Cohesive Gel

Cohesive Gel, the most popular breast implants
used throughout the world, was approved by the FDA in 2006.

postoperative management being superior
over other existing implants.

with damage due to multiple layers surrounding
the implants and holds its original shape.
04. Slight difference in volume cannot be adjusted.
05. Transabdominal incision cannot be used for cohesive gel implants.

Size of Implants

크기에 따른 분류 사진

Breast implants have various sizes from small(50-100cc) to large(700-800cc).
The size of implants can be determined by a few factors, such as width
of the chest, height, weight, the current size, and individual preference.
However, 200-300cc implants are chosen among Korean women in general.
