical. I am having a revision after a rupture and capsular contracture. I have very little of my own breast tissue and am very thin, and would like a natural look. I am concerned about the Mentor ones rotating (I love power yoga and arm weights and sleep on my side) and a higher risk of caps con recurrence. With Motiva, I am worried they will look too fake and round (even in Demi profile). Can someone advise?

Dear Boobtrouble,
determining the ideal breast size and matching that goal for the patient is the most difficult part of breast augmentation. It starts and ends with the patient. We have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements. Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If its too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match. Of all of my breast augmentation patients, everyone of them have been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.
