Do different breast implants feel different?

0:28

When people are considering breast surgery, one of the questions we hear most is how the implants will feel. When you hold implants in your hand, you may notice a difference in feel depending on the type. But once they're actually inside the body, it's often hard to notice much of a difference. ✔ How the feel differs by implant type ✔ The real difference you notice inside the body A board-certified plastic surgeon explains in detail.

Video transcript

I carry this artificial skin around with me, so I lay it over the implants to cover them, and during consultations I have people close their eyes while I shuffle them around like a shell game. Then I say, “Tell me which is which,” and honestly, about 90% can't get it right. And the other 10% who do, if you ask me, were just guessing.

Even if I put down two identical implants, people still say they feel different. I'll put in a Mentor and another Mentor, and they'll go, “Oh, this one's softer.” In real life, you'll be touching the implant while it's covered inside your body. So whatever you feel handling them out here like this, once they're in your body, it'll be hard to tell them apart.

How they seem from the outside and how they feel inside your body can be a bit different.
