Breast implants have come a long way, and on this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold we're breaking it all down. From saline implants to today's 6th generation cohesive gel implants, the options available now are more versatile than ever. Each type comes with unique advantages, and the right choice depends on your body, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.

Saline implants offered safety and flexibility with volume adjustments, but also came with firmness and rippling. Fifth generation gummy bear implants introduced highly cohesive gel for softness and shape, reducing rippling and improving results. Now, the sixth generation implants build on this progress with 100% fill, progressive gels, and advanced shell technology, giving patients more natural results and surgeons greater control.

At the end of the day, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Some patients may benefit from the structure of 6th generation Motiva implants, while others may prefer a different option based on their anatomy or desired outcome. The key is finding what's best for you — and that's what we help patients decide every day.

Key takeaways from this episode:

Saline implants provided safety and flexibility, but were firmer with higher rippling.
Fifth generation gummy bear implants brought softness, safety, and customization.
Sixth generation implants combine natural movement with structure, helping address challenges like weight loss changes and rippling.
