====Fifth generation==== Since the mid-1990s, the fifth generation of silicone gel breast implants is made of a semi-solid gel, which mostly eliminates the occurrences of filler leakage ("silicone-gel bleed") and of the migration of the silicone filler from the implant-pocket to other areas of the person's body. The studies ''Experience with Anatomical Soft Cohesive Silicone gel Prosthesis in Cosmetic and Reconstructive Breast Implant Surgery'' (2004) and ''Cohesive Silicone gel Breast Implants in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery'' (2005) reported relatively lower rates of [[capsular contracture]] and of device-shell rupture, and relatively greater rates of "medical safety" and "technical efficacy" than those of early-generation breast implants.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1097/01.prs.0000176259.66948.e7 | last1 = Brown | first1 = M.
