What are cohesive gel implants?

Cohesive breast implants (aka gummy bear breast implants) have been used worldwide for nearly 15 years and have undergone over 10 years of rigorous testing in the United States. Despite international patient enthusiasm for gummy bear breast implants, the opinions of many European plastic surgeons is that cohesive implants are the best breast implants in the world, and despite of the most favorable data on any breast implant, cohesive breast implants are not yet widely available in the United States. These implants have some unique characteristics that can provide enhanced shape to the breast.   If you are a patient who wants an implant that fits their breast – you may be an ideal candidate for this new cohesive gel gummy bear breast implant.

What should patients know about cohesive gel implants?

In the US these implants are not FDA approved and can only be used under FDA clinical trials. If you are interesting in learning more about these cohesive gel  implants please read more on the plastic surgery channel website.
