Our Commitment to Safety
MENTOR™ Breast Implants are backed by substantial clinical data demonstrating safety and effectiveness in both augmentation and reconstruction, including 10-year clinical trials.1
We have proudly supplied Australian women with breast implants for over 20 years.
Breast Implant Ingredients
The shells of all MENTOR™ Breast Implants and Tissue Expanders are constructed from medical grade silicone elastomer. The shells are then filled with either our medical-grade, cohesive silicone gel during the manufacturing process or saline at the time of surgery by the surgeon. Toxicology testing has confirmed that the silicone material used in implants have a low risk of complications.
Platinum is the only metal added during the manufacturing process for the silicone gel and shells of breast implants and tissue expanders. Scientific evidence supports that the extremely low level of the specific type of platinum used in breast implants that may diffuse through the shell doesn’t represent a significant health risk.2
