I hesitate between those two types of implants for my breast augmentation. I think highly cohesive ones tend to be firmer. But are they also stronger ? Or is the solidity of cohesive and highly cohesive implants equivalent ?

Answer: Cohesive breast implants Very important questions. The cohesivity describes the amount of crosslinking of the silicone in the implants. The more cohesive the implant, the firmer and also the less it will change with gravity. Essentially what this means is that it will have greater upper breast roundness. This ultimately makes it look a bit more towards the artificial side. Cohesive implants can also be helpful in women with thin breast tissue because there is a lower risk of wrinkling at the edges of the implants. I hope this helps your decision.

Answer: What is the difference between cohesive implants and highly cohesive implants : texture, solidity ? The higher the cohesiveness of the implant means the implant will be a bit firmer (though still soft). The higher cohesive implants tend to maintain their shape a bit better than the lower cohesive options. At consultation, your surgeon should be able to provide you with examples of each to feel for yourself. Often, the high cohesive implants are a bit more expensive. The shells (or outside coating) of the implants are the same so they provide the same strength. As always, be sure to research your surgeon before going under the knife.
