Is there much difference between the Cui, responsives and soft touch?

hey girls, just wanted to know what type of implants you have all had? im really confused as i was never told about the different types there was available at my consultation and only from reading posts on the forum realised there are 3 different types. Im having the standard cui as i was not offered the others but wanted to know if there is much difference in the way they look? Ive read that some surgeons only prefer using cui implants, is there a reason to this? Im after a really natural, soft to touch but still firm look and think maybe the responsives are better? Do the sizes with cui and responsives measure the same as i was after either a 340 or 380cc. I only have 12 days to go so i have to ring my PC asap to have them ordered in time if i do decide to change xx

for the small difference that there is its deffo not worth paying 300-400£ .. when i went into the office i demanded to see and feel ALL the implants, the cui are definately the softest of the lot, i was preapered to pay the extra but then realised the lifetime guarantee is bollocks because all implants have to be replaced after a certain amount of years! cui all the way even my pc told me cui are the best choice xx

I think it’s probably a little unfair to say the extra money isn’t worth upgrading I understand why girls choose not to have natrelle however I personally believe if your putting a foreign material into your body then making sure you have the absolutely best available to you is the best option, your health is the most important thing before what ur boobs look like im afraid the recent pip scandal proves this. The natrelle is the premium implant that is FDA approved the cui is not, natrelle reduces the risk of capsular contraction. And the fact that natrelle are willing to guarantee their implants for life and cui arr not regardless of whether u will have to have a re op or not speaks volumes! Like I said I understand why girls don’t pay the extra, but actually for the feel your after mmxx sounds more like a soft touch natrelle. Xx

what did you have lorelei as i love the way yours look? I heard the soft touch are very firm and i want them softer looking and not soo high so thought the responsives would be better for what im after xx

Well I have 1 of each, a ‘soft touch’ and a ‘responsive’ due to a major cock up by MYA (I asked for soft touch!!)

My ‘soft touch’ boob feels soft and squidy yet still firm.

I don’t like the feel of my ‘responsive’ it is very soft and I can feel rippling.

This is just my experience though. Lots of girls on here have the ‘responsives’ and love them and look great.

At the time when I queried ‘soft touch’ and ‘responsive’ with my pc she told me her preference was ‘soft touch’

Hope that helps x

Thank u and I had natrelle soft touch hunni, and im only 3weeks po and mine are squishy already and certainly not firm! Are u going over or under the muscle?? I wanted the responsive too as there is.no doubt they are the most natural feeling, but as I had overs I would have had a big risk if rippling so just went for the next best thing. And I really don’t like disputing what people say as everyone has different opinions, but I did hold a cui in one hand and a soft touch in the other, and the soft touch felt more like natural breast tissue xx

there is nothing wrong with the cui, i personally think the natrelle felt like 2 hard rocks and thats why i didnt want them put in my body! not being funny but most the problems i see on this forum u see the girls have had the natrelle and the problems, its personal choice and i had the extra money to have the natrelle and still didnt want them. also they are not fda approved because they have never been put forward to it, not that theres anything wrong with it. also yes the natrelle reduces capsular contraction but when the stats are only 1% chance then whats natrelle saying then?! if there was anything wrong with allergan cui then mya wouldnt be using them.

There both of quality though there made by the same company allergen and even have the same cohesive filling inside all that’s different is the outershells and natrelles r slightly mire filled than cui. It dies say lifetime guarantee but if u look on transforms site it says lifetime guarantee n then at small writing at the side (lifetime of implant 10years) if they were gonna be bad they wudnt use them after the whole pip scandal. I have cui and they feel just like natural boob tissue to me lol xx

@lorlei well said hun 100% agree reason im having natrelle as mr chantarasak would go bigger if i upgraded n i have very thin skin he said these will lower the risk of rippling which i have a high chance of having even with these i was more then happy 2 pay the extra £461xx

cui are alot softer and squidgier than the natrelle range!! i held all of them in my consultation and even my pc said she much prefers cui! and as for capsular contraction there is only 1% chance of that throughout the whole range anyway !! and as for rippling, if ur guna get it ur guna get it regardless of the implant uv had! x

I had resaponsives.

