Inamed 410 Cohesive Gel Implant Study
Dr. Gary Manchester is one of forty surgeons that have been chosen to participate in the FDA study for a new silicone cohesive gel implant. This implant does not fold and is almost impossible to detect.
Dr. Manchester is one of only two physicians in Southern California to perform this procedure. His practice, Manchester Clinic of Plastic Surgery, is located in San Diego. Dr. Manchester explains that the implants are safer and do away with visual defects, such as defining edges and unnatural fluid movements.
Often times people with saline implants have rippling, and the implant can be seen through skin, especially cancer patients who have very thin skin because of surgeries. Normal saline implants ripple after only three to four years. When a woman is undressed you may see a fluid wave. This cohesive silicon does not move or reveal its presence. If it were cut it would not leak and it is very soft.
The Manchester Clinic of Plastic Surgery is currently enrolling patients for the study of the new Style 410 implants.
