What is Mentor MemoryGel Xtra?
Mentor MemoryGel Xtra is a premium silicone gel-filled breast implant used for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction, developed to provide natural-looking enhancement while supporting long-term implant performance.
Are Mentor implants FDA approved?
According to the manufacturer information cited in the clinic's brochure, both the silicone gel and the outer shell have received U.S. FDA approval. Regulatory approval applies to the device and does not guarantee an individual surgical outcome.
How is implant size selected?
Selection is individualized after evaluating chest wall anatomy, existing breast tissue, soft tissue thickness, and your desired breast size and shape, combined with 3D simulation.
What is Vectra XT 3D simulation?
Vectra XT is a 3D imaging system used to capture body measurements, simulate different implant sizes, compare projected outcomes, and support shared decision-making between surgeon and patient.
Does the simulation guarantee my result?
No. Simulation helps you visualize potential outcomes and supports sizing discussions before surgery, but it is a planning aid rather than a guarantee of the final result.
How are breast implants monitored after surgery?
Follow-up imaging and routine assessments are recommended. Newline's approach includes comprehensive pre- and postoperative assessment and ultrasound-based implant monitoring.
How long is recovery?
Recovery depends on the surgical technique and individual healing. Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort are common during early recovery.
Can MemoryGel Xtra be used for reconstruction?
Mentor MemoryGel Xtra is used for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Whether it is appropriate for your case is determined during consultation.
Do implants need to be replaced over time?
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and some patients require revision or replacement. Recommended monitoring and what to watch for should be explained by your surgeon.
