What material are my Mentor, CPG 322, gel, cohesive III implants?

Thanks for your inquiry, you have Mentor silicone gel implants. CPG devices are textured anatomic "tear drop" shaped implants, hope that helps.

As stated in your question, the implants contain cohesive III silicone gel in a silicone shell. These do not contain saline.

Implants settle, shape, and soften about 1% a day. Although not a medical term, this process is called, "drop and fluff'. So at 3months or 90 days they have settled about 80%. The total process is about 9 to 12 months. The longer you wait, the better your breast will fit in clothes. 8 weeks is about the earliest.

Mentor CPG 322 gel, cohesive III implants are made from a silicone shell filled with a proprietary silicone gel called "MemoryGel" which is classified as a cohesive gel, meaning it holds its shape well, and specifically, "Cohesive III" indicates a firmer consistency of this gel within the implant; essentially, the material is medical-grade silicone both for the shell and the gel filling. Key points about the material: Shell: Made from cross-linked silicone elastomer, providing elasticity and integrity to the implant. Gel: "MemoryGel" - a cohesive silicone gel with a "Cohesive III" consistency, which is considered a firmer type of gel. Important detail: All Mentor implants are made from medical-grade silicone materials.

Dear skyejones332,
Your Mentor CPG 322 cohesive III implants are made from cohesive silicone gel implants. The high cohesively helps the shaped implants keep their anatomical shape (like half a pear), compared to round cohesive II or round cohesive I implants (which are more like half an orange).They are very high quality implants. I hope this is helpful.

"Gel" tells you that your implants are filled with gel and not saline. Otherwise, they would say saline.

Hi
These are Mentor teardrop / anatomical implants - they have a silicone shell and are filled with a cohesive silicone gel. They are medium heigh and moderate plus projection.

Yes, your Mentor CPG 322 cohesive III implants are silicone gel implants. As you mentioned, they are medium height and a moderate plus profile.
