When considering breast augmentation, you want implants that provide both a natural look and long-term durability. At Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute, we offer gummy bear implants, a cutting-edge option that has been growing in popularity, especially here in Arizona. These breast implants stand out for their unique composition, offering enhanced shape retention and a more natural feel compared to traditional silicone options.

What Are Gummy Bear Implants?

Gummy bear implants, officially known as highly cohesive silicone gel implants, get their name from the gel’s consistency—it holds its shape even when cut, much like a gummy bear candy. This advanced design helps the implants maintain their form while still feeling soft and natural.

Benefits of Gummy Bear Implants

Patients choose gummy bear implants for several reasons, including:

  • Superior Shape Retention: Unlike traditional silicone implants, gummy bear implants are form-stable, meaning they maintain their shape over time.
  • Natural Look and Feel: The cohesive gel mimics the texture of natural breast tissue, offering a soft yet structured appearance.
  • Reduced Risk of Leakage: Because the gel inside is highly cohesive, it stays intact even if the implant shell is compromised.
  • Lower Chance of Rippling: These implants have a firmer structure that helps minimize visible rippling, a common concern with saline and some silicone implants.

With these benefits, it’s easy to see why more patients in Arizona are choosing gummy bear implants for their breast augmentation procedures.

Gummy Bear Implants vs. Traditional Silicone Implants

When deciding between gummy bear implants vs. regular silicone implants, it’s important to understand the differences:

  • Cohesiveness: Gummy bear implants contain a thicker silicone gel, making them more resistant to shape distortion.
  • Form Stability: Their highly cohesive gel enhances their form stability, making them less likely to distort over time.
  • Leakage Risk: Traditional silicone implants may leak if ruptured, while the cohesive gel in gummy bear implants stays in place.

If you’re looking for an implant with superior longevity and a structured yet natural look, gummy bear implants may be the right choice.

Gummy Bear Implants: Teardrop vs. Round

Gummy bear implants are available in teardrop and round shapes, each offering distinct benefits:

  • Teardrop Gummy Bear Implants: Shaped to mimic the natural slope of the breast, teardrop implants provide a subtle, natural appearance.
  • Round Gummy Bear Implants: These offer a fuller look, particularly in the upper breast, making them a great choice for patients who want added volume and cleavage.

The best choice for you will depend on your aesthetic goals. During a consultation, we help determine which shape best suits your body type and preferences.
