it all begins With You

For many women, feeling confident, alive and

vibrant goes hand-in-hand with looking their

best. For thousands of women, achieving such

confidence and personal satisfaction has come

from choosing breast augmentation. Following

their procedure, many women have gone on to

experience a transformation in how they feel

about themselves and their bodies.

There are many reasons women choose breast

augmentation. Some of them include:

ɶ enlarging their breasts to make their bodies

more proportional

ɶ reshaping and enlarging breasts that have

lost their shape due to breast-feeding

ɶ Balancing breasts that differ in size

or shape

Your reasons are very personal, and

your decisions about breast

augmentation should be made by

you and your surgeon based on

your personal needs, desires and

expectations.

Today, there are many options

available for women who

decide breast augmentation

is right for them.

This brochure is designed to

help you understand more

about breast augmentation

and all the options you have.

It is not intended to replace any

discussions between you and

your surgeon.

anatomY of the breast

The breast consists of milk ducts and glands,

surrounded by fatty tissue that provides its shape

and feel. The chest muscle (pectoralis major

muscle) is located beneath the breast. Factors

such as pregnancy (when milk glands are

temporarily enlarged), rapid weight loss and the

effects of gravity as you age can combine to

stretch your skin, which may cause your breast to

droop or sag.

It is important to realise that implants are used to

make the breast larger. Implants alone may not

adequately lift the breast, or correct the effects

of pregnancy, weight loss or skin stretching. Your

surgeon may suggest additional procedures at

the time of your breast augmentation, such as a

mastopexy, to help achieve improved breast lift.

about breast implants

Your surgerY

Breast augmentation procedures are usually

performed in a hospital room or surgery center.

You normally can go home the same day as

your surgery. General anesthesia is typically used,

so you will be asleep during your procedure.

The surgery usually lasts one to two hours. Your

doctor will make an incision and form a pocket

in which the breast implant is placed. When the

implant is in its proper position, the incision will be

closed with stitches.

To achieve the best results and to make your

recovery as quick as possible, your surgeon will

discuss with you specific surgical techniques that

are best suited for your individual needs.

- 5 -

Breast implant defined:

A breast implant is a sac

(implant shell) of silicone

elastomer, filled with

silicone gel or saline, that is

surgically implanted under

your breast tissue or under

your chest muscle. Mentor

makes two basic types:

Gel-filled and Saline-filled

Breast Implants.

- 7 -

Mentor gel-filled breast implants are called MemoryGelTM Breast Implants

MemoryGelTM Breast Implants feature a unique

cohesive gel. This means that the gel filler acts

as a solid unit rather than a liquid. The gel holds

together uniformly, while retaining the natural

“give” that resembles actual breast tissue. The

gel-filled breast implant usually offers you a more

natural look and feel. MemoryGelTM Implants

are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes,

profiles, surface texture choices and cohesive

levels to fit different body types.

Breast Implant shapes and sizes

Depending on the desired shape you wish to achieve, you and your surgeon may choose either a round or contoured implant. Both shapes are available with gel-filled and saline-filled.

Mentor contoured gel-filled breast implants are called CONTOUR PROFILETM Gel (or CPGTM) Breast Implants. Contoured implants have a teardrop shape and can

provide patients with a more natural look and feel.

Breast implants are measured in cubic

centimeters, or cc’s, not in cup sizes. The size of

the implant used depends on the size and shape

of the individual woman’s chest

Your surgeon will also evaluate your existing breast and skin tissue to determine if you have enough to cover the breast implant you are considering, or in some cases such as after pregnancy, too much extra skin. If you desire a breast implant size that is too large for your tissue, your surgeon may warn you that the breast implant edges may be visible or palpable following your surgery. Also, excessively large breast implants may speed up the effects of gravity on the breast, and can result in droop or sag at an earlier age.

- 8 -

- 7 - - 8 -

A recent report indicates that larger sized implants (greater than 350 cc) may be too large for many women, increasing the risk of developing complications such as extrusion, hematoma, infection, palpable implant folds and visible skin wrinkling. Surgical intervention could be required to correct these complications1.

