Gummy bear implants offer more natural looking breast enhancement

If you seeking a breast implant option that can provide more natural looking results, gummy bear breast implants could be the answer. These cohesive gel implants are filled with high-strength silicone gel and more stable than silicone gel or saline implants, and offer more natural breast contour.

These FDA-approved implants are gaining popularity for the superior results that they offers. Gummy bear implants (also known as anatomically shaped or teardrop-shaped implants) are fuller and rounder towards the bottom part and thinner at the top, giving a natural shape and size to the breasts. They are an ideal option for breast enhancement, breast lift, and revision of breast enhancement surgery. As they are made with high strength silicone gel, they retain their shape even when cut in half and are just like chewy, gummy bear candies. These implants come in different shapes and sizes and can easily fit any specific body contour or type.

Cohesive Gel Implants – Benefits

• More natural looking breasts
• Reduced risk of capsular contracture (buildup of scar tissue around the implant)
• Longer lasting results
• Improved breast shape and size
• Do not leak if ruptured
• Minimal scarring

How Gummy Bear Differ from Other Implants

Unlike saline and silicone implants which are filled with a liquid solution, gummy bear implants are filled with a highly cohesive silicone gel. So even if the gummy bear implant ruptures, there is no chance that the gel would leak into the body. Moreover, in saline and silicone implants, the leakage normally occurs along fold lines and there are no fold lines in gummy bear implants. These implants also retain their shape for a longer period of time and implant shape does not change with positional changes.

The surgical procedure used for gummy bear implants is quite similar to that used for saline and silicone implants. The incisions for insertion of the cohesive gel implants are made in the crease below the breast (also known as inframammary fold) and are a little larger compared to the other options.

Find a Plastic Surgeon with Experience in Cosmetic Breast Surgery

It is important to find a plastic surgeon with experience in breast implant surgery to ensure natural looking results. Choose an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery center that provides the services of qualified and skilled plastic surgeons. Make sure that the plastic surgeon you choose has experience in performing gummy bear implant surgery. Reliable plastic surgeons use advanced technology such as Axis Three which allows patients to visualize the outcome of the planned procedure. This helps in pre-operative planning for customized results.

Gummy Bear Breast Implants for Superior Results

The new FDA-approved gummy bear breast implants are a good solution for women to improve breast size and shape.

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures.  This plastic surgery procedure to enhance breast size and shape is performed using saline and silicone implants as well as fat transfer, which involves using autologous fat or the patient’s own tissue for enhancement. The latest option, FDA-approved gummy bear breast implants, is gaining popularity for the superior results that it provides. These implants are used for breast enhancement as well as for breast lift and revision of breast enhancement.

Gummy bear implants offer many advantages over the other options:

• Firstly, the implants help maintain the breast shape over an extended period of time which is much longer compared to other implant types.

• With these cohesive gel implants, the chances for folds and rippling are quite rare. The filling does not shift around the implants due to its distinct shape.

• Implant leaks are less likely to happen once the gummy bear implants are placed.

• Scarring is minimal.

• As there is only less diffusion of silicone compared to other fillers, only a low capsular contracture rate occurs with this implant type.

• As it is available in a variety of sizes, the appropriate anatomical shape can be selected that matches the natural body characteristics for the desired contour.

• These implants not only enhance breast size but also improve symmetry and provide a more natural appearance

For the best results, it is important to have the procedure performed by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. In established AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practices, plastic surgeons used advanced 3-D technology such as Axis Three to provide customized results. Patients can view 3-D images of their breasts from various angles. The system helps the surgeon in preoperative planning by capturing linear and volumetric measurements, allowing them to provide patients with gummy bear implants that suits overall body proportions.

Undergo Breast Lift Surgery to Resolve Various Breast Disorders

Breast lift surgery or mastopexy is the best option if you are looking to lift your breasts to a perkier, youthful position. This procedure restores the natural shape and firmness of the breasts.

Women often lose the shape and firmness of their breasts due to post pregnancy effects, weight loss or with passage of time and this results in the sagging of the breasts. Breast lift surgery or mastopexy is the best option if you are looking to lift your breasts to a more perky youthful position. This procedure restores the natural shape and firmness of the breasts. The “lifting” is done by reshaping and re-suspending the internal breast tissues and removing the excess skin. In some cases, the nipple and areola complexes are reduced and repositioned.

Conditions Addressed by Mastopexy

• Flat, elongated or pendulous breasts
• Breasts that have lost shape and volume
• Nipples falling below the breast crease
• Nipples and areola point downward
• Stretched skin and enlarged areolas
• One breast is lower than the other

To qualify for the surgery, you should be in good health and should not have a life-threatening illness or a serious medical condition that can interfere with healing.

Breast Augmentation along with Breast Lift for More Attractive Results

In case you have small breasts and desire more volume, you can undergo breast implant augmentation along with breast lift. This will definitely improve the appearance and appeal of the breasts. The breasts become firmer and rounder and look more youthful. This combo procedure is also a good option for women who have lost the volume of their breasts following pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Safe and Effective Outpatient Procedure

Mastopexy is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. General anesthesia is made use of while performing the breast lift surgery procedure. The surgery requires approximately 1 ½ to 3 ½ hours. Usually patients spend an hour or two in the recovery room after which they can go home. The recovery period after this procedure is 5 to 7 days. Any edema or swelling present will subside within a few weeks. You may experience a burning sensation in the nipples for about 2 weeks, which will also subside as the bruising fades.

It is always advisable for women planning pregnancy to postpone the breast lift surgery post delivery, as pregnancy and breast feeding may cause further stretching of the skin.

Choose an AAAASF-accredited Plastic Surgery Center

Breast lift surgery should be ideally provided by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon at an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery facility. This will benefit you with a safe and effective procedure. Make it a point to understand all aspects of the procedure as well as the results you can expect. Maintain realistic expectations regarding the results to avoid disappointments.
