The 410 breast implant is a significant advance in breast implant technology. It is a cohesive gel implant meaning there is no liquid silicone contained in the implant. It is also known as “form stable” meaning it maintains is shape when placed into the pocket. It is available in a large variety of shapes and sizes. The individual implant dimensions are based upon your goals with respect to breast reconstruction or implant revision.

The use of the implant is currently restricted to an FDA controlled research protocol that requires regular and routine follow-up. 

These implants were originally invented with two purposes in mind: 1) to make a longer- lasting implant, and 2) to make an implant that would maintain a more attractive and predictable shape. This goal is primarily achieved by making the gel more cohesive, so that it is less liquid-like and more solid than other silicone gel implants. For this reason, they have been known as the “gummy bear implants”. Though preliminary data suggests these implants might be meeting its goals, prospective enrollees must understand that these claims have not yet been proven.
