18. What are the Mentor High Profiles/3000 Series?

Mentor Saline-filled (silicone elastomer shell) High Profile Implants, called also the Mentor 3000's, are new and improved. These implants are the same as standard saline implants but seem to have less rippling, more projection for the same size and less lateral base. This is a wonderful implant for women with small ribcages (smaller chest diameter) but a desire for more projection of the breasts. These women usually sacrificed one or the other, more projection and a less natural diameter or less projection but still a breast diameter in proportion to their body. The Mentor 3000 Series ends all that. Now these women are able to have their cake and eat it too. The High Profile implant is also smoother and as mentioned above has less rippling, or wrinkling most often seen at of the outer edge of the saline-filled implant. Women who do not have smaller ribcages, but still want more projection will find that if they choose to have High Profiles, they are trading cleavage for projection.

19. Do breasts with implants experience sagging over time?

All breasts relax as time passes, because the weight stretches the skin, elasticity is lost with age and the amount of breast tissue often decreases as the person gets older. These three factors mean that breasts can be expected to relax and sag whether or not there are implants present. The implants add some weight to the breast, which may increase the rate of relaxation, and yet implants and surrounding scar tissue can provide some internal support for the breasts. The overall result is that usually the breasts sag less -- but more so if you wear a properly fitting bra regularly. A patient cannot expect to go without a bra for the rest of their life once they get implants. Especially since with larger cup sizes as you will be returning to your plastic surgeon's office consulting for a breast lift (mastopexy).
