What is the difference (if any) between Natrelle Soft Touch, Responsive and Cohesive implants?

Hi,
Natrelle has three different implant types, Responsive, Soft Touch, and Cohesive. There is more crosslinking in the gel in the cohesive as opposed to the other two. The more cohesive the gel the firmer the implant and more upper pole fullness in that particular gel. We often say "more gel in the shell" to help patients visualize this better. All three styles are considered "gummy bear". Often, surgeon preference dictates what she or he will use in a patient. Some surgery offices will have different samples of these three gel styles to allow you to feel the difference in each. Make sure all of your questions are fully addressed by your surgeon prior to surgery. Best wishes,

The difference between responsive, soft touch and cohesive implants is the thickness of the gel (or viscosity). This translates to 'firmness' of feel. The responsive will feel the least firm of the three and the cohesive will feel the most firm. This will also translate to risk of rippling. The least viscous of the three, the responsive type, will have a slighty higher risk of visible rippling than the other two types.
