Hi, I have had a breast augmentation over 7 years ago. I’m extremely happy with my result, I have had no issues with them and I get them checked every year. The only thing I’ve noticed is that one of my scars did not end up in the breast fold, it’s actually sitting almost on my abdomen. My implants have not moved, they look and feel great! Can anyone advise why this has happened and if there is a way of rectifying it? Although I love my breast augmentation, I don’t particularly like the scars and would like them out of sight as much as possible. Thank you!

The Mentor high volume silicone devices received FDA approval in November 2024. There is a planned commercial launch for Mid 2025.
Sales representatives have already been making the rounds introducing the product to surgeons, thus launch is likely imminent.

Both implants are rather firm. The regular gel implants are the softest of all the implants. I am not a fan of the gummy implants because of their firmness.