Personal choice as i wanted an implant that was FDA approved and after discussion with my surgeon for the results i wanted he agreed this was the best for me.

I think anyone looking into implants should consider if they want an FDA implant, if the implant is recommended for the end result you want to achieve and are you prepared to pay the extra. x

i think its worth it, its only an extra £400 and when ur paying out that much money u may as well for the piece of mind u have the best…my srgeon said if he was gona operate on a family member he old use the allergan natrelle range.. xx

I’ve upgraded due to my surgeon suggesting the natrelle rang if I wanted to go bigger x

saying that tho i hate the feeling of my soft touches lol they r very hard n too firm..but i think thts more to do with having them under muscle x

Im not disputing which implant type is softer/firmer i just think the natrelles felt more like my own breast tissue… maybe everyones is different but seen as our natural breasts are not filled with gel i dont think u should make ur decision on what feels the softest/squidgiest. Like 2cuks said its a personal choice about what u want to put in to ur body, and rippling risk is increased with overs than unders, and is reduced if u upgrade to natrelle as they have a higher fill % that is fact. Cuis look and feel great – Natrelle look and feel great, what u want in your body is up to you. And the facts are written in black and white xx

no wonder we all get so bloody confused when the surgeons cant even tell us the right thing! Bet there is loads of ladies who dont really know what they have! Well mine are defo going to be low…checked with the CUI catalogue! Roll on the 18th!

oops..wrong post….sorry! x

youve got to remember they are all part of the allergan range made by the same company, yes the natrelle ARE fDA approved in America but the only reason why the standard cui havnt been approved yet…. is because they havnt even put them up for fda approval!!! if they did that then they wudnt have a standard range wud they because that would mean they are all premium implants!! yeah they changed the colour of them and gave them a different texture shell but Allegan even say in their catalogue that you can expect the same % of rupture and complication rate on all their ranges ! save the extra 300-400 for when you need them replacing in 10-15 yrs LOL

Thanks for the advice girls. Im having unders with mario. I did tell him at the consultation what i wanted appearance wise and he didnt mention about me going with the other implants so i assume he knows whats best for my shape and size i am currently. I will ring my pc to see what she says but judging by the photos, they all look very natural, so maybe just the feel and firmness slightly different xx

Yea do what’s best for you hunni everyone is so different! And they do all look great xx

they are both extremely high quality implants, the difference is the natrelle ones have 5 more layers and are filled up to an optimum amount which helps to stop rippling and also the extra layers help to stop the risk of capsular contracture.

the percentage of rupture and CC are quite low anyway but as I am a big worrier of any future problems I went for the natrelle range for the added piece of mind.

It’s personal preference both are good implants!! xxx

emilylouise i thought the natrelle range only had one more layer than CUI not 5 more? thats what my pc told me…is this wrong? xx

Natrelles do only have 1 more layer that’s what I’ve read x

Yeh and the fact that cui are 10yrs guarantee whereas natrelle are lifetime guarantee…. People forget that lifetime guarantee actually only means 10yrs LOL what a con x

i heard the hospistal grioup do life time gaurantee x

http://www.natrelle.co.uk/breast-enhancement/Pages/warranty.aspx

the natrelle ones have 6 layers, got my pack in front of me, and i went through the hospital group so they cover the cost of surgery and implant if it ruptures for life not just ten years, not sure what MYA offer, think it’s the implants + £700 towards surgery.

this may help it outlines the differences:

Yes the natrelles have 6 layers but cui have 5 so its only 1 more layer

U get lifetime gUarentee on the implant cost, so never pay for another implant, plus 700 towards cost of surgery within 10years with the natrelle x

I will never understand why girls worry about paying an extra £461 to upgrade when they are already spending over £4000 anyway, it’s only about £239.50 each boob!!!!! Also why would you put something that is not FDA approved in you after everything that’s happened with the PIPs which were also not FDA approved??? I have the responsive high profiles and have been told these are actually softer than the soft touch implants and also told by a surgeon that they are the best implants on the market at the moment!! I was also told that responsives are lifetime garanteed, which means basically until I die, unlike the CUI 10yr max. I found the CUI’s to look cheap and feel nasty. xx

I wasn’t told the CUI’s have 5 layers, either way the difference is the natrelle has an extra layer for added resitance to CC and rupture and the fill is a little more to reduce rippling, + the guarantee.

