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..
