What is a cohesive gel breast implant?
Cohesive gel refers to the highly viscous nature of the silicone gel that is used in current breast implant. The gel is thick and stays together which inhibits migration of the gel even if a rupture occurs. This is a great improvement over old implants with more liquid silicone which good migrate outside the scar capsule if rupture occurred. This photos exhibits how the gel stays together and resists migration making surgical removal easier in the case of rupture.
