    Which one is more popular and why, what is the difference between the 2?
    I have tried looking online but just comes up with so much info and all applies to US. Probably the same info but just want to be sure!

    CUI have 5 protective layers, Natrelles have 6 and they also have lifetime guarantee whereas CUI have 10 years. My PC and surgeon suggested CUI for me as there is not a lot of difference and I will probably have children within the next 10 years so will need them replaced anyway x

    Ah I see, thank you! Did he say if you can breast feed okay when you’ve had the implants?! My next question, 🙂 x

    For the sake of a couple £s I went for natrelle as they feel a lot more softer and smooth and are quite high in shape and are FDA approved where CUI are not and they don’t use them n the USA I’m not saying cui are not good it’s just that Natrelle are better quality and since I payed 6,500 for my op I wasn’t taking any chances to save a few £s but each to there own x

    FDA is an American thing and CUI have been EU approved in the uk etc, I have CUI and they are absoutley fine! My surgeon recommended CUI’s as they have been around a lot longer then other implants and he has been using them for over 20 years! The only difference is that naturelles have a textured outer coating which is meant to help prevent rippling etc but some girls get rippling no matter what implants you have! The best person to ask is your surgeon who is the professional and not to listen to all that is said on this site! The forum is good for some things and bad for others! and if you go under the muscle you can still breast feed chick xxx

    I think your surgeon will suggest what he thinks wil be best based on your circumstances/implant size etc – yes you can breast feed xxx

    My surgeon said CUIvand I doubt they would recommend them if they weren’t of very good standard. I trusted my surgeon and went with CUI’s xxx

    I have heard Natrelle being more popular but CUi must be just as good otherwise they wouldn’t offer them as deffo agree with always trusting your surgeon only he knows what’s best for you. Just want to meet him now and find out!! 🙂 xx

    Im wanting to have the naturelle.

    How much more are they?

    I posted this on anther thread earlier but I think it will help here 🙂 There really is very little difference hun, the main difference would be that the Naturelle Soft Touch implant have the least chance of ripples as they have 100% fill of silicon in the shell, Naturelle Responsive and the CUI have 95% fill. The naturelle range have a thicker shell with more layers so it makes them more durable/less chance of rupture and leaks. In terms of warranty, I wouldn’t worry too much, the CUI has 10years and the Naturelle has liftetime BUT as implants are not a liftetime device they will likely need changing sometime between 10-15 years anyway, your warranty covers your implant ONLY so any ops you have you will get the implant free but still need to pay surgical costs ect, it takes about 500 off the cost of re ops so it’s 500 either way really! Also, just a note on CUI, they don’t use CUI in the U.S as most of their silicon implants use a smooth shell, they use a lot of Naturelle style 45 and Mentor implants, they’re not *banned* per say. it’s also worth pointing out that despite what most believe the US are VERY behind in terms of cosmetic surgery! They still use saline (water bags) implants, smooth implants (high risk of CC) and massage techniques (damaging to implants) where as in the UK saline, smooth and massage haven’t been used for years due to the high risk involved, I would always advise girls to go for Naturelle Soft Touch as they are the best implant in the market in terms of rupture and ripple rates but so long as your Dr is happy to use CUI it won’t cause you any issues. Hope this helps xx
