Modern endoprostheses (breast implants) are complex high-tech products that are subject to very high demands.
Breast implants must be:
- Very durable and airtight,
- Durable,
- Biocompatible,
- Resistant to deformation and displacement.
The world's best manufacturers (Mentor, Silimed, Eurosilicon and some others) guarantee strict compliance with all these requirements. The implants they produce cannot be destroyed or flattened; even if you drive a truck over them, they do not cause rejection and do not require regular replacement. Of course, all of them have passed the most stringent tests and numerous quality checks and have the appropriate patents and certificates of the USA, the European Union and the Russian Federation.
Another confirmation of high quality and reliability is the lifetime warranty from well-known manufacturers that they provide for their products.
How to choose the shape and size of implants?
Modern endoprostheses are round or anatomical (teardrop-shaped). Many people believe that anatomical ones are better because they more closely match the natural shape of the breast. This is not so, or rather not always so.
To solve some problems (for example, for an accentuated increase in the volume of the upper pole of the breast), round implants are better suited. That is why, after the advent of anatomically shaped endoprostheses, plastic surgeons still did not abandon the use of round models. So, if you are thinking about choosing the shape of an implant, we recommend that you consult with specialists. Only a qualified plastic surgeon will be able to choose from hundreds of options the very model that will make your breasts ideal.
Well, what if you don’t yet know what size and shape of breasts you need? It’s not for nothing that they say “it’s better to see once.” Order modeling with one or several implants of different sizes, and you will be able to clearly assess the advantages of your future breasts, and in several options.

Feedback from a patient after breast augmentation surgery with Mentor round implants 330 ml
OP 03/06/2015
March 01, 2015 The closer, the worse (((we agreed on round mentor 330 under the chest, but I don’t remember about the installation, but after reading, I will insist on under the muscle)
I want it to look natural, girth under the bust is 76 cm, height 163, weight 57, boar (maternity leave is making itself felt))), I managed to lose 5 kg, I will continue after the OP.
March 02, 2015 To be honest, I was not as afraid of childbirth as I was of surgery. And there is zero support, my husband says: if you’re afraid, don’t do it, my mother generally thinks that I’m doing nonsense (she likes it, maybe she’ll sit with the child for a week), but I don’t want to tell anyone else. So I’m digesting everything within myself (((
Well, the fact of the matter is that I’m also afraid of the consequences)). I am normally disposed to pain, everyone goes through this, no one has died, but I looked on the forum that there are complications and alterations(((, I don’t really want to get into these ranks(((. Although I trust the doc, 6 years ago I corrected my little ears for him, so I went along the well-trodden path)))). My husband, by the way, also said that you’ll give birth and do it if you want. But he didn’t think that it stuck with me))) ), does not quite share the initiative, but sponsored it, says that everything is fine, but I myself see that the chest is large, but the chest does not catch up)))
March 05, 2015 I’m not so afraid of the operation as I am of the consequences, and I’m still very worried about parting with my son (today I took him to his grandmother for a week in the region), the whole way back was very difficult, for the whole 1.5 years I left him for a maximum of 6 hours, and here it will take so long right away (((, but it’s for the better, I’ll recover and we’ll have love again)))
March 06, 2015 Tadadadaaaaam, everything went ok!)))) I also thought that they would discharge me tomorrow, but the doc said on the third day, I was upset, of course, but I definitely won’t do anything and will recover. I understood the term concrete slab on the chest)))), no more discomfort. Girls, when are the drains removed? And the butt and the back, of course, will go nuts tonight))))
For now like this
We placed round mentors under the 350 muscle.
March 08, 2015 Today was the first dressing change and the doc put on the fly ((((, this is crap!!!! I just adapted to the pressure on my chest, I began to breathe more or less, and then bam it tightened it even more (((. Sent me home today , I didn’t keep it until tomorrow, the next dressing is on Tuesday. To be honest, during today’s treatment I didn’t even turn my eyes towards the chest, it’s scary)))) the doc said that everything was ok, the drains were removed, a little accumulated during the day and said that It’s not scary if it gathers inside, it will obviously be a minuscule quantity and everything will be sucked back in. And as an added bonus, they gave me a gift on March 8th, very unexpectedly. I concluded that we need to plan something like this for the holidays))) I’m kidding, of course) ).
