What are gummy bear implants?
They are technically called cohesive gel implants. They are a fairly new type of breast implant with an inner substance similar in quality to a gummy bear. When cut, it also resembles a gummy bear with a slice through it. They were designed this way to maintain their shape and integrity if rupture or leakage happens. The gel doesn't migrate. This adds a safety factor to these gel implants. Furthermore, this decreases wrinkling, folds and rippling associated with some saline and other silicone implants. They also have the look and feel of silicone. Capsular contraction also seems to be less of a problem. Gummy bear breast implants have been used outside of the United States for about a decade with positive results.Downsides to gummy bear breast implants
These breast implants cost significantly more than saline. The costs can be twice that of certain saline implants and the costs can be more than traditional silicone breast implants. There's also a slightly larger incision length required. Gel fracture is a problem caused by a crack in this semi-solid breast implant..
