Natrelle Breast Implants

Natrelle can look like a very big menu when you first start researching it. There are different gels, several profiles, and model codes that seem almost identical.

Once you separate those choices, the system becomes much easier to follow.

This guide focuses on the questions that help a US augmentation patient understand a proposed Natrelle plan.

Start with INSPIRA

INSPIRA is the name you'll often encounter in current Natrelle silicone gel discussions.

The range separates gel choice from profile. That means two devices can share a profile and dimensions while differing in gel, or share a gel while differing in shape and volume.

This can be helpful when a surgeon wants to compare one design feature at a time.

Ask for the complete style name and model code, rather than recording only “Natrelle gummy.” The informal gummy label doesn't identify one implant.

The three gel names

Natrelle's planning materials describe Responsive, SoftTouch, and Cohesive gel options.

These names distinguish gels by how they move and hold their shape. They don't describe cup sizes or establish which device is best for you.

Your surgeon can explain which property is relevant to your tissue and preferences. If you are focused on feel, ask to compare samples. If you are focused on fullness, ask how the gel fits into the whole plan.

Natrelle's planning guide explains the gel and profile system.

The profile names

INSPIRA uses Low, Low Plus, Moderate, Full, and Extra-Full categories.

The names organize the relationship between base width and projection within the range. They aren't identical to every other manufacturer's Moderate Plus or High categories.

A broader, less projecting device and a narrower, more projecting one can have similar volumes. Conversely, comparing profiles at similar widths can involve a change in volume.

The INSPIRA gel and profile guide explains both comparisons.

Sizing is about the actual device

A Natrelle size is most useful when attached to a style code, width, and projection.

For example, “Full profile” is more specific than “gummy,” but the exact model still matters. A 365cc Full option isn't the same device as a nearby volume in another profile.

Ask your surgeon to show how the proposed width relates to your examination, then discuss projection and volume.

You can use the Natrelle sizing guide to follow the chart while your surgeon interprets which options suit you.

What Natrelle results can look like

The available design choices can be part of plans for different degrees of fullness and projection.

The brand name alone doesn't determine the result. Existing tissue, chest dimensions, implant size, placement, a possible lift, and healing all contribute.

When saving photos, note what appeals to you. “I like the rounder upper fullness” and “I like the overall proportions in clothes” are different preferences.

Keep the before photo and procedure details attached. A lifted breast shape may involve a lift as well as an implant.

Understand the brand history without mixing products

Natrelle has included different products over time. Some historical textured BIOCELL devices were recalled.

That history should be described accurately, with the affected product identified. It doesn't mean every Natrelle device is the recalled product.

If you are considering new surgery, ask for the exact currently offered device. If you already have implants, use your device card and surgery date to identify the relevant information.

The surface guide explains the recall context and why precise names matter.

US warranty basics

Natrelle's ConfidencePlus materials distinguish gel and saline coverage.

The US brochure reviewed for this draft describes automatic gel enrollment, lifetime replacement for qualifying rupture, and up to $3,500 toward qualifying out-of-pocket rupture costs within ten years. Other event-specific benefits have separate requirements and time limits.

The brochure also lists size or aesthetic dissatisfaction among exclusions. Natrelle US warranty brochure.

Ask for the terms applicable to your surgery date and device. A replacement implant is different from having the full cost of another operation paid.

For saline, ask separately about included coverage and any optional upgrade deadline. Don't assume gel terms apply to every product.

Follow-up and records

For silicone implants, discuss integrity imaging and routine breast health care as separate topics.

Keep the device card, model identifiers, surgery details, and warranty documents. If the two sides receive different devices, the record should identify each side clearly.

Your surgeon should also review eligibility, risks, alternatives, and potential future procedures with you before surgery.

Questions that make the choices clearer

• Which INSPIRA gel and profile are you recommending?

• What are its exact volume, width, and projection?

• Which feature of the device matters most in my case?

• Would another gel change the plan or mainly the device's behavior?

• How much of the result I like depends on a lift or placement?

• What follow-up and warranty terms apply?

Once the naming system makes sense, Natrelle becomes a set of understandable choices. You can focus on the specific combination that fits your goals and the surgeon's assessment of your tissue.