You just need to weigh up what you are looking for and decide what the best option is for you, both are good as if they weren’t they wouldn’t use the CUI’s, but for me as I worry about future complications I went for the natrelles for the peace of mind x

Lol vixe thats strange because i thought the responsive felt nasty against the cui’s ! Personal preference hey!

Rregardless of the specific facts the overal fact is natrelle is the safer implant, it’s the only one FDA approved. That’s all I had to be told to know.the extra.money.was worth it, before I even saw or touched the implants I was sold. But I appreciate why girls don’t pay extra with it, there is no point getting bitchy and horrible towards people who choose different to your own everyones personal preferences are different, everyone ends up with great.boobs so who cares there’s no need for anyone to get nasty about it xx

I think feeling an implant in your hand and feeling the implant inside you are two different things -exactly like when u try the implant on in your sports bra its totally different to the finished result.

I had responsives and totally love em.. soft natural and can fake em up if required.

Well Ive upgraded to natrelle because my surgeon recommended it but I paid less than £400, I would def haggle x

Each to ther own but my cui’s defo do not feel nasty at all they feel much better than my old boobs did. No need for things yo.get so much out of hand at the end of the day ppl who have cui’s r gonna suggest them same as ppl who have natrelles r gonna say have them. U can only decide what implants u want. I am however 100% Happy tht I didn’t pay 461 extra cause I’m already planning to get a re op by next yr so wasn’t worth it to me n I knew id want bigger when the surgeon told me Wot size I cud have x

How do u kno the cui isnt as safe? Like i said, cui hasnt been approved In america because allergan havnt put it up for approval because then they wud lose out on all the extra money they make on there ‘premium’ range lol if all their implants were ‘premium!’

so am I now reading that natrelle is an Allergan conspiracy to gain more money haha??

Regardless let’s all be pleased we got a set of great boobs

I have opted for the natrelle soft touch for a few reasons.

1. They feel nice (to me!)

2. They have extra layers for protection

3. They reduce risk of rippling with overs

4. FDA approval

However, this is not to say CUI’s are less safe/nice feel/quality etc, it’s personal preference and peace of mind, if I am putting a foreign object into my body I waver to be sure I have opted for the best I think there is.

We will all have/already have amazing new boobies which surely is the main thing?! It’s like boob war on here haha

My BA in 6 days… yay! Good luck everyone else whose day is drawing closer!! Xxx

Also to add for thought… @Lorelei has amazing boobs with soft touch natrelles

And @becki90 has equally amazing boobs with CUI’s

So really it is down to personal preference and suitability!!

Good luck all xx

im not boob waring I love beckie90s boobies too and she knows it and thank u Lucie22 I just don’t like other people being bitchy about peoples choices it’s not on! but yea both results look rather fabulous anyway so whatever people choose they will look great! X

That comment was not aimed at anyone in particular and was meant more tongue in cheek!

You all look fab

5 days to go now!! Xx

Basically lorelei yes, its simple sales really, theyve stuck an extra layer on so they can charge abit more n mention about about rippling and capsular contraction when we all know and can see for ourselves that in the allergan catalogues it says there is only 1% risk of any of those happening throughout there whole range ! So in 15 years time when u have them replaced, they will only give u the implant free of charge IF its ruptured. Cui offer 10years. So wheres the difference????!!

Girls – chill out! Does it really matter? Everyone has made their choices and as stated before its personal choice wot implants ppl choose to go for.

It really pees me off when this turns into a bitchfest….

We are all here to support each other…
