As a testament to providing the highest standards in plastic surgery, Dr. Carlos Chacon utilizes the three most trusted makers — Sientra®, Allergan®, and Mentor® saline and silicone implants for every San Diego breast augmentation client. Mentor® announced in a press release on June 14 that one of their silicone implants was recently approved by FDA — the MemoryShape™ breast implants.
Teardrop Shaped Implants
The recently-approved Mentor silicone implants have a slightly tapered appearance. With its teardrop shape and highly cohesive gel, these implants are suitable for women who wish to retain the youthful firmness and natural look of their breasts. Also, it is interesting to note that each MemoryShape™ breast implant features the SILTEX® Texture which help keep the implant in place.
Silicone breast implants are indicated for breast enhancement surgeries in women who are at least 22 years old and breast reconstruction.
