11 Mar The Gummy Bear Implants Have Arrived!!
Gummy Bear Implants FDA Approved
Just last week, the FDA approved the long-awaited, heavily-studied, “gummy bear” implants. These highly cohesive, anatomically-shaped silicone gel implants from Allergan (Natrelle 410) are indicated for women undergoing breast augmentation, breast reconstruction or those desiring an implant exchange.
Gummy Bear Implants are great for women who have the following:
- Rippling or visible wrinkling of the implants
- Noticeable implant edges
- Thin chest coverage
- Small breasts
- Capsular contracture (tightening of the scar tissue around the implant)
- A desire for a more natural look and feel
Are Gummy Bear Implants right for you?
Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable or cohesive gel implants, are a type of silicone breast implant with a thicker, more cohesive gel that gives them a unique texture and feel. The gel consistency is similar to gummy bear candy, hence the name, and allows the implants to hold their shape more effectively, even if the shell is broken.
These implants are often teardrop-shaped to create a more natural contour that mimics the natural breast shape, which can be particularly appealing for women seeking a subtle enhancement. These are known for their durability, reduced likelihood of leakage, and minimized risk of complications like rippling. They are available in various sizes and profiles to match different body types and aesthetic goals.
If you fall into any of these categories, then this may be the implant you have been waiting for! Contact our office to see if you are a candidate for this new implant or give us a call at 480-282-8386.
