Gummy Bear Implants: Breast Augmentation Best Option in 2024?

What Are Gummy Bear Implants?

To get the shape of sexy models with teardrop-shaped breasts that you often see on magazine covers, you must seriously consider breast augmentation with gummy bear implants, which is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery in Turkey.

Gummy bear implants, known also as highly cohesive gel implants or gummy bear boobs, are one way to augment the appearance of the breasts and mimic their natural slope. They come under 2 main commercial brands: Sientra® and Natrelle® implants.

Surgeons started to use these implants in the mid-2000s after evidence accumulated indicating their ability to maintain the breast shape better than implants made of saline and silicone. However, FDA limited their use to only women over 22 years old as a recent study revealed.

Gummy Bear Implants Pros and Cons

These implants can address many issues and improve the shape and size of your breast, but they also have some drawbacks that you must be aware of. In any case, breast augmentation with large gummy bear implants may have a lot of advantages in the long term.

Pros Of Gummy Bear Implants

• Retain their shapes over time, thanks to their stable and solid consistency
• Less likely to cause capsular contracture, which refers to scars forming around the implant
• Less likely to produce unrealistic roundness as the case with other kinds of implants
• Invulnerable to leaking after the breaking of the implant shell
• Less likely to change direction or position within the breast

Cons of Gummy Bear Implants

• Require a longer incision during surgery
• Available in limited shapes compared to other types of implants
• More expensive than other types of implants
• Don’t move or behave like the natural breast tissue
• Can’t fix the issue of breast drooping, which requires a separate breast lift surgery

Are Gummy Bear Implants Right for You?

Reflecting on the aforementioned pros and cons of these implants, you can certainly see the strong and weak features of this kind of implant.

Without a doubt, these implants are a great option to augment and improve the shape of women’s breasts, but not all women can choose them.

They are among the best option to enhance the appearance of your chest and get that natural, “tear-drop” shape that you’ve always wanted.

However, you must consult your plastic surgery to determine if you’re a good candidate for gummy implants, especially if you’re seeking a revision of previous breast augmentation.

Gummy Bear Implants Sizes & Shapes

Gummy bear implants come in different sizes, but their shapes are somehow limited.

Gummy Bear Implants Sizes

Based on your preferences, your surgeon can offer you different sizes of these implants to pick from. However, large gummy bear implants are usually filled and closed before placement in the chest. The available sizes include:

• Low size implants
• Moderate-size implants
• High-profile round implants
• Oval implants
• Classic implants

Gummy Bear Implants Shapes

You can get smooth or textured gummy bear implants. Still, their shapes are usually limited to “teardrop” shapes, meaning they project toward the bottom of the implant to take the natural “anatomical” shape.
