Comparing Breast Implant Brands

Thank you for the question.

Both companies are reputable with good products (similar characteristics and warranties). On May 10, 2000, the FDA granted approval of saline-filled breast implants manufactured by Mentor Corporation and McGhan Medical. To date, all other manufacturers’ saline-filled breast implants are considered investigational.
As of 2006, the FDA has approved the use of silicone gel implants manufactured by the Mentor Corporation and Allergan (formerly McGhan) for breast augmentation surgery for patients over the age of 22.



I hope this helps.

Hello, 
These brands produce quite similar products. As mentioned Natrelle and Inamed are brand names of the same company. This union was the product of corporate acquisition. Surgeons disagree as to which brand (Mentor or Inamed) might be better in their hands. I look at dimensions and go from there.

I see no difference between Natrelle (Allergan/Inamed/McGhan) and Mentor(Johnson and Johnson).  Both companies are well-regulated and have good quality implants. I would recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon certifed by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Good luck.
