Cohesive Gel Anatomic Breast Implants in Gainesville, North Florida
One option that women have for breast augmentation is having a cohesive gel or "gummy bear" breast implant. Different from both traditional saline or silicone breast implants, Cohesive Gel Breast Implants will enter the US market in 2009. They are the most popular implant in the world today. Only a few surgeons in the United States have any experience with this implant. Dr. Richard Sadove of Gainesville North Florida has over a decade of experience with this type of implant outside of the United States.
What is the difference between cohesive gel anatomic and silicone breast implants?
Many patients ask what the difference is between traditional silicone and cohesive gel breast implants. Cohesive gel implants are similar, but the gel is firmer and retains its natural anatomic breast shape, allowing for more shape control and increased longevity of the implant. The firmer consistency of the cohesive gel implants gives way to the nickname "gummy bear" breast implants.
Just like any breast implant, cohesive gel implants are used to create fuller, more proportional breasts for women who feel they are too small, or for women looking to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. One of the benefits of choosing cohesive gel implants over traditional silicone is that they do not have ripples, and thus reduce the risk of visible post-operative wrinkles. Another benefit is that they help avoid unsightly upper breast over fullness, and are of great help in correcting the aging, ptotic, sagging breast. To learn more about what cohesive gel implants or other types of breast implants can do for you, schedule a consultation with Gainesville plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard Sadove at (352) 367-2522.
