Please understand the sentences that are not perfect because English is not my first language. My band size is 71cm and bust is 81cm. And my skin is sort of thin. I want to insert a 350cc implant underneath my muscles. Under these conditions, would mentor classic be much more likely to cringe than mentor xtra?
Answer: Mentor Breast Implants Mentor Xtra Smooth implants are designed with additional layers to minimize the risk of visible rippling. However, the likelihood of rippling also depends on individual factors such as skin thickness, tissue coverage, and the specific implant size chosen.

Answer: Mentor Hi there! Thank you for your question. With thin skin and a small frame, rippling is a valid concern. Mentor Xtra has more fill and firmness than Classic, so it may be less likely to ripple—especially under the muscle. A consult with a board certified plastic surgeon can help confirm the best choice for your body and goals.

Answer: Rippling and implants It is a very good choice to have it placed under the muscle. This is your best insurance against rippling, although you might expect to feel the implant on the outer side of the breast. The Mentor extra is more cohesive, and may decrease the risk of rippling a little. Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed when the tissue coverage is so minimal. Good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Funny928854 Thank you for your question. It would be helpful to provide photos and the base dimensions of your breasts. That being said yes the regular gel implant has a slightly higher risk of rippling than the Xtra gel implant. You should discuss this with your PS. I hope this helps

Answer: Xtra Thanks for your question! The Xtra is more cohesive so it will ripple less. I would encourage you to spend the additional money if you are thin-skinned. Good luck!
