Embrace the New You this Spring with Breast Augmentation in Englewood Cliffs

Looking forward to a fresh start this spring? Consider a new shape with a breast augmentation with gummy bear implants, also known as form stable implants. Similarly to other breast implants, gummy bear implants aim to improve the shape and size of the breasts. Read on to learn more about gummy bear implants and how they can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. 

What Are Gummy Bear Breast Implants?

In recent years, gummy bear implants have gained popularity as the preferred choice for breast implants. Named for their resemblance to the consistency of gummy bear candies, these implants are favored for their naturalistic shape and feel. They contain a high-strength, cohesive silicone gel that maintains its form, which minimizes the risk of rippling and gives consistent, natural-looking results.

When it comes to any form of plastic surgery, safety is paramount. Gummy bear breast implants are FDA-approved and safe for use. They are also less likely to rupture or leak than their standard counterparts, ensuring you can enjoy your new look with peace of mind.

Benefits of gummy bear implants include:

  • Natural feel
  • Long-lasting results
  • Fewer complications 

Gummy Bear Implant Considerations

While traditional silicone and saline implants are often round-shaped, gummy bear implants are teardrop-shaped. They are also denser compared to these other types. This option may be preferable if you are seeking less fullness in the upper part of the breast, as well as a more natural droop in the bottom half. However, it will be more noticeable if the implants rotate out of place since they are a teardrop shape.

The shell of a gummy bear implant is typically textured to prevent the rotation of these teardrop-shaped implants. These textured implants have been found to have a lower rate of complication known as capsular contracture, which occurs when the tissue surrounding the breast implants becomes abnormally thick or tight, causing discomfort and asymmetry. Gummy bear implants may also require a longer incision to place. Fortunately, Dr. Fiorillo is a highly skilled and experienced surgeon who knows where to make incisions for proper concealment.

It is important to keep in mind that breast augmentation does not address breast laxity or droopiness; to address this concern, you may benefit from a breast augmentation with lift

The Gummy Bear Breast Augmentation Procedure

The gummy bear breast augmentation procedure involves placing the gummy bear implant within a pocket made beneath the breast tissue (sub-glandular placement) or under your chest muscle (submuscular placement). It’s typically conducted under general anesthesia and lasts for about one to two hours.
