Mentor Breast Implants
When it comes to breast implants, safety, longevity, and natural aesthetics are paramount. I often recommend the Mentor MemoryGel and MemoryGel Xtra Breast Implants.
These implants are widely recognized for their exceptional quality and performance. Manufactured in the USA, Mentor implants are approved by both the FDA and MHRA, reflecting their high safety and manufacturing standards.
They have been trusted in the industry for over 30 years, offering patients a reliable choice for both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
Why Choose Mentor Implants?
Mentor implants are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue. Unlike saline implants, which can feel less natural, these silicone gel-filled implants provide a softer, more realistic texture.
They are available in a range of sizes, shapes, and projections, allowing for a tailored approach to suit each patient’s body type and aesthetic goals.
Here are some key features:
Highly Cohesive Silicone Gel
The gel filler stays uniform, offering a natural feel and look while maintaining shape retention.
Projection Options
From classic to ultra-high profile, patients can choose the level of projection that best complements their figure.
Surface Options
Smooth or micro-textured shell surfaces provide flexibility based on patient needs.
Safety and Reliability
Backed by Mentor’s warranty, including lifetime replacement for rupture and financial assistance in specific cases.
Tailoring Mentor Implant to Your Needs
All MENTOR® Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants contain gel that is cohesive, conforms to safety standards and aesthetically pleasing.
There are three different levels of cohesive gel available allowing your surgeon some extra flexibility in matching the implant to your needs.
Cohesive one
This is the standard cohesive level gel used in MENTOR® Breast Implants. This is the softest gel and has been preferred for years in textured and smooth Round Low, Moderate, Moderate Plus, High, and Ultra High Profile Gel Breast Implants as well as the BECKERTM Expander/ Breast Implants.
Cohesive two
This is a slightly firmer gel, and I find this useful under tighter tissue, and where I want to impart the shape of the implant more on the surrounding breast. This gel is used in the entire textured Round Moderate, Moderate Plus, High Profile Gel Breast Implants and Becker Expanders.
Cohesive three
This is Mentor’s most cohesive gel. It is a firmer implant and this serves a specific purpose in the tear drop implants to ensure shape retention with a pleasing level of firmness for optimal aesthetic results with tear drop implants. This gel is used only in the MENTOR CPG Gel Breast Implants.

Capsular Contracture FAQ
Mentor breast implants are premium silicone breast implants manufactured by Mentor Worldwide LLC, part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. They are widely used for both breast augmentation and breast reconstruction and have been used internationally for more than 30 years.
Mentor implants are known for their extensive clinical data, wide range of sizes and profiles, and natural feel. They offer surgeons significant flexibility when tailoring breast augmentation or reconstruction to a patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Mentor implants are manufactured to rigorous quality and safety standards and have both FDA approval and CE certification. Like all breast implants, they carry potential risks and are not considered lifetime devices, but they have a long-established track record of safety and performance.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices and may eventually require replacement or removal. Many patients enjoy their implants for many years, although future surgery may be needed due to ageing, implant rupture, capsular contracture, or changes in aesthetic preference.
Mentor offers a wide range of implant options, including different sizes, profiles, shapes and levels of gel cohesiveness. This allows implants to be selected according to the patient’s body shape, breast tissue and desired outcome.
Yes. Mentor provides a comprehensive warranty programme that includes lifetime replacement of implants in the event of confirmed rupture, together with additional support for certain implant-related complications occurring within specified time periods.
