Yes! I went from saline to mentor gels to INSPIRAS. :-)

Thank you. Did sth wrong happen to mentor that you had a swap?

Thank you! I'll keep you posted! Good luck in December!

Thank you! Best of luck to you!

No ripples at all. As far as feeling them, I feel like they are "me!"

marmolade I was so afraid of rippling with round soft gels and I am surprised it isnt as bad I thought. I have absolutely no breast tissue , only thin skin flap from masectomy and I am all implant w/ inspira full ( 450) and it's slightly higher fill helps with rippling. Comes in more incremental sizes too . may want to consider or compare to Mentor.
MCG612 I appreciate your side by side pics to compare but on this site it keeps them small ( not the breasts the pictures lol) and any updated close ups are very helpful since our inspira surgeries are at same time frame. Love how happy you are and after 4 surgeries I am so happy for you! Since these implants are new here in the states not many have them yet. You have been reassuring on my choice!

Luvtiramisu, have you had mastectomy?

Are you going to set up a profile? It may help lots of women

Hi Marmolada, Yes I have , a bilateral nipple sparing and so the implants are 100 percent me and because of my thin skin I was a huge candidate for rippling, especially with no breast tissue to cushion the implant. I was curious of the new more filled implant coming here to states for FDA approval that had been used in Canada, AUstralia and Europe ( although I believe it only had a 5 - 6% higher fill than current Allergan hp 20 , I needed every bit of fill. It collapses less outside of the body when you compare the implants. Originally it was recommended to put in an anatomical to reduce rippling and hold shape, but due to a rotated expander I felt safer with a round shape. Also the sizing is better for smaller sizes in Inspira. There are two forms called responsive which we have here and soft touch which they have to choose from outside US a bit more cohesive also referred to as true form 1 and 2. My surgeon brought in 4 sizes in OR as I didnt know what I was going to wake up with from sizing in 300 through 400's. I am surprised ( only 3 plus weeks out) how unrippled I am. When leaning forward you will see it some and very slight on sides but same with my BA friends who says it can come with implants in general. It is really a beautiful shape. I dont know much about a sientra 107 more form stable round that may be available as of recent, but Inspira is not much different from what has been on market for years but better fill and sizing. I am sorry after making the explant decision you have to go back and get a " crutch" but they do come in smaller sizes and have a nice shape. They come in low, moderate, full and x full profiles. You may be please with moderate or full depending on size of your BWD. compare it to the mentor that you are considering and hope it helps you choose what is best for you. There is also a new ideal saline implant that just came out this month. SOmetimes dr. will present only what they have but there are other choices and slight variations to different implants and manufactures. I have smooth btw and not textured. Hope this is helpful to you.

Congrats! Since this was my fourth surgery and the muscle was not cut, I had very little pain. I didn't even need pain pills. After my first two surgeries where the muscle was cut, however, I did have some discomfort, but very manageable. I took pain pills the first day. I took a week off each time and was very ready to go back. :-)
