Yes. The following are excellent and have published reports (which is considered highly prestigious)

Breast implant candidates have a number of choices and decisions to make regarding the surgery: the breast implant size, shape, and material; the types of incisions used and location in which the breast implants will be inserted. Because of health concerns associated with silicone, most candidates must use breast implants filled with saline. (Under certain specific conditions, candidates may be eligible for silicone gel breast implants, for instance, if they are willing to participate in a scientific study.) Most breast implants consist of a silicone shell filled with saline.
What you may be referring to are:
Mentor and Silimed's High-strength Cohesive Gel Implants
The semi-solid gel implants, called High-Strength Gel Implants, feel softer and more natural than saline implants, and unlike saline implants, they will not wrinkle. The high-strength gel implants also differ from saline or standard silicone implants which leak if the implant shell is ruptured.
Cutting into a high-strength gel implant is a little like cutting into a "gummy bear". Essentially they are leak proof- as they are made of a Newtonian solid (semi-solid) gel-like material- not a bag filled with gel.
Breast implant prices average between $5,000 to $8,000 per procedure, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, although specific breast implant costs can be greatly more or less than that figure, depending upon various factors. To determine breast implant prices, include anesthesia, pre- and post-operative care, surgical facility fees, medications, and of course the actual breast implant cost for the implant itself.

Best of luck.
