Sientra implants recalled! Breast surgery in 1 week! Wait for Sientra or get Mentor brand?

Most plastic surgeons would agree that Sientra is a great brand of great quality.  The implants were not "recalled" but rather voluntarily taken off the market by the company (which speaks volumes of the company's interest in patient concern).  If you are not in a hurry, I would recommend that you wait a couple of months (at least until after the first of the year) to see if the implants come back on the market (as most plastic surgeons believe they will).  Sientra makes a great implant and has a great warranty program.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  The FDA did not ask Sientra to stop selling breast implants. Despite this Sientra voluntary stopped selling implants. The FDA has not asked for a recall. You should discuss this matter with your plastic surgeon. I hope you find this information useful. 

Thank you for the question.The remainder of the FDA approved (Mentor and Allergan) breast implant manufacturers are reputable and provide us with excellent products (with similar characteristics and warranties). Much more important than the manufacturer of breast implants is careful selection of plastic surgeon.  Personally I would suggest that you move ahead with surgery.  Make sure that you communicate your goals carefully. Best wishes.
