Gummy Bear Implants in New Jersey & Philadelphia
Gummy bear implants are a type of silicone breast implant filled with a highly cohesive gel that is thicker, firmer, and more stable than traditional silicone, while still remaining pliable and strong. These implants feature a silicone outer shell and come pre-filled with a specific volume to help achieve the breast size you desire. At our locations in Princeton, Voorhees, Yardley, and Philadelphia, Dr. David W. Allison offers gummy bear implants for patients seeking a natural-looking and long-lasting enhancement. Some women find that the consistency of these implants looks and feels more like natural breast tissue compared to other implant options.
What Is Gummy Bear Implants ?
Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable silicone implants, are breast implants filled with a highly cohesive silicone gel that maintains its shape. They are designed to provide a firm yet natural-looking result with enhanced structural stability.
Because the gel holds its form, gummy bear implants are often chosen by patients seeking a more contoured breast shape with long-term durability. These implants are available in various sizes and profiles and may be shaped to provide a more natural slope.
Dr. Allison evaluates each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine whether gummy bear implants are the most appropriate option for achieving balanced, natural-looking results.
Benefits of Gummy Bear Implants
Gummy bear implants offer several unique advantages due to their cohesive gel structure.
Key benefits of gummy bear implants include:
- The cohesive gel is more stable and durable than traditional silicone
- If the implant ruptures, the gel remains in place and the implant retains its shape
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue tightening around the implant) is less likely to occur in implants that have not ruptured
Implant selection is an important part of breast augmentation. Dr. Allison helps patients understand how gummy bear implants perform and whether their characteristics align with individual goals and preferences.
Gummy Bear Implants
While gummy bear implants provide structural benefits, there are also considerations to keep in mind.
Potential drawbacks of gummy bear implants include:
- Implant ruptures may go unnoticed because the gel maintains its shape
- A larger incision may be required since the implant is pre-filled
During consultation, Dr. Allison discusses both the benefits and limitations of gummy bear implants to ensure patients can make informed, confident decisions.
Gummy Bear Implant Risks
Besides implant rupture, there are other risks associated with breast implant surgery:
- Scar tissue forming around the implant (capsular contracture) Infection
- Infection
- Pain
- Breast sensation changes
- Interference with mammogram readings/results
- General dissatisfaction with the size or appearance of the breasts
As with any breast implant, a gummy bear implant may need to be replaced in the future; the lifespan of breast implants is approximately 10 years. The risks associated with implants can be minimized by choosing an experienced and well-trained surgeon and having regular exams to monitor any changes in your breasts.
