Having my BA in November 2017. They are both comparable in feel and cohesiveness. My PS will typically chose the implant that works for the patient, but I really want to have an opinion about which brand is used. It’s my body after all and I have to live with it. He said he tends to use the Soft Touch more because it gives better results. However, I hear that sientra has the lowest rupture rate. I haven’t be be able to find any data on the new Inspira soft Touch.

Answer: Follow-Up: Rupture rate - Sientra vs Inspira Soft Touch? 5’4, 118lbs, 32C, mom of 2. Looking to go 300-355cc silicone moderate. Thank you for your questions. In the end, the rupture rate for the two implants is probably roughly equivalent. A rate of 7% vs 8% for example does not really mean that much to you. Further, just because you choose the implant with the lowest rupture rate does not assure you that you will not have a rupture. I would choose the implant you feel meets your goals and not lose too much sleep over rupture rates.Hope this helps!

Answer: Sientra Style 107=Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch, for the most part. I feel qualified as a high volume user of both these styles of implants to answer this question. In fact, I'm working on my manuscript to get the experience I have published in our Plastic Surgery Journal so I can share this information with my colleagues. Mostly, you won't notice very much difference between these devices besides a little wider range of profiles and volumes with the Inspira Soft Touch. Contracture rates, rupture rates, etc are pretty equivalent overall. I do think they are very comparable when it comes to maintenance of upper pole volume (top of the breast), and smoothness (lack of rippling). My "on the table" feeling is that the Sientra Style 107 is a little bit softer because of the technology they use to attach the gel to the shell, allowing them to use a soft silicone gel. However, neither of them feel hard. These implants are the Goldilocks of breast implants - just about right for about 95% of patients. You should really love whichever one you use. It is most important that your surgeon be thoughtful and considerate of your goals, your anatomy, and precise in the execution of your surgery. Choose wisely. Best of luck.
