How To Pick The Right Size Breast Implant For YOU With The Mentor Volume Sizing System!

Mentor Breast Implant Sizing System available in Pearland TX

When opting to have a breast augmentation or reduction, it can be a challenge to decide which implant size is best for you. While Dr. Kratschmer will of course guide you to making the right decision, many go back on forth on which breast implant size they really want. Here we offer the MENTOR Volume Sizing System for Breast Augmentation!

The Mentor Volume Sizing System, enables you to select the breast implant volume that best meets your desired result. The Sizing System includes a set of 18 uniquely shaped volume sizers (nine per breast) and provide a realistic preview of the breast size. Using the sizing system, along with Dr. Kratschmer you will be able to simulate 24 different volumes, ranging from 150cc-775cc, and will help you as the patient feel more invested in and satisfied with your size decision.

During your complimentary and completely customized consultation, we will help to fit the different breast implant sizers into the bra that you would like to fit into or even a selection of bras that you are interested in, and then put the bra on. Once you have the desired bra on, you can then select one of the major sizes and insert it over your breast (it is curved on the inside) and into the bra.  Once you have the rough size selected you can fine tune your selection by adding some simple add on pieces (also called cutlets) over the main implant sizer until you are satisfied.  And if you start off with two different sized breasts – which most women have – you can select different sizes for each side.

You can really play around with large breast implant sizes even if you aren’t interested in going big and also get a rough idea of how much the breast implants will weigh and how it feels to move with a larger bust. The great thing about this breast implant sizing system is it also works with patients who have already had a breast augmentation previously and may be interested in going to a larger size as the sizers are contoured to work on breasts with implants as well. 

Come in for a complementary breast augmentation consultation today and try out our new breast implant sizing system and start your path to a new you!

January Medicine Cabinet Clean-out!

Which beauty products are in your medicine cabinet?

Between last year's Oil of Olay face cream and the tube of Preparation H your mom once told you was good for puffy eyes, sits a jar of radiant skin waiting to be unveiled.

Why not get a fresh start for the new year? That over-the-counter skincare stuff you’re using, only treats the dead layer of skin on the surface.. Instead, think cosmeceutical!  Our products are formulated to penetrate deep into the dermis layer where collagen, elastin, and pigmentation lay.

Here’s our top 10 anti-aging products…

1. Retinol 
Why: Stimulates collagen production, which targets fine lines and can result in a tighter, younger-looking complexion.
When: At night only!! Recommended  2-3 times per week, but that all depends on your skin type and age.
My Fav: SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5% or 1.0%

2. Daily Antioxidant
Why: Increases collagen synthesis and reduces skin damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C is an essential anti-oxidant which helps create healthy, youthful, glowing skin.
When: Every Morning.. Religiously! And anytime my skin looks dull or ashy.
My Fav: Skinceuticals CE Ferulic

3. AHA or BHA Cleanser
Why: AHA (glycolic/lactic acid) & BHA (salicylic acid) are both great exfoliants and reveal smoother skin!
When: I like to use it at night… Gets my skin squeaky clean and prepped for my night cream.
My Fav: Skin Medica Foaming Cleanser or Skinceuticals Simply Clean

4. Gentle Cleanser
Why: Because your skin needs a break from acids, sulfates, and parabens to heal and for optimal skin health.
When: I use mine in the morning and after peels, lasers, Ulthera or any intense treatment done to my face.
My Fav: Skinceuticals Gentle Cleanser or Skin Medica Sensitive Cleanser.

5. Tinted Sunscreen 
Why: Do I have to explain this one? Surprisingly, so many of us DO NOT use this daily. People.. This is your fountain of youth! A proper sunscreen helps protect your skin from sunburn, early aging, and skin cancer. Need I say more…
When: Every day! (even if it’s cloudy). Don’t forget to reapply every 2 hours if out in the sun. According to American Academy of Dermatology, sunscreen needs to be at least SPF 30, UVA and UVB protectant, and water resistant.
My Fav: Skinceuticals tinted Physical Fusion (best seller!)

6. Self-Tanner
Why: Perfect for a healthy glow without the damaging effects of UV rays.
When: I like to apply mine once a week at night.. I love waking up to a glowing face and body.
My Fav: Jane Iredale Tantasia

7. A Powerful yet Gentle Night Cream
Why: Your skin needs essential peptides, vitamins and nutrients to look its best and prevent free radical damage.
When: Every night.
My Fav: Skinceutical AGE Interrupter 

8. AGE Eye Cream 
Why: Gets rid of fine lines, dark circles and stimulates collagen production
When: Morning & night.
My Fav: Skinceuticals AGE Eye

9. Lip Exfoliant & Moisturizer
Why: Why not? Your lips need a little loving hydration too! My fav also gives an added plumpness too… What girl doesn’t want that?
When: All day…every day!
My Fav: Jane Iredale Sugar & Butter

10. Eyelash Growth Enhancer 
Why: As we get older, lashes become more sparse and lose length. Lash enhancers contain ingredients that promote length and fullness.
When: Apply once a day morning or night… Tip: If redness or irritation occurs, apply only in the morning.
My Fav:  Latisse
