What is the difference between Mentor Gel Implants and Mentor Xtra gel Implants? Which one is better for natural looking?

Mentor Xtra gel is slightly overfilled to yield less rippling compared to regular gel. However, rippling is not often an issue unless the implant is placed over the muscle, in a very thin patient, or in revision surgery. Therefore, the Xtra volume isn't often necessary. In regards to what appears natural looking, this is more related to the implant profile as opposed to whether it is regular versus Xtra fill. Moderate Plus Profile implants generally yeld more natural appearing results while High Profile implants tend to look more round and less natural. 

Good afternoon!Having placed over a thousand Mentor Xtra implants, I can assure you that patients LOVE them. They come in 2 profiles- Moderate Plus Xtra and High Profile Xtra. They do have a little more fullness, a little more firmness, and a little more projection than their corresponding Mod Plus and HP sisters, but I would not consider them less natural- it really all depends on what you have in mind as your goal look, size, proportion, etc. Best to find a good, experienced surgeon, have them measure your chest, review photos with you, and then have you try on the implant sizers. This is really the best way to determine the best implant for your body and your taste.

Thank you for your question - this comes up in the office all the time.  The Mentor Xtra gel implants have more fill than the other gel implants in the Mentor inventory.  It is important to partner with your surgeon to develop a surgical plan best suited to your individual goals.  In my experience the most natural look is with the Mentor moderate plus profile implant.  Depending on your individual body type and starting breast size, your surgeon can help guide you to the implant selection that best fit you.  Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery!
