“Gummy Bear” Implants
An El Paso Breast Procedure
Choosing breast implants involves more than selecting a size. The type of implant you choose can influence the shape, feel and overall appearance of your results.
Gummy bear implants have become a popular option for women seeking breast augmentation because they are designed to maintain their shape while creating a natural breast contour.
At Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Centers of El Paso, our board-certified plastic surgeons take the time to review all of your implant options during your consultation. We evaluate your breast anatomy, discuss your desired outcome and help you determine whether gummy bear implants are the right choice for your breast augmentation procedure.
What Are Gummy Bear Implants?
Gummy bear implants are anatomically shaped, silicone-filled breast implants designed to create a natural breast contour. Made with a highly cohesive silicone gel, these implants offer a variety of volume and projection options tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
While these implants have been available in Europe for many years, they became available to U.S. patients after FDA approval. Patients often choose this implant because it closely reflects the natural curves of the breast while offering multiple volume and projection options.
Clinical studies have also shown advantages, including lower rates of capsular contracture, compared with some earlier implant designs. Their form-stable construction helps the implant retain its shape while minimizing the risk of visible wrinkling.
Why Patients Choose Gummy Bear Implants
Natural Breast Shape
The anatomical design of gummy bear implants is intended to mimic the natural contour of the breast. Patients are so pleased with the natural shape and look of this implant.
Reduced Rippling
Because the silicone gel is highly cohesive, gummy bear implants may show less visible rippling than some other implant options. This can be especially beneficial for patients with thinner breast tissue.
Shape Retention
The form-stable design helps the implant maintain its shape over time. Even if pressure is applied to the implant, the cohesive gel helps it return to its original form.
Multiple Volume and Projection Options
Breast augmentation is not one-size-fits-all. This implant has a variety of volume and projection choices and reflects the curves of a woman’s breast. The variety allows surgeons to tailor the procedure to your body proportions and cosmetic goals.
Low Capsular Contracture Rates
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant tightens and affects the appearance or feel of the breast. These implants have shown less rippling and lower rotation with a 69% lower capsular contracture rate.
Gummy Bear Implants vs. Traditional Silicone Implants
Traditional silicone implants are usually round and filled with a softer silicone gel. They remain a popular choice for women seeking additional fullness in the upper breast.
Gummy bear implants use a firmer, highly cohesive gel that helps the implant maintain its shape. Their anatomical design creates a gentle slope through the upper breast and more fullness in the lower breast.
Neither implant is better than the other. The best option depends on your anatomy and the look you want to achieve. During your consultation, our surgeons will review the advantages of each implant style and help you determine which one aligns with your goals.
If your breasts have significant sagging, implants alone may not create the shape you want. In that case, our plastic surgeons may discuss breast lift surgery along with breast augmentation.
What to Expect From Surgery and Recovery
During Your Surgery
Breast augmentation with gummy bear implants is typically performed under general anesthesia in an appropriate surgical facility. Our surgical team creates the incision, forms the implant pocket and places the implant according to the plan made during your consultation.
Recovery and Aftercare
After surgery, you will need someone to drive you home and stay with you during the early recovery period. Swelling, tightness, soreness and bruising are expected at first. You will wear your surgical bra as instructed and avoid strenuous activity while your body heals.
Most patients plan to be away from work or school for about a week, although recovery varies from person to person. Our team will give you detailed instructions about showering, sleeping position, medications, activity restrictions and follow-up appointments.
Swelling gradually improves during the weeks after surgery, and the implants settle into a more natural position as healing progresses. Incision lines continue to fade and mature over time.
Are Gummy Bear Implants Right for You?
You may be a candidate for gummy bear implants if you want breast augmentation with a natural-looking shape and you have realistic expectations about what implants can achieve.
During your consultation, we will evaluate:
- Your current breast size and shape
- Breast asymmetry
- Skin quality
- Nipple position
- Chest wall width
- Your preferred implant size
- Your desired amount of upper breast fullness
- Your medical history
- Your plans for future pregnancy or weight changes
Your consultation is the ideal time to ask questions. Recovery, scarring, implant placement and future pregnancies are common topics of discussion. We will explain your options and recommend an approach based on your anatomy and goals.
At Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Centers of El Paso, all new surgical consults are reviewed by our team. You are seen from start to finish, which gives you direct access to the person planning and performing your procedure.
