We have a set of specially shaped Mentor breast implant sizers designed to mimic the shape of a breast implant once it has been placed into the body. The Mentor Breast Implant Sizing System has greatly improved our ability to help our patients choose the properly sized breast implant for their desired breast augmentation result. In my opinion, using a product made in the United States which meets FDA standards is not only the best option for my patients but also patriotic, just my personal opinion. This event left surgeons who use those implants in “limbo.” In the past there have also been implant manufacturers in Europe that have had to close down due to lack of FDA approval for use of their implants in the United States. Recently a manufacturer in Brazil that supplied implants to the United States market has been closed down due to the discovery of microscopic “particles” on the outside of the implant shell. The United States imposes strict quality control standards for manufacturing that often exceed those of other countries. Mentor breast implants are the only FDA approved breast implants made in the United States. Before and After 300cc Mentor Breast Implants Mentor Breast Implants Are Made in the USA Since that learning experience in 1984 I have only used Mentor breast implants for my patients. I have no scientifically controlled study to prove my theory however it made sense to me that preventing leakage of silicone gel into the patient was beneficial to my breast augmentation patients. My interpretation of this experience was that the Mentor breast implant shell was better and prevented leaching of significant amounts of silicone gel to the outside of the implant and into the patient. When Mentor implants became available in 1984 I noticed that the outer shell of the implant was dry with no greasy film on the outside. What I noticed was that many silicone implants had a greasy film on the outside which represented silicone gel that had leaked through the implant shell, something referred to as implant “sweating.” This greasy material had to be wiped off with alcohol before the implant could be placed into the patient. During my Harvard plastic surgery residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital I had the opportunity to use breast implants from 3 different breast implant manufacturers. I have used these implants for the past thirty-one years.
