Gummy bear silicone implants are a form-stable option for breast augmentation, specifically made to enhance shape, volume, and symmetry. Their cohesive gel helps maintain a natural breast contour while addressing concerns such as small, uneven, or deflated breasts. Dr. Wess Cohen offers personalized breast implant options to align with each patient’s goals.
Enhance your curves with cohesive gel implants
Gummy bear silicone implants are a modern type of breast implant known for their form-stable, cohesive gel filling. Unlike traditional implants, they maintain their shape while still feeling soft and natural. If you’re considering breast augmentation, these implants may help you achieve fuller, more proportionate breasts with lasting results. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing customization to your unique body and aesthetic goals. Dr. Cohen will guide you through the options to ensure results that feel authentic to you.
Benefits of gummy bear silicone implants:
- Natural look supported by cohesive gel
- Shape retention even under pressure
- Firmer consistency than traditional implants
- Reduced rippling for smoother contours
- Customized options in size and shape
- Long-term durability and stability
Gummy bear silicone implants vs. traditional silicone implants vs. saline implants
Gummy bear silicone implants
Gummy bear implants are filled with a cohesive, form-stable gel that holds its shape even if the shell is compromised. This gives them a firmer feel while still appearing natural, making them a strong option for patients seeking consistent breast contours. They are less likely to ripple and can be shaped to create either a teardrop or round appearance.
Traditional silicone implants
Traditional silicone implants are filled with a softer silicone gel that closely mimics the natural feel of breast tissue, providing a smooth, natural look. Because the gel is less cohesive than gummy bear implants, they may be more prone to rippling if the shell weakens. However, they may offer a softer feel and the ability to achieve subtle, natural enhancements.
Saline implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water after placement, allowing the surgeon to adjust volume during surgery for precise symmetry. They typically require smaller incisions since they are inserted empty and filled once positioned. Saline implants can deliver a firmer, more rounded look, but may feel less natural compared to silicone options.
What happens during gummy bear silicone implants surgery?
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, during which Dr. Cohen listens to your goals and examines your anatomy to determine the best implant size, shape, and placement for you. You’ll discuss your options for implant positioning and review potential incision sites. This ensures you understand the process and feel confident about your choices.
On the day of surgery, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia so you remain completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Cohen typically creates an incision in discreet areas, such as under the breast fold, to place the implant. The cohesive gel implant is positioned either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy. The surgery generally takes one to two hours, and you’ll spend time in recovery afterward before returning home the same day.
When will I see the final results?
You’ll notice an immediate change in breast size and shape after surgery, but swelling and the final shape will take time to settle. Over the next few months, your implants will gradually soften and drop into their natural position
By three to six months, you’ll see the final results, revealing fuller, more balanced contours that look and feel natural.
