Memory Gel Implants - Do They Move and Feel Natural?

I[ve used this implant from mentor for over 10 years and have been very satisfied with the natural appearance and feel of the implants. 

As already pointed out, your own breast tissue and body type also have a lot to do with how natural your results will appear so be sure you choose a surgeon who works carefully with you in fornt of the mirror to choose the best size and shape of implant for you !

The answer to your question depends on your breast anatomy you currently have. Memory gel placed under the muscle look the most natural. A consultation is necessary to give you an exact answer.

Lolita, the "Memory Gel" Mentor silicone gel implants are soft and jiggly, in the manufacturer's packaging.  Once implanted in your body, there is a period of time when all silicone gel implants feel stiff and haven't displaced.  It's impossible to predict how long that waiting time is, however, in general, it ranges between 1-3 months.  For dual plane patients, the firmness is a function of the pectoralis muscle needing to accomodate.  So it's not unusual for women to experience a latency between surgery and final displacement. 

I completely concur with the other consultants that there are many factors which may disallow any gel implant from eventually becoming natural.  To summarize: patient factors: How much native breast tissue do you have? Have you had previous saline breast implants? Is the overlying breast tissue overly thinned out? Are the bases of the breasts congruent? Do you have any chest wall or rib cage asymmetries? Did you develop excessive breast scar capsular contracture?  joint factors: Did you choose an implant which was appropriate for your chest wall diameter? Was the pocket under- or over-dissected. 

The "Memory Gels" are not the cohesive gel implants, which are stiffer and less natural.  Hope this helps.

Memory gel implants are a great product.  How natural they will look and feel really depends upon your anatomy ( like how much breast tissue you start out with) and how large of an implant you go with.

The result of breast augmentation with memory gel implants depends on several factors, such as size of implants, placement above or below the muscle, original size of breast and soft tissue coverage. In general, gel implants have a natural feel quite similar to breast tissue. There may be some movement associated with them but they do not need to look "really fake" while exercising or running.
