    Default Silicone implants being tested

    Yeah! Maybe this means they are going to be available again. They are being tested here in St.Louis.
    Damn, I wish I could be a test subject



    New silicone breast implant tested in St. Louis 05:42 PM CST on Wednesday, December 1, 2004

    News 4's Lisa Manzo

    (KMOV) -- A new silicone breast implant is being tested in St. Louis.



    KMOV




    As part of a clinical trial St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery will give more than 50 women cohesive gel implants.



    Cohesive gel is the most popular type of implant in Europe and Australia, compared to saline implants in the U.S.



    Dr. Herluf G. Lund, Jr. of St. Louis Cosmetic Surgerysays the cohesive gel feels very much like a soft gummy bear or gumdrop. If it tore apart it shouldn't leak.



    It was the more natural feel of silicone and the decade of research from overseas that led Lorrie Roderick to enroll in this clinical trial for cohesive gels.



    Dr. Lund says data from Europe shows cohesive gel implants have similar risks to women as the most popular implants in the U.S., saline implants.



    Dr. Lund says the company that makes these implants could seek FDA approval in the next few months..

    When you get saline implants overfilled,they don't ripple at all.Mine are overfilled by 150cc's.I have had them for over six years now and still no ripples.I love them.

    I wonder which manufactor they are using. I couldn't get the link I had to sign up or something and I'm too lazy.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    My ex toldme about these when I was discussing getting an enlargment and a lift in the next couple years. He told me don't get the saline. I go, "Why?". And he explained that these would look nice and still feel real. I personally can not wait until I get me a set of these.

    For me it's been exactly one year i've had my salines & they aren't as soft as I thought they should've been. They are stiff & don't move, I don't like them at all. Not alot of girls (like me) get lucky with salines.

    I was fortunate to get in on a cohesive silicone study about a year-and-a-half ago, and I LOVE them. Best of both worlds, really--the feel of silicone, yet none of the cleanup issues if the shell should rupture.

    BTW, if anyone's curious, mine are Silimed brand cohesives.

    I got mine about a year and a half ago, also. I have Mentor cohesives. Love em!!!! I'm in a 10 study for the FDA. They can "seek" approval, but it may be years before the FDA approves them.

    hmm my doctor told me a few weeks ago that they are going to be widely available this summer. he told me i could have them now and another girl i work with is getting hers redone with silicone in a few weeks. maybe because we already have implants? i wasnt comfortable with silicone at all untill he told me about the cohesive gel, said it was like a gummy bear if you sliced it in half it didnt go anywhere. he said they were alot lighter then saline.

    I just looked it up and I found an ''implant gallery'' of women with cohesive implants and wow! They look awsome. Most look very natural. Here is the link if anyone want's to check it out.....


    This link is also worth checking out.....about the advantages/disadvantages with cohesive gels.

    Yeah I just alked to a girl at work who has these. I want them ow instead of the saline's. But I guess you have to get them put through an incision under the crease. I would rather have my scars in my armpits though. Ahhhh!!!! i dont know what to do.

    I know this sounds silly but I was watching Dr. 90210 and saw the cohesives put in through the nipple... but they pretty much took the whole thing off (*almost*)! I'm guessing it'd depend on the size you were going to??

    I worked with a girl who had cohesive gels. She had hers done in Mexico and the incision was done through the areola. When PIPs were around I'm quite positive those could be placed via the areola as well. Maybe this Dr. Adams only places via the inframammary crease.

    Current FDA rules allow for silicone implants to be used in the USA for any girl who has had saline implants first and was unhappy with the result. They are also currently allow girls who meet a few select criteria (like tubular breasts or ultra thin skin) to get silicone implants during the first surgery.

    The studies are driving an effort to again have the FDA approve silicone for general first time implant use. Personally I'm not as fond of the gel silicone implants as I was of the liquid silicone implants - primarily because the gel is a lot firmer.

    Thanks for the FDA update Melonie.

    I have never felt the new gel ones but everyone says there are suppose to feel more like a real breast. Has anyone ever touched one to see what the difference was?

    Again purely personal opinion, but ...

    Saline implants filled to rating feel 'sloshy'
    Saline implants filled well beyond rating feel unnaturally firm
    liquid silicone implants feel just like natural 20 something breasts
    silicone gel implants feel like 'teenage tits'
