Breast Augmentation is a personal choice that can significantly impact self-esteem and body confidence.

Mentor Implants have revolutionized the realm of breast augmentation with their advanced technology and exceptional quality. At Sketch Plastic Surgery, we take pride in our highly acclaimed and experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Jung Hyun-Wook, who specializes in breast surgery.
What are Mentor Implants?
Mentor implants are breast implants manufactured by Mentor Worldwide LLC, they are FDA-approved and have been widely used in breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries for over 30 years. Nearly 7 million women worldwide have Mentor breast implants. The implants come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, so you can surely find one that suits you the best according to how you want it. Mentor breast implants were designed to look and feel natural. To add to that, Mentor Breast implants come with a lifetime replacement warranty.
Mentor MemoryGel Implants
The Mentor MemoryGel is known to feel more like natural breast tissue without compromising its reliability and safety. The MemoryGel has a proprietary cohesive gel, innovative shell design, and optimal fill. It also has a variety of shapes and sizes, and it is available in Smooth Microtexture. According to the Mentor MemoryGel 10-Year Core Gel Clinical Study, 98% of women reported being highly satisfied with the results after 10 years. This further shows the safety and effectiveness of MemoryGel implants.
The Mentor MemoryGel comes in different textures and sizes. Here are some of its variations:
Mentor MemoryGel Xtra
The Mentor MemoryGel Xtra provides an increase in projection, fullness, and firmness compared to the normal Mentor MemoryGel. It has a softer feeling and a thinner shell. It is chosen by 9 out of 10 consumers, and preferred by most surgeons. It also features propriety cohesive gel 2, innovative shell design, and precision fill which is calibrated to reduce implant wrinkling. Lastly, it has Moderate Plus and High Profile options.
Mentor MemoryGel Xtra: Nano Texture
These are made of a material with a semi-rough surface, since it has a texture between textured and smooth types. It feels and moves around as naturally as the smooth type, and does not require massage. It has a decreased incidence of capsular contracture and rupture. Many patients choose this type of implants because they better resemble a more natural look and feel.
Mentor MemoryGel Xtra: Smooth Texture
These are made of very soft and slippery material, and if you massage enough for 6 months after surgery, it will feel very soft like an actual breast. Once implanted, it moves naturally in any posture because it is similar to natural breast tissue. It has a relatively high incidence of capsular contracture.

Who are Good Candidates for Mentor Breast Implants?
The suitability of Mentor implants, or any other type of breast implant, depends on individual factors and personal preferences. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, and the decision to have Mentor implants should be made on a case-by-case basis with the guidance of a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. Here are people who are good candidates for breast augmentation:
- Patients should be in good overall health and free from any medical conditions that could pose risks during surgery or the recovery process.
- Patients who have fully developed breasts, this is typically around the age of 18 or older.
- Patients who are not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of the procedure.
- Patients with no active breast infections, cancer, or breast-related medical conditions.

Risks and complications
Breast implants generally have their own set of risks and complications. It is important to know them in order to be wise in choosing your breast implants and choose the best for you.
Here are some known complications of breast implants:
- Capsular Contracture: This is a common complication where scar tissue forms around the breast implant, causing the breast to feel firm or hard. It can change the shape of the breast and may require additional surgery to correct.
- Infection: Infections can occur in the breast implant pocket shortly after surgery or even years later. Infections may require antibiotic treatment or removal of the implant.
- Implant Rupture or Leakage: Breast implants can rupture or leak. Silicone gel implants may experience “silent” ruptures where the gel remains within the implant capsule.
- Implant Displacement or Shifting: Implants can shift from their original position, causing asymmetry or an unnatural appearance.
- Hematoma or Seroma: A hematoma is a collection of blood around the implant, and a seroma is a buildup of fluid. These may require drainage or additional procedures to address.
