The aim of this work is to precise the indications to respect and the pitfalls to avoid in prosthesis setting using anatomical cohesive silicone gel implants.135 patients that undergone a reconstructive or cosmetic prosthesis setting were reviewed. Patients satisfaction has been assessed basing on the breast shape, consistency and symmetry. Complications (both usual and specific) were assessed and analysed. The results for mammary reconstruction after expansion or autologous flap and for cosmetic submuscular breast augmentation were good. Complications were unusual as far as the appropriate surgical procedure had been performed rigorously. These implants are an interesting alternative solution to round shape prosthesis in reconstruction indication. In breast augmentation border line indications, a beautiful result may be expected using these implants.
