    This is taken from article that I wrote for Makemeheal.com that talks about the history of silicone and saline breast implants as well as the future of breast augmentation, including anatomic shaped highly cohesive gel implants that are yet to be approved by the FDA. As I mention, these implants are widely available in Europe and have high rates of patient satisfaction. These teardrop shaped (often called "gummy bear") implants are textured and contain a highly crosslinked form of silicone to minimize the possibility of migration as well as upper pole collapse and folds in the implant shell.  There are a matrix of different implants to choose from with varying width, height, and projection for the best patient fit, and are called Contour Profile Gel implants if by Mentor or Style 410 implants if made by Allergan Corporation.  One of the only potential drawbacks is that they are a bit firmer, and don't lateralize like normal breast tissue does when you lie down. (see the above  photos of Sarah with a style 410 implant on her chest on the left and a smooth round responsive gel implant on her chest on the right on the couch in our office).
