Outcomes associated with cohesive gel breast implants are often characterized by their maintenance of shape and a reduced incidence of rippling or wrinkling compared to traditional saline or older silicone gel implants. These implants, filled with a thicker, more form-stable silicone gel, are designed to mimic the natural feel of breast tissue while minimizing certain complications. A variety of factors influence the final aesthetic appearance, including the patient’s anatomy, the surgeon’s skill, and the implant’s size and placement.
The development of highly cohesive silicone gel implants represents a significant advancement in breast augmentation and reconstruction. These implants offer potential advantages, such as a lower risk of gel leakage and capsular contracture, a common complication characterized by hardening of the scar tissue around the implant. This can lead to improved patient satisfaction and potentially fewer revision surgeries. The longer-term data on these implants continues to be collected and analyzed, providing further insights into their safety and efficacy.
