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. 

A more natural look and feel starts with the right implant choice

Dr. Kelishadi is amazing!!! He made me feel so comfortable! I had Breast Augmentation  May 26th. I'm three months out and loving my results! I was very self conscious  about my chest. My breasts shrunk due to breast feeding. I didn't even want to change in front of my husband.  (he loved them no matter what lol) and now I am feeling so great about it! He said he's even noticed a boost in my confidence level. I love it! i feel good..i feel sexy. I never thought I  would actually go through with getting this done, but Dr. Kelishadi and his staff helped me with every step of the way. He was very caring and checked up on me after surgery. His staff was very nice as well. All so helpful! I highly recommend him!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have met the SSK team.  I initially started with the med spa team at SSK and knew that I needed to do a breast augmentation consultation there as well.  From beginning to end, every single doctor/nurse and even Valerie at the front desk, involved in my procedures reached out giving clear instructions and also daily check-ins after my breast aug surgery.   Their patient care is beyond incredible.  The team gives you all of the instructions pre and post op, and they even go as far as giving you a sweet post op bag including the cutest, softest, coziest jump suit to wear into and out of the hospital on surgery day.  I am so so pleased with the team’s attention to detail, but more importantly, they are an exceptional care team you want and need!  Thank you SSK!  -Steph

I recently had a breast revision/augmentation with a lift by Dr Kelishadi and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! He is known as the King of Cleavage and definitely lives up to the name. His staff is friendly, professional, and prompt to answer calls and respond to emails. It was also super nice and convenient having Dr Sherry as part of the team helping with all the medications ordered. On my pre op visit, I was given a bag with all the medications I would need for my surgery and recovery. Dr Sherry would text and make sure I didn’t have any questions which was so appreciated. After my surgery, Dr Kelishadi would call and check in to make sure I was doing well. If I had a questions or concerns, Dr Kelishadi would promptly call and answer all the questions I had. He is genuinely a great person and an amazing Surgeon that I would highly recommend.

I recently underwent a transformative experience at SSK Plastic Surgery, having a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and liposuction in the flanks and back. Being a mom to a 10 month old, I was pretty anxious about this procedure but right from my initial consultation, I was confident that I was in the hands of professionals who truly care. Now, just 3 days post-op, I caught a glimpse of my results and I’m beyond thrilled! Dr. Kalishadi’s skillful work has exceeded my expectations.On the day of the surgery, the entire team’s kindness helped alleviate any pre-surgery jitters. Dr. Kalishadi went above and beyond by personally reaching out to check on my recovery. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone seeking outstanding results and genuine care. Also shout out to Dr. Sherry, Valerie and Brianna who were also lovely! Thank you all so much!

I recently underwent a breast revision procedure at SSK Plastic Surgery, and I must say that my experience far exceeded my expectations.  From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.  Here’s why I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelishadi for anyone considering breast revision: Dr. Kelishadi is an exceptional plastic surgeon.  From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, Dr. Kelishadi displayed remarkable expertise and a genuine care for my well-being.  He took the time to listen to and provided me with detailed explanations of the procedure.  The entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery was welcoming, friendly and professional.  They made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and their knowledge and expertise to my needs were remarkable.  One aspect that truly impressed me was the personalized approach they took throughout the entire journey.  I even worked with Dr. Sherrie for my hormones prior to surgery and needless to say I feel much better now.  I felt that she too was invested in my overall health.  Lastly, when it came to deciding the appropriate size for my revision, I had to place my trust in Dr. Kelishadi’s expertise and technique.  I discussed my desired goals with him, and he carefully assessed my body proportions, existing breast tissue and overall aesthetic balance.  Although I had initial apprehension about relinquishing control over to the size decision, I am thrilled to say that I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.  The size chosen by Dr. Kelishadi was absolutely perfect!  I would highly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery!
