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.

Fat Transfer Breast Enhancement – What Happens During the Procedure?

fat-transfer-breast-augmentation

Fat transfer breast enhancement is a natural method of breast augmentation wherein the candidate’s own body fat is used for augmentation purposes. This is preferred by many women over breast implant augmentation since no foreign material is inserted into the body. This procedure is provided at leading plastic surgery facilities in Manhattan, New York City by reputable plastic surgeons. Women planning to undergo this cosmetic procedure can schedule a consultation with their chosen plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure and take an informed decision. During this consultation, the plastic surgeon would decide if you are a candidate for this aesthetic procedure.

What Is Fat Transfer Breast Enhancement?

This procedure is also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transplantation. In this breast surgery, the surgeon would remove excess fat from areas such as the back, buttocks, love handles, thighs, and abdomen through minimally invasive liposuction. The purified fat is injected into the breasts to augment them.

Smartlipo Triplex is an advanced and safe laser device which the surgeon uses for carrying out liposuction. A small cannula would be inserted through a tiny incision made in the area from where fat is to be extracted. The powerful laser energy delivered would melt the fat in donor areas such as the thighs, abdomen and waist. 3 unique laser wavelengths are used for melting the fat. The extracted fat is processed for purification. This would ensure that the survival rate of fat cells is high. Sometimes, the surgeon would inject extra fat cells because not all cells would survive. The procedure would be successful depending on the following factors:

• The amount of existing fat and breast tissue
• Amount of fat that is transplanted to the breasts
• Amount of blood that is received by the breasts

In fat transfer procedure, the donor areas get contoured since excess fat is removed, while the breasts gain the desired volume.

The Right Candidate for the Procedure

The right candidates for the procedure are women who,

• Have experienced implant rejection
• Wish to have breast reconstruction after mastectomy
• Have underdeveloped or misshapen breasts
• Wish to have younger-looking breasts.

Fat transfer breast augmentation is a medically approved process and hence women desiring a more appealing breast contour can confidently undergo the procedure. However, for successful breast augmentation through fat transfer, a reliable plastic surgeon is indispensable. You need to make sure that all instructions provided by the surgeon during the pre and post surgery periods are followed closely for the best results.
