The Advantages and Disadvantages of Breast Augmentation Cohesive Gel

It has been more than 100 years since women have been able to have a breast augmentation procedure performed, but technology has allowed this procedure to become better than ever. While glass balls and ivory were once used to create implants for women, cosmetic surgeons now know that there are far better substances to use in order to design natural-looking, safe implants. Many Orange County women will find that they have several options for implant materials, one of those being the breast augmentation cohesive gel. Newport Beach patients who are considering this type of implant should understand the benefits and the disadvantages of this particular substance.

What are the Advantages of Breast Augmentation Cohesive Gel?

This cohesive gel provides patients with stunningly natural-looking results. Patients should note that the implant maintains its form and shape, and naturally adjusts to the shape of the breast. This is the perfect way to enhance the breast without changing the look of the breast completely. This cohesive gel cannot and will not leak, which increases the safety of this type of implant. The actual shell of the implant can rupture and break, but the gel will not leak out of the shell. This ensures that the shape of the breast can be maintained until the shell is fixed, which many patients find to be advantageous. There is less risk of the shell breaking with this type of implant than with other breast augmentation implant types. Scar tissue and capsular contraction are less of a risk with the cohesive gel implant. The gel implant utilizes a cohesive filler, which does not experience diffusion like other non-cohesive implants. It is a firm filler that is not impacted by the force of the body parts around it.

What are the Disadvantages of Breast Augmentation Cohesive Gel?

While this type of gel provides patients with results that appear more natural, some patients do not like the fact that it does not feel as soft or natural as other implant types. Breast implant cohesive gel is a firm implant, making it an ideal choice for women who are opting for smaller implants. It is not the best choice for large implants. Given the fact that this is a firm implant type, the incision has to be larger. Most incisions range from 4.5 to 5.5 centimeters, which may be larger than some patients want after their breast implant surgery. The most important factor to consider when deciding to have a breast augmentation procedure performed is finding the right cosmetic surgeon. It is essential to work with a surgeon who is qualified and has plenty of experience with this particular cosmetic surgery. Patients should choose a surgeon who is committed to providing them with the most natural-looking results. The surgeon should take into account the individual’s preferences as well as their body shape before creating a surgical plan for the patient. After you have found the best cosmetic surgeon for your breast augmentation, then you can decide which implant type is best for your body.
