Choosing breast implants is an exciting—and nerve-wracking—part of your decision to get breast augmentation. What if you were able to “try on” breast implants in the comfort of your home before you consult with a plastic surgeon? That’s possible with a visualizer from Mentor®, one of the world’s leading makers of breast implants.

How the New You Visualizer Works for You

Mentor’s New You Visualizer allows you to securely upload a photo of yourself and make modifications based on implant size, shape, and position. You can also design customized before-and-after images that you can print or save online for later. You can bring these simulated images with you when you meet with Dr. Collins for your first consultation. This will help eliminate some of the ambiguity that can arise when discussing your cosmetic goals and expectations.

Choosing Breast Implants

Breast implants come in a range of materials and shapes. Saline breast implants are made with an outer silicone shell and filled with sterile saline. Implants filled with cohesive silicone gel are popular, with statistics showing that about 85% of breast augmentation patients elect silicone implants for their procedures. Most patients believe silicone implants look and feel more like natural breast tissue.

Dr. Collins helps guide your choice of implants based on your aesthetic goals and her expertise. Most of the patients she sees say they want their breasts to look natural and in proportion with their bodies. The visualizer can help you see potential results with different sizes of implants.

Breast Augmentation Before and After Photos

It’s also helpful to find before and after photos of women with measurements and body frames similar to yours when selecting implants. Some patients arrive at their consultations with a set implant size in mind based on how a friend or family member looks. The same size of implant, however, may not produce the desired results for them.

Here are photos featuring some of Dr. Collins’ patients who chose silicone implants:
