My doctor has a size chart comparing Sientra implants to Mentor. Where can I find this?

Question

Where sientra 695 are = to mentor 800. Because of the type 5 gummy bear. Yet i cannot find this anywhere else?

Stephen Bresnick, MD · Answer

Data for implant sizes can often be found in an internet search.  However, you can ask your doctor to make a copy of the chart so that you can take a look.It is important to understand why a particular implant size may be the best choice for you and having an understanding of options available and the differences between implant types is critical.  For example, the silicone cohesiveness and density of the Sientra is different than the Mentor (More Gummy-like).   Have a detailed discussion with your doctor to go over things.  Best wishes!

The easiest way is to ask your doctor. Another option is check Mentor and Sientra websites. I don't think 695 implant is equal to mentor 800 in terms of shape or size. But your surgeon should assist you in choosing the right implant for you. It is very important that you have your goals discussed before surgery to avoid after surgery disappointment.

David Finkle, MD · Answer

There are many different implant manufacturers and hundreds of different styles, types and sizes of implants.  It can be very confusing to choose the right implant.  If your plastic surgeon has a chart comparing implants, just ask him/her for a copy, these are not secrets!Good Luck!
