Cohesive Gel Implants - Cost, Feel, Incision, And Rotation

Cohesive Gel Implants - Cost, Feel, Incision, And Rotation

By:


Women all over the world are becoming more and more interested in the latest form of breast implants called "cohesive gel implants". Are they more expensive than silicone and saline implants? What do they feel like? How large of an incision is required for cohesive gel implants? Is there is a risk of rotation? Is it easy to select the proper cohesive implant shape and size for my body type? These are great questions and this article will attempt to answer them.

Selecting the proper cohesive implant size is just as important as selecting the proper size of saline or silicone gel implant. What is your natural body style like? Can your existing chest structure support the weight and volume of extremely large breasts? Or is your chest smaller in chest area and weaker when it comes to supportive tissue?

The ideal goal of breast augmentation is to enhance what you already have, not distort it. While the decision is ultimately the patient's, it is advisable that any patient listen to the concerns and recommendations of her surgeon.

Cohesive gel implants will not lose shape due to gravity; what you select for an implant will most likely maintain its shape throughout the implants lifespan. This needs to be carefully considered prior to selecting your chosen implant size and style.

How does a cohesive implant feel within the hand? These types of implants are generally more firm than the traditional silicone gel implant. The firmness of your implants will also relate to how much breast tissue you currently have relative to the size of the implant. If you choose implants that are much larger than your current breast tissue, the implants may feel more firm as opposed to a woman who chooses implants that complement her existing amount of breast tissue.

How does cost differ from cohesive gel implants compared to silicone and saline implants? Cohesive gel implants are significantly more expensive than saline implants, and a little bit more expensive than silicone gel implants. If cost is an issue, women should know that they will be reimbursed a portion of the cost of the implants over their ten year study as part of the research conducted by the FDA.

Will I have a larger scar than traditional silicone gel implants? Silicone gel implants required the larger incision between Saline implants since Silicone implants are pre-filled and Saline implants are filled only after insertion. Since cohesive implants cannot be squeezed through a small incision (remember they are not liquid; they are a solid form), the incision required for cohesive gel implants is generally larger than saline and even silicone implants require. Larger incision size is definitely one of the disadvantages of cohesive gel implants.

Since cohesive gel implants only come in anatomical shapes (they are more full near the bottom than at the top), even a minimal amount of rotation can visibly affect the appearance of the breast. Surgery is the only way to correct a rotated cohesive breast implant, and it is recommended that a round implant be used to replace it.
