What are the benefits of selecting Allergan's Natrelle Inspira Cohesive SCX over their SoftTouch SSX?

The short answer is the feel.  In my office I have the patient feel the different type of implants. I use both these implants on a regular basis.  I feel the Cohesive implant is always best in a woman who has lost firmness from pregnancy, breast feeding or weight fluctuations.  I have also used this implant in nulliparous women with excellent results.  You have to weigh the cost benefits.  I prefer the "gummy bear" implants soft or cohesive. 

Thanks for your question about Allergan Inspira breast implants.  The new line of Inspira breast implants are really great options for patients and there is a choice which can be made in terms of both profiles and the thickness or cohesivity of the gel.  In my practice I refer to this difference as gummy, gummier, and gummiest.  In terms of comparing the gummier soft touch to the gummiest cohesive gels I tell patients that the cohesives will feel a little bit more firm, but have a more pronounced roundness to the upper pole.  In my practice I have found that some patients find the cohesive line to be a little too firm and that many patients are very satisfied with the look and feel of the soft touch implant which delivers great roundness, upper pole projection, and a soft feel.  Visit with your board certified plastic surgeon to discuss these options and decide what may suit you the best.Best Wishes

Thank you for your question.  I tell my patients all of the Inspira line are gummy gel implants, but the level of cohesiveness is different.  Gummy, gummier, gummiest.  Or softest, medium, and the firmest.  Personally I think the highly cohesive  (SC series) are a little to firm for aesthetic surgery and are better suited in reconstructive surgery.   The soft touch works well for patients who have loss of upper pole volume, some degree of ptosis and wish to achieve upper pole fullness with still a soft breast.  Good luck.
