Which implant is better? Mentor, Natrelle or Sientra (silicone)

At this time, the 3 breast implant manufacturers approved by the FDA to sell implants for cosmetic breast augmentation are Mentor, Natrelle (Allergan), and Sientra.  All 3 are reputable companies that stand behind their products with appropriate warranties.  They have all gone through a rigorous approval process with the FDA.  Every surgeon will develop his or her own preferences regarding which company's products to use.  I, myself, have used implants from all 3 companies, and have seen nice results from all.  I try to base my decision on which implants will work best with the individual patient's breast anatomy and dimensions to create the best result.  Of course, there are significant different characteristics between silicone and saline implants, smooth vs. textured surface, varying profiles, sizes, and shapes.  There may also be a difference in consistency due to the cohesiveness of the silicone produced by each manufacturer.  However, the quality of the 3 company's products are similar.  Be sure to speak directly with your surgeon about all these characteristics of the breast implants, not just the size, in order obtain your best result.

Thank you for your question and for being committed to doing your homework prior to surgery.  Mentor, Sientra, and Allergan are the three implant manufacturers selling products in the US.  Many plastic surgeons use one or more implant brand in their day to day practice.  The implants all have some similarities and some differences.  An in-person consultation with your board-certified plastic surgeon will allow you to develop a surgical plan and choose an implant that best suits your individual goals.  Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.

You can not make a bad choice between these 3 reputable implant companies. Each of them makes a quality product that is approved by the FDA. Once implanted, you probably would not be able to tell the difference between them. 

I agree with Dr Repta,All 3 are good brands that have passed US (FDA) requirements.  All have a wide variety of shapes to fit your typical volume and breast width requirement.  Frequently, implant manufactures will offer promotional discounts in order to influence selection.  If your board certified plastic surgeon is more comfortable with one implant over the other, than I would go with their recommendation.Best of luck

Implants are all the same.  One company is not better than the other.  I really depends what your surgeon is comfortable using.  I would leave the choice of a company up to him or her.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS
