Considering Breast Augmentation? You’ve likely encountered both Motiva and Mentor breast implants. This blog will directly compare these two leading implant brands and answer your most pressing questions.
INDEX
WHAT ARE ‘GUMMY BEAR’ BREAST IMPLANTS?
Silicone breast implants are sometimes called “Gummy Bear” implants because they contain a cohesive gel. This gel is thick, has a gummy-like consistency, and maintains its shape. Both Mentor and Motiva manufacture these Silicone, or “Gummy Bear,” breast implants.
WHAT IS THE DIRRENCE?
Both Motiva and Mentor are renowned brands, highly regarded by Plastic Surgeons for their exceptional-quality breast implants, available in a variety of shapes, profiles, and sizes. However, the distinction between Mentor and Motiva implants lies in their unique manufacturing technologies and materials.
Which one is better?
Both implant brands are globally recognised for their high quality. However, suitability is highly individual, as what works well for one person may not be ideal for another.
While it is helpful to research your options, the final recommendation must come from your Plastic Surgeon. They will partner with you to determine the perfect implant brand, shape, size, and placement by considering your desired results, anatomy, and lifestyle.
