MemoryGel™ Silicone Breast Implant - a cohseive (sometimes referred to as a "gummy bear") implant

FACT: The current “third generation” of MemoryGel silicone breast implants, which have been in use for more than a decade, are cohesive. MemoryGel implants feature a soft, cohesive, gelatin-like substance that acts as a solid rather than a liquid.

Other shaped products will be reviewed by the FDA in the future, but these products will have a firmer feel.
