Ok...I am getting silicone style 15 533's cc. Got that. They gave me a booklet (silicone implant handbook so to speak). I don't know...it says allergan...natrelle on the front. So is this memory gel or is it all memory gel these days? I know there are only two companies that are allowed to make the implants now but what are they then and who is making mine? Is it allergan....if so what is mentor and what is mghan or something like that?

It's all cohesive gel. Natrelle is Allergan's brand, Memory Gel is trademarked to Mentor. Natrelle is close to the softer Memory Gel by description. McGhan is an implant brand, which was bought by Inamed which was bought by Allergan. So Allergan, Inamed and McGhan are the same product. Mentor is different. It's just different brand names, nothing to worry about, both are excellent products!
