Achieve natural-looking, long-lasting breast enhancement with gummy bear silicone implants. These cohesive gel implants maintain shape while offering a soft, realistic feel. They provide beautiful, fuller breasts with a reduced risk of leakage or rippling.
Augment Your Breasts With
a Natural Look and Feel
Gummy bear silicone implants are a type of highly cohesive gel breast implant designed to maintain their shape while providing a soft, natural feel. Named for their consistency, these implants have a thick, form-stable gel that reduces the risk of leakage, rippling, and deflation. Their teardrop shape mimics the breast contour, offering a fuller, more realistic appearance. Compared to traditional silicone or saline implants, gummy bear implants provide enhanced durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal.
Gummy Bear Silicone Implants Help With:
- Loss of breast volume
- Asymmetrical breasts
- Sagging or deflated appearance
- Lack of breast projection
- Changes after pregnancy or weight loss
- Congenital breast deformities
- Desire for a more natural breast shape and feel
Gummy bear silicone vs. saline implants
Gummy Bear Silicone Implants
Gummy bear silicone implants are made of a highly cohesive, form-stable gel that maintains its shape while providing a natural feel. Their teardrop design mimics the natural breast contour, offering a more realistic enhancement. These implants are durable, with a lower risk of rippling, leakage, or rupture than traditional silicone or saline implants. Additionally, their firm structure reduces the likelihood of capsular contracture, a common complication of breast augmentation.
Saline
Implants
Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution after insertion, allowing for adjustable volume and a smaller incision. They provide a firmer feel and are more prone to rippling and wrinkling, especially in women with thinner breast tissue. In case of rupture, the body naturally absorbs the saline, making detection easy. While saline implants generally require less invasive placement, they may not offer the same natural look and feel as gummy bear implants.
Benefits of gummy bear silicone implants:
- Maintains shape for long-lasting results
- Feels soft and natural to the touch
- Reduces risk of leakage or rupture
- Minimizes rippling and wrinkling
- Provides a more natural breast contour
- Offers enhanced durability and stability
- Lowers risk of capsular contracture
- Ideal for women with thinner breast tissue
Gummy Bear Silicone Implants FAQs
How long do gummy bear implants last?
While no implant lasts a lifetime, gummy bear implants offer long-term results, often lasting 15 years or more. Regular check-ups and imaging tests, such as MRI or ultrasound, help monitor their condition over time.
Do gummy bear implants feel natural?
Yes, their form-stable gel closely mimics natural breast tissue, providing a soft yet supportive feel. They also maintain their shape better than traditional silicone or saline implants, enhancing their realistic appearance.
Are gummy bear implants firmer than other implants?
Yes, gummy bear implants are slightly firmer due to their cohesive gel composition. However, this firmness helps them hold their shape and reduces the risk of rippling or deflation.
Can gummy bear implants rupture?
Although highly durable, gummy bear implants can still rupture. However, unlike traditional silicone implants, the gel inside remains intact, preventing leakage into surrounding tissues.
Do gummy bear implants require a larger incision?
Yes, because of their thicker gel consistency, gummy bear implants require a slightly longer incision for placement. The most common incision sites are under the breast (inframammary) or around the nipple (periareolar).
