Cohesive Gel - Breast Implants in Santa Monica, California

Santa Monica Cohesive Implant - Silicone gel already has a certain popularity as a breast implant filler. Although silicone gel implants are pre-filled Santa Monica Breast Enlargement and so may require a larger incision than a saline implant for a comparable enhancement, its consistency gives it a more natural feel than saline. Concerns raised in the early '90s about potential health risks supposedly linked to silicone have effectively been put to rest, and the FDA restored their approval to silicone implants in 2006. Now, the next generation of silicone gel implants are in clinical trials.

These "Gummy Bear" implants are already widely popular in Europe. More form stable than either saline implants or conventional silicone implants, they lend themselves well to a more tapered shape, better resembling a natural breast contour. The nature of the silicone also renders them relatively leak-free.

The natural-feeling (and natural-looking) results these implants promise are only available in the United States through certain surgeons. Santa Monica plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Teitelbaum is one such surgeon, and "the only surgeon in the state of California who was asked to participate in the clinical trials of all three cohesive implant manufacturers."
