Top Things To Know About Gummy Bear Breast Implants in NY

Gummy bear breast implants have become one of the most popular options for breast implants in NY. Also known as “cohesive gel implants,” they derive their name from their shared consistency as that of the candy bears. Their high density makes for implants that are both strong and pliable, making them more resistant to tears and ruptures than traditional saline implants. So are gummy bear breast implants right for you? Below are the top X to know about gummy bears.

1) Appearance – The solidified gel that comprises gummy bears makes for an implant that feels incredibly reaslistic. Whereas saline implants are apt to wrinkle, ripple, and fold over time, cohesive gel implants are much better at holding their shape.

2) Feel – Obviously if you get breast implants, you want them to feel as natural as possible. Cohesive silicone gel accomplishes that and more, eliminating the occasional “sloshing” sound that can accompany saline implants.

3) Materials – Gummy bear breast implants are made of a solidified silicone gel. They were approved by the FDA after extensive trials and testing in November of 2006.

4) Durability – Whereas a torn or ruptured saline implant will leak and shrink, cohesive silicone gel implants hold their shape and will not leak. Their thick outer shell also makes them less likely to rupture in the first place.

5) Incision Methods – Due to the larger size of gummy bear breast implants and their resulting scars, your incision options are somewhat more limited. The popular belly button incision method is unfortunately, not possible with these types of implants. The implants can be inserted through the nipple, under the breast, or through the armpit.

6) Gummy Bear Implants Cost – Other than the limitation in incision methods, a possible deterrent for some women may be the slightly larger price tag. Gummy bear implants cost roughly 1000 dollars more than a saline breast implant. However, for most women the quality of the implants and the natural look and feel they provide are more than worth the extra money.

7) Shapes and Sizes – Gummy bear breast implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Sizes available range from as small as 100cc up to 1000cc. As far as shapes go, there are traditional round, oval, and teardrop breast implants available for all gummy bears. High profile breast implants are also offered for women who desire a more voluptuous figure.
