Difference in Sientra 106 and 107?

Question

I got the Sientra smooth, round HSC. And I see in their catalog there's a 106 series and 107 series. I see they're both high strength cohesiOn but I was wondering what the differences are and if they are big differences. Is one more filled/less rippling than the other? I'm guessing the 107 is more cohesive.

Nathan W. Patterson, MD, FACS · Answer

The style 107 implants are in fact a little bit less prone to rippling.  This will probably not make a tremendous difference in your surgery.  You should of course discuss this at the time of your consultation with your plastic surgeon.  I hope that helps.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, you are absolutely right. The 107 is their latest model and has more cohesive gel so more of a "gummy bear" implant. The Sientra 107 is my personal favorite implant. You can feel the difference when you hold a 106 in one hand and a 107 in the other hand. This difference is not as important if you have a decent amount of your own breast tissue to cover the implant. For thin women with little to no breast tissue having the more cohesive gel will decrease the chances of rippling.

Melinda Haws, MD, FACS · Answer

You are correct in that the 107 is more “gummy bear” than the 106.  The 106 is HSC the 107  HSC+.  For some patients that difference can be quite important but for others, not as much.  Your choice depends on how thick your own tissues are as well as what tyPE of feel you desire In Your implants. The more of your own breast tissue you have the less likely you will notice a difference in look or feel between the two.  While I could pick out between two patients which had a 107 and which had a 106, if I were asked to examine a single patient without a comparison and asked to identify which implant was used, I am not sure I could tell.  So while the difference matters for some, it doesn’t for all.

Marc J. Salzman, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

You are correct. The 107 has a slightly stiffer feeling gel similar to that which is placed in their shaped textured implants. In patients with a fair amount of overlying breast tissue, it's difficult to feel the difference. Hope that's helpful.

Thomas C. Wiener, MD (retired) · Answer

Both implants are highly cohesive, with the 107 being somewhat more cohesive. This can give somewhat more volume in the upper part of the implant in a standing position, in other words the area just above the nipple.I have been using the 107 for a few years now and was one of the first plastic surgeons in Texas to be allowed to use it. The patients like both implants, and those who want the maximum superior fullness appreciate the 107.Sincerely,Thomas C.