I haven’t had any pain at all, as such (now I’m on my third day). There is only discomfort from the tightness, but this cannot be solved with painkillers, but just wait until the swelling goes down and the compra grows, I am preparing myself for the fact that from the fifth day (like most people)) it will be easier and I will get used to it)))
March 17, 2015 We are 11 days old today, I think she’s being greedy, no?
I like the seam under one breast better than under the other, I hope both will be handsome))
I didn’t think they would be like this, they look more modest in compra. I put 350 round
March 18, 2015 Is cycle failure normal? I always had a clear day by day, but then it was day 20 and suddenly, out of the blue, M. appeared.
March 21, 2015 Yesterday we were 2 weeks old, also different in shape (one is rounder, the other is slightly elongated), but I’m trying not to overthink it, it’s still far from the final version... I’m already taking my little one in and out of the bath, no one to help , because our dad is at work late, but we need to bathe the child; but I don’t lift it with my chest muscle, but with my back.
And it also happens to you that on the outside of your chest there is such a piercing/cutting sensation, but I can’t feel what it is, and not all the time, but occasionally and mostly in a lying position, only my right breast behaves like this...
I have an appointment with the doc in a week, I’ll ask him, I don’t want to talk on the phone... Let’s listen to what else the girls have to say, don’t panic ahead of time!)))
Thank you dear! We'll wait))) now I'm getting used to boobs, at first I didn't like them, shapeless slides, that's understandable, I immediately wanted beauty without an intermediate period))))
March 22, 2015 The doc allowed me to wash from the 8th day after the OP, I went for dressings until the 10th day, only then he allowed me to process it myself. By the way, I washed myself after the 10th day, because I forgot to ask what and how to do... Apparently everyone has their own method and approach to rehab... He told me to wear the tape for a month and not take it off, do not unfasten it unless absolutely necessary (except for washing/treatment)
I have already become familiar with both compra and tape)))
March 23, 2015 In the first days (when I walked crookedly and thought, hello, hump), time seemed like rubber, but now 18 days are behind me, and so everything has been for a long time and my boobs are changing and becoming more familiar every day)))
For the first three days I lay there and thought, why the hell do I need these tits, I would live in peace and continue, I really really regretted what I did, and now it’s even a little funny how I don’t like feeling sorry for myself “at all”))))
I don’t sleep on my side, but only my head and butt with my legs to the side, but my back lies straight on the pillows, well, maybe there’s just a slight angle of inclination, and now I’ve gotten used to this position and don’t wake up at night, for the first week my husband’s back massaged in the middle of the night.
I have self-dissolving ones. (seams)
March 27, 2015 Girls, we are 3 weeks old today. I got used to the breasts, and then I saw enough of girls who, with round implants, almost immediately after the op, the lower pole is full and the papillae are looking up - now I’m not so happy about my breasts... when will I have this too??? I understand that it will take 3-6 months for everything to take shape and fall into place, but I still want to whine, even though I can speak out here, I can’t share with those around me - they’re not particularly supportive and I don’t want to complain to them!!!
We'll wait, but it's still better than it was))
March 28, 2015 Girls, thank you all very much for your support, it’s very nice, I’m in a good mood from you!!
April 05, 2015 Girls, I’m not writing anything because I don’t feel any discomfort, but I’m reading you!)) We’re a month old tomorrow, how quickly time flies. Nothing hurts, nothing drags. The only thing is that the bruises do not go away and one remains larger than the other. Sensitivity has returned to only one breast, the second is still on the sidelines)))), but I’m still happy, now it’s clearly better than it was before)))) and the stitches are still a terrible color, how can I get rid of this problem faster, please advise , please)
Here are my girls:)
The doctor said that they would come down again, wait 3-6 months, promised that they would hide in a fold, we’ll wait, but tomorrow we’ll have an appointment and I’ll terrorize him again)))
April 06, 2015 Today I visited the doctor - he said - everything is fine, it seems that the breasts are different because of the yellow bruise on one of the breasts and there is still swelling on top, he promised that the breasts would drop and the stitches would still be in the fold, invisible. From today he told me to apply Kelo-Coat or Dermatix on the seams.
April 10, 2015 Girls, don’t worry so much about asymmetry, I also moaned that my breasts were different, but today I’m 5 weeks old and in my opinion, my boobs have evened out. The only thing is that I will wait for the seam to go into the fold, I just have to wait, hope and believe that it will happen))).
