Anatomical

Also referred to as “teardrop”, anatomical breast implants offer a gentler contour in the upper portion and fullness in the lower portion of the breast, below the nipple, for a more natural look.

Benefits

A more natural look.
Generally associated with more “side boob”.
More fullness in the lower half of the implant.

Textured and Micro-textured

The shell of an implant is designed to hold the gel in place. It can either be smooth or textured. GCA®’s textured breast implants are designed to provide tissue adherence and reduce complications.¹

Benefits

GCA®’s offers two different kinds of textures, Nagotex and Cristalline
Texture allows implants to adhere to surrounding tissue making it less likely for them to rotate or drop.
Textured breast implants may have a thicker wall than smooth implants and thus can feel firmer.

Smooth Opaque

GCA®’s most recent innovation. A smooth opaque surface with higher surface roughness than a traditional smooth implant. They move naturally with the breast tissue as there is less adherence than textured implants.

Benefits

Easy insertion and smaller incisions.

They move naturally with the breast tissue as there is less adherence than textured implants.

Smooth

Smooth implants are round and can move naturally with the breast tissue. They are known to settle faster in the body and create a more natural look.

Benefits

Settle faster in the body and drop a bit more.
Easy insertion and smaller incisions.
They move naturally with the breast tissue as there is less adherence than textured implants.

Safety

When it comes to safety, not all breast implants are created equal. GCA® breast implants have 10-year safety data that provides evidence to support the safety, efficacy and performance. 500 patients evaluated for 10 years in the largest european multi-centric prospective study.

Rupture

Very low rate compared to competitors. 4.9% over the 10 years.

Capsular Contracture

Low rate for Baker grades III and IV. 13.8%

Reintervention

Very low rate. 13.3%. Most removal and exchanges were for non medical reasons( malposition, scars, volume change etc)

BIA-ALCL

Our 10 year and extended 17 year studies had no reports of BIA-ALCL, however the risk of developing BIA-ALCL with GC Aesthetics® textured implants has been calculated to be 0.001% based on annual post-market data (up to end of 2021) and there are no reported figures for BIA-ALCL with GC Aesthetics’® smooth implants (0%).
