Is Eurosilicone recommended and do they come in high profile?

Question

All the Dr I talked to in Colombia uses Euro silicone. Is it recommended and why? I'm looking for durable implants and I read conflicting facts about Euro silicone. I use mentor gel high profile textured 600cc atm and want to go 800c . Are there high profile for eurosilicone? All I see is ultra high and medium

I'm not sure what the status of these implants are present but there have been issues earlier. There are implants available from three manufacturers that distribute in United States with excellent track records and at reasonable price.

In the U.S., only 3 manufacturers are currently approved to my knowledge for silicone breast implants: Mentor, Allergan, and Sientra (same implants as Silimed).  Eurosilicone is not FDA approved in the USA.

Robert G. Anderson, MD · Answer

There are three major implant companies in America.  These are Allergan, Mentor and Sientra.  Eurosilicone is a French company which manufactures cohesive silicone gel breast implants in the usual round, smooth and textured, shaped configurations.  A recent (2014) 5 year study of over 1000 breast implant patients (cosmetic and reconstructive) confirmed capsular contracture and implant failure (rupture) rates that are similar to those of Allergan, Mentor and Sientra.  Eurosilicone manufactures approximated 200,000 implants per year.  While this may seem like a small number, the fact that only about 300,000 women undergo primary breast augmentation per year in the United States indicates that Eurosilicone is actually quite busy with their implant business.  Getting into the implant business in America on a large scale is extremely expensive and difficult, therefore Eurosilicone may not ever make a large impact on the American breast implant business, but it appears to be a serious breast implant company that is here for the long haul.  I expect to hear more about Eurosilicone in the future as it competes for non-American business with companies like Allergan and Mentor.
