What are the differences between the Memory Gel and CPG Cohesive gel implants? Is it true that the CPG is thicker and stronger and will retain shape better and makes for a firmer implant than the FDA approved Memory Gel? Thank you.

Answer: Cohesive gel versus memory gel Cohesive gel implants are the "Gummy" implants that are firmer. They need a larger incision for palcement and if they rupture will not ooze. The memory gel implants are the standard gel implants that will feel more natural.

Answer: Cohesive breast implants The Memory Gel is a cohesive implant, but the CPG is firmer and more cohesive. If you were to cut this implant, it would hold its gel, in the same way that a cut gummy bear holds its gummy (hence the term "gummy bear implants"). These do feel firmer than regular silicone implants. The shape is a tear-drop, which is very useful for breast reconstruction after cancer, and in other situations where the patient needs more fill in the upper part of her breast. These implants are not yet available in the US for general use, so if you are very interested in getting them, you will need to find a surgeon in your area who is enrolled in the clinical trials. Good luck, /nsn.
