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 Gel Implants Thank you for your question! Allergan Natrelle implants have 3 options for silicone gel each of them ranging in level of cohesivity. These gels are known as: Responsive (least firm), Soft Touch (middle), and Cohesive (most firm). The type of gel that you select is dependent on budget as well as desired outcomes. The cohesive gel will maintain its shape the most against gravity and is ideal for someone who does not have much breast tissue. In my practice, Soft Touch implants are the most popular because they have a natural feel and look and still maintain shape. I would make sure you discuss all options with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and make sure it is one that specializes in breast procedures. Best of luck to you!

Answer: What is the difference between cohesive implants and highly cohesive implants : texture, solidity ? Gummy Bears are highly cohesive or form stable and typically require a deeper incision. The silicone in Gummy Bear implants have a much high cohesiveness than cohesive gel implants meaning they have a lower likelihood of toxicity. Some say the feel of the Gummy Bear is like jello; other silicone implants, like honey. You can feel them in your PS's office and determine which is best for you.

Answer: What is the difference between cohesive implants and highly cohesive implants : texture, solidity ? Hi there, thank you for your question. The gel structure of them are different basically. Cohesive is more soft while high cohesive has more durable form.

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: Implants The highly cohesive implants are firmer feeling and not my preference for breast augmentations. The strength of the implant is related to the bag, which is the same between the two types of implants. I only use the smooth round implants which have fewer long term problems of rotation issues and late seromas if the textured bag is pulled away from your tissue.
