On this information page, we explain why doctors at Wellness Kliniek choose Monobloc breast implants.
Worried about breast implant safety? You're not the only one. In the past, the Dutch Healthcare Inspectorate has issued several warnings about breast implants. These warnings were often related to problems in the production process, administrative shortcomings or even fraud. It is understandable to wonder: are my breast implants safe?
Of course, you are entitled to information and want to know why your surgeon chooses a particular breast prosthesis.
At Wellness Kliniek, we understand your concerns and are committed to providing you with the most reliable and safe options. This is why, preferably, we consciously choose silicone breast implants made from a single (mono)block.
Why is this important? Implants made from one (mono)block have less risk of complications such as rupture or leakage, contributing to your safety and peace of mind. The Monobloc implant from French Laboratoires Arion has been on the market for 30 years and has proven reliability.

Which is the best breast implant?
Eight reasons why the surgeons at Wellness Kliniek, preferably, choose Monobloc prostheses:
- Monobloc implants consist of one (mono) block. The prostheses are filled with a solid, highly cohesive, silicone gel. This is a good substitute for liquid silicone.
- The envelope (the outside) of the Monobloc implant has no weld or bonded closure. This is a weak area of most breast implants.
- The Monobloc SoftOne implant is soft and elastic. This makes the implant suitable for the MIBIS (Minimally Invasive Breast Implant Surgery) surgical method. MIBIS guarantees a short procedure, a small scar and quick recovery.
- Monobloc prostheses from Laboratoires Arion are made in France. A European brand has European quality certificates. The controlling body of the French government inspects the factory and the quality of the implant every year.
- Monobloc implants have been on the market for 30 years with no problems.
- Wellness Kliniek has +30 years of experience with MonoBloc SoftOne prostheses.
- The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek have already helped thousands of women with breast augmentation with Monobloc SoftOne implants.
- The manufacturer provides a 10-year warranty on the implant.

Information on Monobloc implants
Monobloc SoftOne breast implants have the following properties.
- Natural feel: The filling is made of a soft, cohesive (solid) silicone gel. The feeling is similar to that of real breast tissue. As a result, the prosthesis feels very natural.
- Minimal risk of leakage: The prosthesis is made of one (mono) block. A solid block of silicone - i.e. no liquid - protects against leaks. The shell (the envelope) provides additional protection. The name says it all: the 'Mono-bloc' breast implant consists of a single unit. The closure is autogenously fused to the rest of the envelope, hence the name Monobloc. In other implants, the closure (seal) is often glued in place, which sometimes causes it to come loose, resulting in a greater risk of leakage.
- Strong and reliable: The elastomer casing is particularly strong. The manufacturing process of Monobloc prostheses guarantees high elasticity. This makes the implant strong, reliable and suitable for the MIBIS insertion method.
Are Monobloc implants safe?
Health authorities worldwide closely monitor the quality of breast implants. For women considering breast augmentation, it is important to be aware of any risks and side effects.
At Wellness Kliniek, we understand the importance of quality and safety for women considering breast augmentation. That is why we are committed to using only the best breast prostheses, which meet the highest safety standards. We are proud to say that in its more than 30-year history, Wellness Kliniek has never had a recall on breast implants. This proves our commitment to providing only the best and safest breast prostheses to our patients.

Frequently asked questions about Arion Monobloc SoftOne implants
Monobloc Arion implants consist of a single block. The prostheses are filled with a firm and solid, highly cohesive silicone. This is a good alternative to liquid silicone. The shell of the Monobloc implant has no seam or closure. This is an advantage, as a seam or closure is a weak point in most implants. Even if the implant were to rupture, there is little chance of silicone leaking.
Monobloc Arion implants are manufactured in France. As a European brand, it holds European quality certificates. The French government’s regulatory body inspects the factory and the quality of the implant annually. Monobloc Arion implants have been on the market for 30 years without any issues. The manufacturer offers a 10-year guarantee.
Arion Monobloc SoftOne implants are ideally suited to insertion using the MIBIS technique. This is a breast augmentation technique involving a minimal incision and a relatively short operation time. As a result, the recovery time is also relatively short. The small incision of approximately two to three centimetres ensures minimal scarring and limits damage to the surrounding breast tissue. MIBIS – Minimally Invasive Breast Implant Surgery – is a less invasive surgical technique aimed at preserving as much of the patient’s own tissue as possible, whilst safeguarding the mammary gland, nerves (nipple sensation) and the pectoral muscle.
As with any breast augmentation procedure, complications can occur with Arion implants, but fortunately they are rare. Capsular contracture may develop, whereby the breast tissue surrounding the implant becomes firmer and may be painful. In addition, you may sometimes experience (temporary) tenderness or pain, asymmetry or a change in shape, displacement, wrinkling, rotation or the ability to feel the implant. The doctors at Wellness Kliniek recommend a check-up at least once every 10 years. It is also recommended that the implants be replaced once every 10 years. If you experience any symptoms, pain or have any concerns before then, please contact your doctor at Wellness Kliniek as soon as possible.
Yes, certainly! If you had your Arion implants fitted by us, you can book a free check-up. Did you have your implants fitted elsewhere? Whether they are Arion Monobloc SoftOne or another brand, you are welcome to come to us for a second opinion. To detect a rupture, an MRI scan at a hospital or a specialist MRI centre is recommended.
Yes, many people come to us for an implant replacement, also known as a prosthesis replacement. In most cases, a prosthesis replacement is possible, provided these implants are suitable for your breasts. The doctor will always discuss with you whether Arion MonoBloc SoftOne or a specific type of Motiva implant (such as the Ergonomix) is a better fit for you. Wellness Kliniek in Belgium is internationally renowned as a centre of expertise for breast augmentation. We welcome many patients who are seeking a second opinion or wish to have their breast implants replaced.
