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.
Stay tuned to Plastic Surgery Untold for more insights as we explore the world of cosmetic surgery, the evolution of breast implants, and how technology continues to expand patient options.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
