I’m 5’4 167lbs size 36b right now. I’m looking to get 630cc Mentor Moderate profile Xtra Fill. I want to be a full D. Is this size too big for my body? Will I regret it later due to sagging or back pain? Are Mentor implants considered gummy bear or silicone?
Answer: Implant size We get so many questions from women who regret going that large. I advise no more than 500 cc max. It’s your body and obviously many surgeons will have no problem using 650 cc. Just think it’s worth giving a different perspective.

Answer: Implants The size you have selected is a larger heavy implant that does carry more risks, especially of sagging and thinning tissue over time. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and try on that size so you can feel the weight. For most women who are only 5'4", 650cc implant is too large.

Answer: Your Goal Photo Is My Patient Good afternoon!I perform over 200 XL augmentations a year- you won't find anyone who does more! Mentor implants are indeed silicone, and cohesive, and the street term is gummy bear- it all means the same thing- all silicone gel implants in the U.S. are cohesive gel, the liquid ones were removed from the market long ago. There are varying degrees of cohesiveness, but in my opinion the more cohesive an implant the more stiff and unnatural it is, without true added benefit when it comes to rupture, etc. Patients with XLs rarely complain of back pain down the road (my first XL patient was in 2001 and she still has the same pair and loves them).
