Styles of Saline and Silicone Gel Breast Implants in
West Palm Beach
For many women, deciding what breast size they want can be the most difficult part about choosing breast augmentation. Generally, the larger you want your final augmented cup size to be, the larger the breast implant you and your plastic surgeon will consider using. Your surgeon will evaluate your body's unique shape, proportions, and existing breast tissue to determine the best fit for the best size breast implant to meet your desired larger breast size. Mentor offers breast implants in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate various body types. Our range of round MemoryGel™ silicone gel or saline breast implants include High Profile, Moderate Plus Profile, and Moderate Profile – each offering a different level of projection (profile) for an individual woman's preference and body type. In fact, Mentor was the first breast implant manufacturer to offer the High Profile Breast Implant – offering a larger projection – and is particularly designed for women with a narrower chest wall. All of Mentor's breast implants used for breast augmentation are either MemoryGel™ silicone gel-filled or saline-filled.
Silicone Gel Breast Implants
MemoryGel™ silicone breast implants feature a cohesive, gelatin-like silicone substance that acts as a solid rather than a liquid. It holds together uniformly while still retaining the natural give of breast tissue. You can see an example of this in the photo of the breast implant to the right. Simply put: MemoryGel™ silicone breast implants feel more like natural breast tissue.
Saline Breast Implants
Saline breast implants are inflated with a saline (salt water) solution through a valve. Saline is much like the fluid that makes up most of the human body.
Shaped Breast Implants and Round Breast Implants
Mentor breast implants come in either round or contoured shapes. Contour Profile® shaped breast implants feature a contoured (shaped) profile that re-creates the more teardrop outline of a mature breast. These more naturally shaped saline breast implants are filled with saline (salt water). Round style implants are currently the most popular breast implant choice for breast augmentation. Round implants shapes are available in a wide array of sizes to accommodate various body types and are available either with saline or MemoryGel™ silicone gel. Together you and your physician will select the option that is best for you, and most likely to achieve the aesthetic result you desire.

The Spectrum® family of adjustable breast implants have a valve on the back (posterior) of the implant that allows saline to be added after surgery (postoperative adjustability). Mentor's Spectrum® implant is an innovative saline breast implant that lets your plastic surgeon adjust the size of your breasts after your breast augmentation surgery.
Breast Augmentation Price Information for
West Palm Beach, FL
A guide to help estimate the cost of your plastic surgery.
Prices for breast augmentation (often referred to as augmentation mammaplasty) can vary widely. Factors that contribute to the price include the type of breast implant used, where you live, surgery-related expenses, and your plastic surgeon's fees.
For 2004, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery each cite an average figure near $3,4001 for just the surgeon's fees for breast surgery with breast implants. However a surgeon's cost for breast augmentation may vary based on his or her experience, as well as geographic location.
It is likely that the actual cost of the entire breast augmentation surgical procedure will be more than the estimated $3,4001 figure. Additional costs may include:
- Hospital or surgical facility fees
- Anesthesia fees for surgery
- Prescriptions for medication
- Post-surgery garments
- Medical tests, and other miscellaneous costs
When choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation, remember that the experience of the surgeon with breast implants and your comfort with him or her are all equally as important as the final cost of the surgery.
We encourage you to ask your friends who may have had cosmetic procedures and to ask potential doctors as many questions as possible to understand the procedure and how he or she can help you to obtain your aesthetic surgery goals.
