Why Implant Selection Matters

Breast implants vary in more ways than most patients realize. Implant size is an important factor when considering breast augmentation, but you should also select the right combination of shape, feel, and behavior to support your goals. The right implant influences not only how your results look, but how they feel and move over time.

Dr. Curtsinger offers one of the most comprehensive selections available, allowing for precise customization across:

  • Gel type and cohesiveness (“gumminess”)
  • Shape and profile
  • Softness and structure
  • Upper fullness vs. natural slope
  • Movement and responsiveness

This level of choice ensures that your outcome is tailored not just to how you want to look, but how you want to feel in your body—whether you’re getting a standalone augmentation or combining implants with a breast lift

Our Breast Implant Options

Motiva®

Motiva Logo

Approved by the FDA in 2024, Motiva breast implants represent one of the most significant advances in breast augmentation in many years. As the aesthetic of breast augmentation shifts toward a subtler, more natural silhouette, a trend often referred to as “ballerina breast augmentation” or “yoga boobs,” Motiva implants have become increasingly popular. Dr. Curtsinger is currently the only board-certified surgeon in the Savannah, GA, and Bluffton, SC, areas who offers Motiva implants.

The Motiva SmoothSilk® Ergonomix implants adapt to your body’s movement, creating a natural, teardrop-like shape when upright and a fuller contour when lying down. SmoothSilk® Round implants provide consistent fullness and enhanced upper pole volume, offering a more lifted, defined look while maintaining a soft, natural feel.

Rather than holding a fixed shape, certain Motiva options are engineered to respond to your body’s position, creating a more natural transition between standing, sitting, and lying down.

The SmoothSilk Ergonomix implant is ideal if you want results that feel especially natural. It adapts to gravity, appearing round when you’re lying down and developing a gentle slope when you’re upright. This closely mimics the behavior of natural breast tissue. If you prefer a bit more visible fullness, the SmoothSilk Round implant maintains its shape regardless of position, offering a softly enhanced, rounder contour with more upper-pole fullness.

MENTOR®

Mentor Logo

MENTOR implants have long been a trusted choice, offering consistent performance and a range of options that allow for customization. Whether you’re looking for a classic silicone feel or the flexibility of saline, Mentor provides solutions that can be tailored to your preferences.

The MemoryGel® implant delivers a soft, natural feel with a traditional round shape, available in multiple profiles (moderate classic, moderate plus, high profile, and ultra-high) to help fine-tune projection. For patients who want a bit more structure, MemoryGel® BOOST™ offers increased form stability. The cohesive gel is paired with an innovative shell design that provides stability for upper pole volume (cleavage) and shape retention, while maintaining a soft, natural feel. Mentor also offers saline implants, which are filled during surgery and allow for slight adjustments in volume, creating a uniform, fuller look with added flexibility in sizing.

Natrelle®

Natrelle Inspira cohesive

Natrelle implants are known for their versatility, particularly when it comes to gel cohesiveness and overall feel. This allows Dr. Curtsinger to refine your results with a high level of precision, whether your goal is softer and more subtle or more structured and defined.

Within the Natrelle INSPIRA® collection, the popular Responsive option offers a balance between softness and support, making it a flexible choice across a wide range of aesthetic goals. The SoftTouch version is designed for patients who prioritize a softer feel, while still achieving a smooth, round contour. For those who want more structure and shape retention, the Cohesive implant provides the highest level of firmness within the Natrelle line. Natrelle also offers saline implants for patients who prefer that approach, with a range of sizes and profiles to support different looks.
