Both of the breast implants (highly cohesive gel with more "fill" per shell) you mentioned are excellent products when it comes to helping prevent breast implant rippling. However, there are many other "factors" that come into play; these factors are patient specific (patient body type, past surgical history, goals...) and surgeon specific (good judgment, precision of pocket dissection...).Personally, I think that careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication goals are the two most important "factors" when it comes to achieving the desired outcome with breast augmentation surgery. The specific breast implant manufacturer and even type of breast implant are far less important factors, in my opinion.My best advice: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully, as well. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve your goals. Best wishes.
Hi and thanks for your question. Implant manufacturers today have a variety of silicone implants that vary in projection,texture and firmness. The firmness is a factor called cohesively and is graded by degree of hardness. This is largely determined by “senistoke” a rating of silicone liquidity. The companies have capitalized on this and the patients awareness of cohesivity and its relationship to visible “ripples”. While it is true that the more firm or cohesive the implant the less likelihood of ripple,there are other factors to consider when choosing implants. The higher the firmness the more upper pile and round the breast will appear, this may be good for you and others not. The more firm the breast implant the more firm you’re breast , sometimes this may be too much. The more firm the implant the Moreno it generally costs. Soft touch for example cost more than responsive and less than cohesive in the Allergan example. Also remember that the native tissue thickness a and the placement of the implant below or above the muscle and the hen technique of the surgeon are variables in appearance of ripples. The firmest of the Implants is Allergan cohesive, not soft touch. Use your judgement if the extra cost and firmness is really worth it. In my opinion the extra cost is often not worth the slight decrease risk. Discuss all the options with your surgeon. Good Luck hope that helps.