Mentor also offers an adjustable gel breast implant called (Round) SPECTRATM Adjustable Gel Breast Implant. The SPeCTrATM has the advantages of a silicone

gel breast implant with an adjustable saline

inner-lumen that can be adjusted both intra-and

post-operatively.

Implant profiles

In addition to size and shape, breast implants are available in different profiles (which refers to the amount of forward projection off the chest wall). Generally, the larger you want your cup size, the larger the breast implant your surgeon will consider. With respect to the profile you would like to achieve, you and your surgeon may choose a round or contoured implant.

MenTor® ConToUr ProFILeTM Gel Breast Implants, or CPGTM, offers 3 projections to match patient's unique physiology.

Implant surfaces

Breast implants are available with either a smooth or textured surface. mentor has a textured breast implant surface called SiLTeXTm.

Together with your surgeon, you can decide which implant shape, size, profile and surface texture is

right for you.

All Cohesive, All the TimeTM

All of the MenTor® MemoryGelTM Breast Implants use a gel that is cohesive, safe and aesthetically pleasing. We offer three degrees of cohesive filling material, from soft to firm:

ɶ Cohesive ITM—the softest-feeling gel

ɶ Cohesive IITM—slightly firmer

ɶ Cohesvie IIITM—Mentor’s firmest gel

Smooth round MemoryGelTM Breast Implant

MenTor® ConToUr ProFILeTM Gel Breast Implants are filled with the most cohesive gel, Cohesive IIITM, to maintain their natural shape.

Why this picture matters to you: We have cut a MemoryGelTM Breast Implant in half to demonstrate how the gel material can hold together uniformly. It does this because of a cohesive, gelatin-like substance that acts as a solid rather than a liquid maintaining its shape.

Saline Breast implants

Saline-filled breast implants are filled with a saltwater solution during surgery that is similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body. For many women, deciding what breast size they want is the most difficult part about choosing implants. Saline comes in round and ConToUr ProFILeTM shape, in smooth and SILTeXTM surface.

mentor also offers an adjustable Saline Breast implant called the SPeCTRUmTm Adjustable Saline Breast implant.

MenTor® round and ConToUr ProFILeTM SPeCTrUMTM Implants are the only saline-filled breast Implants with a removable fill tube that lets your physician adjust the size of your implants for up to six months after your procedure by either adding or removing saline through the fill tube.

incision and placement choices

Per iareolar Incis ion

Inframammary Incis ion

Transaxi l lary Incis ion

Incisions

Breast augmentation is normally performed using one of three common incision sites: under the arm (transaxillary), around the nipple (periareolar), or within the breast fold (inframammary).

ɶ Transaxillary—This incision is less concealed, but it might be a good option for women who do not want any scars on their breasts.

ɶ Periareolar—This incision is typically more concealed, but since it also involves cutting through the breast tissue, it is associated with a higher likelihood of breastfeeding difficulties, as compared to the other incision sites2. Cutting through the tissue may increase the chance that there will be a change in breast or nipple sensation.

ɶ Inframammary—This incision is generally less concealed and may cause fewer breastfeeding dificulties than the periareolar incision site.

Your surgeon will explain each incision choice to you in greater detail and help you make the decision that is right for you.

Placement

During a breast augmentation procedure, the

implants will either be placed under the chest

muscle (submuscular) or on top of the muscle

and under the breast glands (subglandular).

ɶ Submuscular Placement

may reduce the chances of your implants

being felt through your skin, and it may

help reduce the chance of scar tissue

hardening around your implants. It also will

make it easier to image your breast during

a mammogram. Possible disadvantages of

this placement choice could be a longer

surgery and recovery time.

ɶ Subglandular Placement

can make your augmentation surgery

shorter and reduce your recovery time.

A possible disadvantage could be

having your implant edges more visibly

noticeable under your skin. Imaging

during a mammogram can also be more

difficult when your implants are placed

subglandularly.

Your surgeon can speak with you regarding how

each placement option relates to your individual

needs. Then you can make a decision regarding

which option is right for you.

