Why Dr Turner Prefers Mentor Implants

If you’re considering breast implants for breast augmentation, you may have heard of the two leading brands in Australia: Motiva and Mentor implants. These are among the most reputable breast implant options available, trusted by plastic surgeons and women worldwide for their excellent results. Over time, Dr. Turner has come to prefer Mentor implants for most of his patients, thanks to their clinical outcomes and reliable performance.

More than six million women globally have used Mentor implants with high levels of satisfaction, making them a preferred choice for breast augmentation procedures.

Why Choose Mentor Implants?

Mentor implants are among the most trusted brands in the world. With over 40 years of experience in breast implant manufacturing, Mentor has consistently delivered top-quality products that are both safe, long-lasting and are FDA-approved.

Dr. Turner has used both Mentor and Motiva implants extensively in his practice. After years of experience, he now predominantly uses Mentor implants due to their excellent safety profile, aesthetic results, and stability in implant placement. Patients who choose Mentor implants can expect with fewer complications, offering peace of mind during and after the breast augmentation process.

Types of Mentor Implants Dr Turner uses?

Mentor implants come in both silicone and saline options, with different profiles and textures to suit individual preferences and anatomical considerations.

Here are the two most common types of Mentor implants used by Dr. Turner:

1. Mentor Silicone MemoryGel® Xtra Round Implants
   • These are used in 70% of Dr. Turner’s breast augmentation and breast lift with implant procedures.
   • MemoryGel Xtra implants are filled with Mentor’s high cohesive silicone gel which offer superior shape retention and are preferred for creating fuller, rounder breasts with excellent projection.
   • They are available in various profiles, such as moderate plus and high profile, allowing patients to achieve their desired results.
2. Mentor Silicone CPG® Anatomical Implants
   • These are used in 30% of Dr. Turner’s patients, these teardrop-shaped implants offer a more natural, subtle look. The anatomical shape is ideal for women seeking less projection in the upper breast and more in the lower part, resembling the natural contours of the breast.
   • These implants are made with Mentor’s cohesive gel, which ensures that the implant retains its shape while maintaining a smooth, natural feel.

Benefits of Mentor Implants

Mentor implants offer several key benefits that make them a top choice for women considering breast augmentation or reconstruction:

1. Wide Range of Options: Mentor implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and profiles, allowing Dr. Turner to tailor the procedure to each patient’s unique body and aesthetic goals. Whether you want fuller, rounder breasts or a more subtle, natural look, Mentor offers solutions to suit your needs. The implants come in both round and anatomical (teardrop) shapes, giving flexibility depending on the patient’s preference and anatomy.
2. Implant Stability: Mentor implants with the low textured Siltex surface procedures a reliable implant capsule that gives excellent stability and low rates of implant malposition that can occur with nanotextured implants.
3. Durability and Long-Lasting Results: While no breast implant is considered “lifetime” due to natural wear and tear over the years, Mentor implants are built with high-quality materials that are durable and safe. The cohesive gel in silicone implants ensures that even if the implant shell is compromised, the gel remains in place, reducing the risk of complications.
4. Comprehensive Warranty Coverage: Mentor provides lifetime product replacement for confirmed rupture cases and even offers financial assistance for surgery costs in cases of complications like capsular contracture (Baker III/IV), double capsule, or late-stage seroma. This extensive warranty is one of the most generous in the industry and offers patients peace of mind.
5. FDA-Approved and Proven Safety: Mentor implants are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have been rigorously tested to meet the highest safety standards. Long-term clinical studies have shown that women who choose Mentor implants are highly satisfied with their results and experience fewer complications compared to other brands.

Mentor Implant Longevity

While Mentor implants don’t have a specific expiration date, they do have a limited lifespan. It’s generally recommended that breast implants be replaced after 10 to 20 years, depending on individual circumstances. Over time, the natural scar tissue around the implant can harden (capsular contracture), which may lead to discomfort and changes in the appearance of the breast. In such cases, the implants may need to be replaced or removed.