And yesterday I organized a small party for my girls. It may seem strange to someone to take the same type of underwear, but girls, I’ve dreamed about this all my life, so when I went into the store, I said that I can’t do anything without push-up)))) I can’t convey my emotions, how I like it )))) took all 75C.
They have bones, but I pulled them out. Finding seedless ones is a problem. I only saw it in in-quarto, but there the color is beige and it looks like grandma’s underwear)))
I haven't been in such a good shopping mood for a long time. The emotions were beyond words. She walked and smiled like a fool. Thanks to our miracle doctors, for the fact that we can afford something we never even considered before!!! *ouo*
The doc told me that for up to 6 weeks I should wear compression with a tape, then during the day I can wear a bra without wires, and at night again with compression, the next visit will be at 2 months, then there will be new recommendations.
April 13, 2015 I treated with miramistin (you can spray it) or chlorhexidine instead, then for the first 4 weeks Argosulfan ointment, on top of the ointment was a mesh of branolind and an adhesive plaster over everything (the doc gave me, I don’t know how to describe it - it’s flesh-colored, but the texture is like masking tape similar)), and now I’m applying Kelo Kot ointment or Mepiform patch.
The story of the Nestle patient was taken from the forum.
How is the breast implant shell constructed?
The shell consists of several layers. This guarantees strength, eliminates “leakage” and even minimal evaporation of its contents. The surface of the implant shell can be smooth or rough.
For round implants this does not matter much, but for anatomical ones it is very important.
The rough surface prevents the implant from sliding and turning, keeping it in the correct position.
But not all textured (rough) surfaces fix the endoprosthesis in the tissues equally well. Implants from the world's leading manufacturers, used in the Doktorplastic clinic, are distinguished by good quality of fixation, so situations in which the implant moves are practically excluded.

Polyurethane implants. What are they and why are they needed?
In addition to silicone, plastic surgeons may offer you to install polyurethane-coated breast implants. The quality and basic properties of polyurethane endoprostheses correspond to silicone analogues, but the price is slightly higher. Their main difference is that the polyurethane shell practically does not slip in the tissues of the body. Polyurethane implants are most often used in repeated plastic surgeries to completely eliminate displacement (rotation) of the endoprosthesis.
Providing a lifetime warranty
Mentor offers a lifetime warranty with the possibility of a free replacement with the same product if an implant rupture is detected. In addition, free replacement is also carried out in the event of complex contracture development (in this case, the patient receives an additional ten-year guarantee). Absolutely any endoprosthesis produced by this company takes into account a large number of individual details that are inherent in any female body. The work of designers allows us to achieve the most realistic effect after installing the prosthesis.
provides a lifetime warranty on products
The production is equipped with the most modern automatic equipment, which operates under the control of high-precision electronics. Accordingly, only here are the most unique devices used, which make it possible to achieve the production of absolutely identical realistic implants.
Important ! You can always get a table from the manufacturer that will help you figure it out and decide on the right model. All products are marked for easy identification.
Size chart
Breast endoprostheses come with a special table that makes it easier to select the required model, and the products themselves have special markings that make it easier to insert them into the formed pocket during surgery.
An idea of the size chart of Mentor implants with characteristics can be obtained based on the photo presented below. It is very convenient and simple to use.
This Mentor implant size table makes it easy to choose the option that is most suitable for each woman in accordance with the width of the chest and the desired breast volume.
The lineup
The range of implants from the Mentor brand allows each patient to choose exactly the endoprosthesis that will help make her breasts attractive and at the same time natural.
Among all types of products produced, special tissue expander implants called Siltex Becker deserve special attention. They are used to perform reconstructive surgery on women who have had breast removal surgery (mastectomy). Such Mentor implants are characterized by the presence of two chambers, external and internal, filled with a special composition.
The inner chamber is filled with an isotonic solution, and the outer chamber with silicone gel. This design provides the opportunity to gradually, painlessly and gradually stretch the soft tissue in order to increase the volume of the skin pocket in which the implant is located. After reaching the required volume, a special tube and a port with valves for introducing expansion solutions are removed from the endoprosthesis structure. All this makes it possible to increase the area of tissue in the area of the removed mammary gland and at the same time provide the woman with natural sensations. In addition, the reliability of fixation of such Mentor breast expanding implants is ensured using the proprietary textured surface of these products.
