Mentor Breast Implants Saline & Silicone Gel • Mentor’s implants have a lower deflation rate, which reduces the need for secondary surgery due to deflation. • We prefer the shell (the outer edge) of the Mentor implants. • They are less likely to wrinkle and show under your skin when implanted. • We’ve found that you are less likely to be able to feel the edges of Mentor implants once they are implanted (i.e, they are less palpable). • They are made in the U.S.A.
