Since being reintroduced to the U.S. market in 2006, silicone breast implants have seen a rapid growth in popularity. Yet, many women considering the perfect breast shape still struggle with the “saline verses silicone” question.
While silicone breast implants are often considered more natural looking than their saline counterparts, the potential risks associated with silicone leakage or migration deter some from going the silicone route.
This may about to change with latest breakthrough in breast enhancement technology– “gummy bear” breast implants:
What exactly are “gummy bear” breast implants?
Gummy bear breast implants are composed of high-strength silicone gel, which means they are capable of holding their shape, even in the event of rupture. The risk of leakage is minimal, especially in comparison to traditional silicone implants.
Do gummy bear breast implants look and feel natural?
The appearance and texture of gummy bear breast implants also set them apart from competitors. They feel similar to gummy bear candies – soft, squishy and semi-solid. The material holds it soft natural shape, unlike liquid-filled or tradition silicone implants which can wrinkle, fold or ripple over time.
Where can I get gummy bear breast implants?
Gummy bear implants have been popular in Europe and Canada for several years, but were only approved for testing in the U.S. in 2002. Gummy bear breast implants are currently being studied for mass market use in the U.S. but are yet not FDA-approved. However, approval for these cohesive gel implants in the U.S. may be fast approaching.
