The evolution of silicone implants has included advances in both gel and shell technology to improve the clinical outcomes of the implants. The newest generation of implants includes implants with thick, strong shells and highly cohesive gel fill. These advancements allow for better maintenance of implant form and shape over time and improved implant safety. The Natrelle Inspira product line offers 3 different levels of gel cohesivity in a range of profiles to provide a wide variety of options for use in both breast augmentation and postmastectomy breast reconstruction. This article will review the use of Inspira implants in primary aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
