Saline breast implants contain an outer shell of silicone within which the saline solution is placed. The new and improved silicone gel implants have the same outer silicone shell within which is a new cohesive silicone gel. Unlike the old silicone implants, which were more like a liquid, the new cohesive gel implants act more like a solid than a liquid holding together uniformly while still retaining the natural give and feel of natural breast tissue. This gelatin - like cohesive silicone gel is much less likely to leak, rupture or tear as compared to the older traditional silicone implants and, the implant does not leak even when cut in half:
Most plastic surgeons and patients agree that the new cohesive silicone gel implants have a more natural feel and are less likely to produce rippling than saline breast implants. The cohesive gel implant, however will require a slightly larger incision to allow placement.
