Myth #8 Silicone gel-filled breast implants are filled with liquid silicone.

FACT: Mentor's MemoryGel™ silicone gel-filled breast implants are composed of a thick, cohesive gel that is contained within a solid silicone elastomer shell. MemoryGel™ implants feature a unique cohesive silicone gel which is not a liquid or a semi-liquid. Even if a breast implant is sliced open, it holds together uniformly as a cohesive unit.
