I've had 2 consultations with essentially the same result. One doctor recommends Natrelle round gel and the other doctor recommends Sientra round gel. What are the differences between these two implants? Is one more preferred and why?
Answer: Implant brands are essentially the same in my opinion... and your surgeons are just expressing their preference for one band over another and towards what company provides better service to their practice and patients. It is more important to have a well trained surgeon with good judgment rather than a certain brand of implant as the warranties are all about the same. I'm a Sientra and Mentor person... and they help cover contractures as well.

Answer: No big difference personally, I use Sientra. They both offer over-filled implants. Both are great products, but I'm partial to Sientra because the gel is a little more cohesive. Warranties are the same. Company ethics are different! Sientra only sells to Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. Allergan will sell to anyone (gynecologists, general surgeons, ER docs)! That really bothers me, so I support the company that supports me. If someone came to my office and asked that I use a different company, I would probably refuse. Pick your surgeon first, but I respect the guy you saw that uses Sientra! I am the only one in Columbus that uses them out of 40 surgeons. Good luck!
