Im currently a 32 AA and looking for a conservative look with my BA. I have decided to go with 200cc's but havent decided if I want the Allergan 410 or the standard silicone gel implants. Here's what I'm concerned about - wrinkling, capsular contracture, bottoming out, and a ''too fake'' appearance. From what Ive read, all signs seem to point towards the 410's, but if my risk of any of those complications is small, I'd like to save the money. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Answer: Small implants best You are concerned about wrinkling, capsular contracture,

Answer: 410 implants The 410 properly placed and sized is an outstanding implant for someone who wants a low risk profile and natural result. Consult with an experienced surgeon using these devices and they can discuss the pros and cons. Cost may be similar for the time being as Allergan is offering five hundred dollars off certificates that can be obtained by your surgeon or from the Allergan website I believe.

Answer: The 410 device is a silicone device that is firmer so you should compare that to others! Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Highly Cohesive implant or standard memory gel. Dear Jules,It is hard to tell you your specific risk of rippling and wrinkling without seeing your photos or performing an in person exam. However, you are right, the 410's from Allergan, or the Mentor/Sientra equivalents, are less likely to ripple wrinkle or have capsular contraction than standard memory gel type implants. The less tissue you have, the more vulnerable you are to this. However, I have done plenty of women with almost no tissue, both sub-muscular and sub-fascial with memory gel implants with no rippling. The following link is an example of this. However, it is important to know that if the implant is placed perfectly, the implant will cause rippling if it is a 410 or memory gel, so who you choose as your surgeon is very important as well.Best wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD

Answer: Choice of Round and Form Stable Silicone Implants WIthout examining you, it is impossible to give any specific advice. However, I used anatomic implants for years. When the new cohesive gel implants became available, but without an anatomic implant, I switched to them. Now that we have the anatomic implants in the cohesive gel like the Allergan 410, I have found only a few very specific reasons to use them. The regular implants do an excellent job of providing minimal wrinkling, capsular contracture and bottoming out as well as providing a very natural result.
