Many women choose to have their breasts enlarged in order to satisfy their own desire for a fuller bustline. Your breasts may not have developed to a size that meets your expectations, or one breast may be significantly smaller than the other. You may have been happy with your breasts in the past, but feel that they look different now.
Often, after weight loss, childbirth or as a result of aging, the breasts lose volume and their shape changes. Breast augmentation can enhance your breast size and shape, and give you the more proportional figure that you always wanted. This can be done with inflatable saline implants or with the new cohesive gel implants.

Saline-Filled Breast Implants
Round Style Breast Implants
All of Mentor's silicone gel implants are cohesive. This means that the gel filler acts as a solid unit rather than a liquid. Our gel holds together uniformly, while retaining the natural "give" that resembles actual breast tissue.
Coutoured Shaped Breast Implants
Our saline-filled breast implants are filled with a saltwater solution similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body. Each breast implant has a self-sealing valve used to fill the device during surgery. We offer a variety of textures, sizes and shapes to provide you and your physician the greatest possible flexibility toward achieving breast enhancement goals.
Adjustable Tissue Expander/Breast Implants
Adjustable tissue expander/breast implants may be used for Single-Stage Breast Reconstruction. These unique implants include the exclusive Spectrum® post-operatively adjustable breast implants, and the Becker dual-shell implants that provide the feel of gel, with the volume flexibility of a saline breast implant.
Round Spectra™ Adjustable Gel Implants
The Spectra-Adjustable Gel Augmentation Breast Implant offers all the advantages of a silicone gel implant with an ingenious, adjustable saline inner-lumen that can change the fill volume. Simple to use offering intra-operative flexibility and symmetry. Available in High Profile, smooth and siltex surface shells with a double lumen- adjustable saline inner lumen and silicone outer lumen. Posterior self sealing valve.
Contour Profile® Breast Tissue Expanders
Contour Profile Tissue Expanders are designed for use in two-stage breast reconstruction. As the tissue expander fills, the tissues over the expander begin to stretch, similar to the gradual expansion of a woman's abdomen during pregnancy. The tissue expander creates a new breast-shaped pocket for a breast implant. Mentor's line of Contour Profile Tissue Expanders feature a Low, Medium, and Tall height to help better fit to your individual body type.
All About Breast Implants:
Sizes, Texture and Styles Explained
What is the definition of a breast implant?
A breast implant has an exterior sac or implant shell made of silicone, a rubber-like substance. The implant is filled with one of two substances: silicone gel or saline. The implant is surgically implanted under your chest wall.
Breast Implant Size
Choosing the right size implant is generally the most important decision a woman and her surgeon will make. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your existing breast tissue to determine if you have enough tissue to accommodate the desired size of breast implant. Being realistic and following your doctor's recommendations is very essential for the best result possible.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE PHYSICAL REPERCUSSIONS OF IMPLANTS THAT ARE "TOO BIG" FOR ME?
With breast implants that are too large for the amount of breast tissue you have, the implants' edges may be visible through your skin after your operation or the implant may be more easily felt. You may also increase the risk of having surgical complications. Also, breast implants that are excessive in size may increase the effects of gravity on your body, which may cause your breasts to prematurely droop or sag.
Smooth and Textured Breast Implant Surfaces
Breast implant shells come in either a smooth or textured surface. And here is the difference. As a natural reaction to any device placed in the body, scar tissue will form around the breast implant surface, creating a capsule. In some women, the capsule can tighten and squeeze the implant. This occurrence is called capsular contracture.
Textured breast implants were designed to reduce the chance of capsular contracture. Some information in the literature on small numbers of patients suggests that surface texturing reduces the chance of severe capsular contracture, but clinical information from studies of a large number of women with Mentor implants shows no difference in the likelihood of developing capsular contracture with textured implants compared to smooth-surfaced implants.
