Rippling: what is better at showing less rippling (for a very thin build , under the muscle) -Mentor or Natrelle?

Thank you for sharing your question. I would advocate for a thicker cohesive gel implant from the Natrelle brand line. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry. To my knowledge there aren't many high quality studies examining which implant company causes less rippling when the implants are actually inserted into a patient. However, when the implants are examined side by side, they do have a different feel. Also, both companies have more than one line of breast implant so any comparison would depend on the exact line chosen from each company (for example, Natrelle comes in three styles, "responsive", "soft touch" and "cohesive", which all have a different feel and ability to hold their shape). I have used both company's implants extensively and in my experience the risk of rippling has more to do with other factors like the amount of tissue covering the implants, size of the implants relative to the patient's breast size, pocket chosen, etc.

Both brands are excellent implants, and silicone is much better in avoiding ripples than saline. Fat transfers can also be helpful to give more tissue to cover implant edges.
