For almost anyone exploring breast augmentation today, one of the most exciting innovations to consider is the MENTOR MemoryGel Enhance breast implants. At SSK Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, Dr. Sean Kelishadi offers this new generation of implants as an advanced option for women who want more than the traditional look and feel. So, how do these modern implants differ from standard silicone implants? It starts with the details: firmness, shape, and how naturally they move and feel in the body.
What are MENTOR Enhance implants made of?
The MENTOR Enhance implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that's engineered for balance. They are soft enough to resemble natural breast tissue, yet with sufficient structure to maintain their shape. Compared to older silicone breast implants, the formulation used in these Enhance models provides better form stability, which simply means they hold their shape better under pressure or movement. This is ideal for those wanting natural-feeling breast implants without sacrificing projection or fullness. Dr. Kelishadi emphasizes that the unique implant shell design also adds durability while still feeling soft to the touch.
How does firmness affect the final result?
One key difference lies in the implant firmness levels. The Enhance line is available in Moderate, Moderate Plus, and High Profile, giving patients greater control over how firm or soft the implants feel once placed. Traditional silicone implants offer some variation in firmness, but the Mentor MemoryGel Enhance implants were designed to bridge the gap between soft and structured. This makes them ideal for women who want a fuller look that still feels natural when touched. Firmness can also affect how the breast sits on the chest wall, how much breast volume is added, and how well the implant holds up over time.
Do shape and profile options matter?
Dr. Kelishadi helps each patient at SSK Plastic Surgery choose the breast implant shape and profile to complement their unique body. The Mentor Enhance implants are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes to match various anatomy types, which means more customized results. Whether someone wants a more subtle contour or a fuller, rounder appearance, these modern silicone breast implants make it easier to achieve the desired look with fewer compromises.
