Canadian plastic surgeons can now offer women the latest generation of breast implants with clinically proven low complication rates1. Sientra, distributed by Clarion Medical Technologies, is the first new silicone gel breast implant manufacturer to be approved by Health Canada in nearly 20 years. Their High-Strength Cohesive Silicone Gel Breast Implants feature the latest generational gel technology and are backed by clinically proven data, demonstrating an unrivaled safety profile1. The Sientra Platinum20™ Warranty Program is the most comprehensive in the industry. Sientra is the only brand of breast implants in Canada that is available exclusively from board-certified plastic surgeons, which offers increased patient safety.
“We’ve been waiting a long time for a breast implant that improves the patient experience,” says Dr. Julie Khanna, plastic surgeon at ICLS in Oakville, Ontario, and past president of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons. In her 26-year career, Dr. Khanna has performed close to 6,000 breast implant surgeries. “Up until now, there have only been two silicone gel implant manufacturers in Canada, now we finally have another option,” says Dr. Khanna.
Ron Menezes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sientra, said, “Health Canada’s approval of Sientra implants represents another significant milestone for the company as we continue to strategically expand into international markets. We look forward to providing Canadian consumers with the latest generational technology backed by our clinically-proven, unrivaled, ten-year safety data, and our industry-leading Platinum20™ Warranty Program.”
Clinical studies have shown that Sientra breast implants have low complication rates1 and are designed to perform better. With a 99% “Worth it” rating from RealSelf®2, Sientra is the highest rated silicone gel breast implant in the United States, where it has been available since US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2012. The Sientra Platinum20™ Warranty Program offers the longest and most comprehensive warranty available.
Sientra High-Strength Cohesive Silicone Gel Breast Implants set a new aesthetic standard in Canada. The round, smooth implants are designed to offer a fuller look with a natural feel. The highly durable, silicone elastomer shell, engineered to minimize rupture, helps to retain the shape of the implants.
“Breast implants should feel soft and natural but also keep their shape,” says Dr. Khanna. “Sientra has found the right balance. The state-of-the-art bond Sientra has developed between the outside shell and the gel is a big improvement on what’s currently available in Canada. With other implants, there’s no true connection between the outer and inner components. If the implant is traumatized or develops a weak spot, the rupture rate increases. Sientra implants have the lowest rupture rate in the industry.”
