Answer: Breast Implant Manufacturers Thank you very much for your question. All three manufacturers are reputable and have good data to support the effectiveness and safety of their devices. There are some small differences between the companies that they use to try to distinguish themselves from each other, but most surgeons don't feel like there is a major difference. We have preferences about what we use but you will hear arguments on each side. Most surgeons will choose an implant that fits the patient's needs best despite the manufacturer. If there is a good reason to use a particular implant, most experienced surgeons will make the choice of the implant that is best for the patient in their own hands. Discuss this matter further with your surgeon.

Answer: The best implant is..... As a co-investigator for Allergan, member of clinical advisory panels for Allergan (NOVO) and Sientra, as well as being a certified user of gel implants for Mentor, I can say what is known. Sientra as their full line of implants which are all highly cohesive gel implants available. Allergan has 4 models of 12 approved, Mentor has 1. Allergan and Mentor source their silicone gel from the same company, only Sientra source theirs from a similar company, but has unique properties related to its compounding. After 10 years and over 700 of these implants placed, I have seen double capsules in only Allergan, none in Mentor or Sientra. No deflations have been seen, nor contractures in breast augmentation procedures. No noted ALCL cases in these patients either. As a member of the most recent supplement for plastic surgeons regarding these gummy bear implants, in my opinion, Sientra provides a one breast feel, soft, strong, with the best warranty (both contracture and deflation), and selection that is available today.
