Maximize upper pole fullness - which implant is a better choice?

Question

Hello, I’d like to increase my upper pole fullness. I like the so called, “fake look”. Am trying to decide whether to stay with a slightly larger Natrelle SRX extra full profile implant that I do really like or switching to a Mentor Boost High Profile for my revision/exchange. If my main concern is upper pole fullness and a “round” or fake look which is the better choice? Is there another implant, more appropriate to my criteria I should look into and see/feel that I may not be aware of?

Thank you for your question.  I have been in practice for over 30 years, and revision breast surgery is a large portion of my practice.  I can give you a few perspectives.  The most important thing would be to perform an internal bra/capsulorrhaphy procedure.  Additionally, I tend to like the ultra high-profile implant from Allergan as opposed to Mentor.  The Allergan implant holds that shape better and has a much less rupture rate.  You should be able to have an excellent result. Best wishes to you.
