Gummy Bear Breast Implant: Top 10 Things to Know

Gummy bear breast implants have become a popular choice in breast implant type for women considering breast augmentation. Also known as silicone cohesive gel breast implants, the gummy bear breast implant gets its popular name because of its consistency. With a very dense, high-strength silicone consistency, this implant resembles the common gummy bear candy.
Approved by the FDA in November of 2006, the silicone cohesive gel breast implant has quickly risen in terms of popularity. Besides the benefits to its look and feel, the gummy bear breast implant may be more durable and less likely to rupture than saline breast implants.
Gummy Bear Breast Implants Top 10 List of Things To Know
Appearance. One of the main advantages to this type of breast implant is that due to the consistency of the solidified gel, gummy bears tend to make the breast look natural. They hold their shape in a way that saline cannot. The are not likely to wrinkle and fold over time, and much less apt to ripple. Due to their composition they will tend to remain in an upright position and are less likely to sag.
Touch. Many women will report that this is one of the biggest advantages. The cohesive silicone gel feels more natural to the touch than a saline implant. Additionally, they do not have the occasional sloshing sound that a saline breast implant can have.
Consistency. The density of the silicone composition makes the implant feel much more like the natural tissue of your breast.
What’s it made of? Gummy bear breast implants are made of a solidified silicone gel. Silicone breast implants were approved by the FDA in November 2006 after years of study and silicone breast implant trials.
Rupture. If this type of implant ruptures it will actually hold itself together, whereas a saline breast implant will leak and shrink over a period of a few days. Unlike the original silicone breast implants, this generation now has a thick outer shell and due to its consistency is less likely to leak.
Incision Methods. The size and make up of this implant makes your choice in terms of incision method more limited. Your scars will be a bit larger so that the doctor will have room to place the implant. Importantly, the popular belly button incision method (transumbilical) is not a possibility with gummy bears. Gummy bears can be inserted through the nipple, under the breast, or through the armpit.
Durability. Only time will tell since this type of implant is relatively new to the market but the results so far are very promising.
Downside. Perhaps the biggest downsides to this type of breast implant are the costs and the limitations in incision methods. The cost today is approximately one-thousand dollars more than a saline breast implant. The possibility of a larger scar from the incision and the inability to perform belly button insertion may be a deterrence for some women.
Ask your doctor. Are silicone gel breast implants right for me? How many breast augmentations have you performed with gummy bear breast implants? What do your patients say are the benefits? What will my scar look like?
Breast Implant Size. Gummy bear breast implants are available in a wide variety of breast implant sizes. Depending upon what your goal in breast size is you may choose from sizes as small as 100cc all the way up to 1000cc. Whether you are looking to have breast augmentation to increase your bra size by one cup (approximately 150cc), two cups (300cc to 350cc), three cups or more, you will find a cohesive gel breast implant that will fit your goal size.
Breast Implant Size
As you decide upon your breast implant size it is important to note that this is one of the most critical decisions you will make. Studies show that the most common reasons women go back to their doctor for a second or third breast augmentation procedure is simply to change their breast implant size.
If you choose gummy bear breast implants you will be investing a significant amount of money, time, along with some risk. The latest industry buzz is around helping women choose their breast implant size appropriately the first time to avoid subsequent surgeries.
The latest innovation to help you choose is called The Purlz Breast Sizing System. This system actually allows you to experience various breast implant sizes over a period of time. The past methods such as the rice bag test have proven deficient in the most recent studies. By taking some time to wear these breast sizers you will experience the thoughts, emotions, and feelings associated with various breast implant sizes.

Saline or Silicone – You Now Have More Choice in Breast Enlargement
Even though silicone implants now have approval from the FDA, saline implants are still a good choice for many women. Saline is available to women 18 years and older, unlike silicone where the minimum age is 22 years (that applies to simple breast augmentation). Saline implants, like their gel counterparts, have silicone shells, but the inside is filled with salt water instead of silicone gel.