Your recoverY

every woman’s recovery is different. In general,

you will probably feel a little sore for several days

following your breast augmentation surgery.

The first 24 to 72 hours after your procedure is

when you will experience the most discomfort.

Your breasts will be swollen and very tender.

Although every woman’s recovery is different,

you should be able to resume light activities in

approximately one week.

An important part of your recovery may involve

wearing a postoperative bra or compression

garment. These are designed to provide you with

extra support while you heal. Your doctor also

may have other specific suggestions for you to

follow while you recover. If any problems occur

after your breast implant surgery, contact your

surgeon immediately.

breast implant safetY studY information

For the past several years, there have been

many reports in the media about women with

breast implants who have autoimmune disease

or breast cancer. Also during this time, many

respected medical professionals and institutions

have conducted scientific studies about the

safety of breast implants. Mentor is pleased to

be able to provide the public with up-to-date

information about breast implant studies.

Institute of Medicine

In June 1999, the national Academy Institute

of Medicine issued a report that included the

following conclusion: In an overall consideration

of the epidemiological evidence, the committee

noted that because there are more than 1.5

million adult women of all ages in the United

States with silicone breast implants, some of

these women would be expected to develop

connective tissue diseases, cancer, neurological

diseases or other systemic complaints or

conditions. evidence suggests that such

diseases or conditions are no more common

in women with breast implants than in women

without implants. The full text of the publication,

Information for Women About the Safety of

Silicone Breast Implants—A report of a Study by

the Institute of Medicine5, is available online at

Independent review Group

The Independent review Group (IrG) on Silicone

Breast Implants was assembled by the Chief

Medical Officer of the UK to review the possible

health issues associated with silicone gel breast

implants. Members of the IrG were selected for

their independent views, their knowledge and

understanding of the issues, and lack of any

financial interest in the conclusions they reached.

Led by Professor roger D. Sturrock, MD, FrCP,

the IRG reported in 1998 that there is no scientific

evidence of an association between silicone

gel-filled breast implants and any established

connective tissue disease. The complete report is

available online at www.silicone-review.gov.uk6.

european Committee on Quality Assurance

In July 1998, the european Committee on Quality

Assurance and Medical Devices in Plastic Surgery

released a report that contained the following

conclusions: There are conclusive scientific,

clinical, immunological, epidemiological data,

that silicone gel-filled breast implants do not

cause any autoimmune nor connective tissue

diseases. Their report also stated, Updated studies continue to show that silicone gel-filled implants do not cause cancer nor other malignant disease. The

important safetY information:MenTor® MemoryGelTM and MenTor® Saline-Filled Breast Implants are indicated for breast augmentation—in women who are at least 18 years old—or for breast reconstruction. Breast implant surgery should not be performed in women with active infection anywhere in their body, with existing cancer or precancer of their breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions or are pregnant or nursing.

There are risks associated with breast implant surgery. Breast implants are not lifetime devices and breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery. You may need additional unplanned surgeries on your breast because of complications or unacceptable cosmetic outcomes. Many of the changes to your breast following implantation are irreversible (cannot be undone) and breast implants may affect your ability to breastfeed, either by reducing or eliminating milk production.

The most common complications with MemoryGelTM Breast Implants include reoperation, capsular contracture, asymmetry, and breast pain. A lower risk of complication is implant rupture, which is most often silent (meaning neither you nor your doctor will know you have a rupture). The health consequences of a ruptured silicone gel-filled breast implant have not been fully established. Screenings such as mammography, MrI, or ultrasound are recommended after initial implant surgery to assist in detecting implant rupture.

The most common complications with MenTor® Saline-Filled Breast Implants include reoperation, implant removal, capsular contracture, wrinkling, breast pain and deflation.

Patients are reminded to discuss the indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and the risks and benefits associated with MenTor® Breast Implants with their surgeons or review detailed risk information on line at www.mentorwwllc.com.

It is important that you understand the risks associated with breast implant surgery when considering MenTor® Breast Implants.
