Mentor Canada Breast Implants - Size and Style Overview

For many women, deciding what breast size they want can be the most difficult part about choosing breast augmentation. Generally, the larger you want your final augmented cup size to be, the larger the breast implant you and your plastic surgeon will consider using. Your surgeon will evaluate your body's unique shape, proportions, and existing breast tissue to determine the best fit for the best size breast implant to meet your desired larger breast size. All of Mentor's breast implants used for breast augmentation are filled with MemoryGel™ cohesive silicone gel or a saline (salt water) solution

Mentor offers breast implants in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate various body types. Our range of round saline breast implants include High Profile, Moderate Plus Profile, and Moderate Profile – each offering a different level of projection (profile) for an individual woman's preference and body type. In fact, Mentor was the first breast implant manufacturer to offer the High Profile Breast Implant – offering a larger projection – and is particularly designed for women with a narrower chest wall.

Shaped Breast Implants and Round Breast Implants

Mentor breast implants come in either round or contoured shapes and are filled with MemoryGel™ cohesive silicone gel or a saline (salt water) solution. Contour Profile® shaped breast implants feature a contoured (shaped) profile that re-creates the more teardrop outline of a mature breast. Round style implants are currently the most popular breast implant choice for breast augmentation. Round implants shapes are available in a wide array of sizes to accommodate various body types. Together you and your physician will select the option that is best for you, and most likely to achieve the aesthetic result you desire.

The Spectrum® family of adjustable breast implants have a valve on the back (posterior) of the implant that allows saline to be added after surgery (postoperative adjustability). Mentor's Spectrum® implant is an innovative saline breast implant that lets your plastic surgeon adjust the size of your breasts after your breast augmentation surgery.

British Columbia Plastic Surgery Price & Costs

A guide to help estimate the cost of your augmentation surgery.

Prices for breast augmentation (often referred to as augmentation mammaplasty) can vary widely. Factors that contribute to the price include the type of breast implant used, where you live, surgery-related expenses, and your plastic surgeon's fees.

For 2004, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery each cite an average figure near $3,400 (US dollars) for just the surgeon's fees for breast surgery with breast implants. However a surgeon's cost for breast augmentation may vary based on his or her experience, as well as geographic location.

It is likely that the actual cost of the entire breast augmentation surgical procedure will be more than the estimated $3,400 (US dollars) figure. Additional costs may include:

• Hospital or surgical facility fees
• Anesthesia fees for surgery
• Prescriptions for medication
• Post-surgery garments
• Medical tests, and other miscellaneous costs

When choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation, remember that the experience of the surgeon with breast implants and your comfort with him or her are all equally as important as the final cost of the surgery.

We encourage you to ask your friends who may have had cosmetic procedures and to ask potential doctors as many questions as possible to understand the procedure and how he or she can help you to obtain your aesthetic surgery goals.
