As the name suggests the MemoryGel™ Smooth Round High Profile Breast Implants are round in shape (not anatomically shaped), have a high profile, giving them more of a bulge on side view (the most perkiness for your buck), and are encased in a smooth silicone elastomer shell. The advantages of using textured versus smooth breast implants are discussed in another section of this text, but are more related to physician preference, and beliefs regarding skin palpability than scientific data. The biggest advantage of the round high profile implants is this protuberance, considered youthful by many patients, and plastic surgeons. Another considerable advantage is the ability to use higher volume implants in patients with narrow chest walls because the width of the implant base is narrower. In addition, the use of silicone allows for the use of the MemoryGel™ Smooth Round High Profile Breast Implants in breasts with less skin and soft tissue cover. Some physicians prefer to use the larger size breast implants in moderate breast ptosis (sagging breasts) to avoid extra incisions. Use of silicone implants, because of their consistency, is ideal in such cases, especially when the lower pole of the breast has little soft tissue cover. The particular proprietary polymer employed in the Mentor devices is a cohesive gel that is purported to have more consistency such that even in cases of ruptured breast implants it is said not to leak as fast or as much. The disadvantages include a sacrifice of cleavage, owing to the decrease in the base diameter of the implant, and a drop in upper pole fullness for the same reason. In addition some women find the look imparted by the high profile breast implant too perky.
