One of the most important and exciting developments in breast implant technology over the past ten years has been the introduction of the “cohesive” silicone gel implant. This implant uses special engineering of the silicone gel molecules to create a “gummy bear” type effect. This allows for a very natural implant shape that provides an excellent option for women seeking enhancement for the first time or those desiring replacement of older implants. This cohesive gel device is also very effective for women who are needing breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Dr. Lettieri is one of only a few surgeons in the country and the only surgeon in the state of South Carolina that is able to use both the Inamed style 410 silicone gel implant and the Mentor CPG device as well. He has been using the cohesive gel devices now for several years and he and his patients have been very pleased with the advantages of these implants provide.
