Allow Dr. Dorner with his extensive experience in body cosmetic procedures and his meticulous attention to every detail to explain the Gummy Bear breast implants. Gummy bear, or form stable implants, are designed to look like a tear drop, thicker at the bottom and tapered towards the top in an attempt to mimic the natural shape of the breast. To maintain this shape, the silicone gel in the implant is firmer than that which is routinely found in a round implant. The consistency of the gel inside the implant is thicker, and maintains its shape even when the implant is cut in half. Therefore these types of implants are commonly referred to as ‘gummy bear implants’. Form stable implants offer an additional option for women desiring breast augmentation surgery. As with all devices, these implants have advantages and disadvantages.
Before choosing an implant, every patient should discuss the potential risks and benefits with her surgeon, as form stable implants may not be the optimal choice for every woman. One of the purported advantages of form stable implants is that they match the shape of the natural breast, giving more fullness to the bottom of the breast. Comprised of a stiffer gel, less wrinkling of the implant is expected, and some women desire the additional firmness of the implant. Finally, because they are all textured, there is some evidence to suggest that the patient’s risk of developing a capsular contracture around the implant could be lessened. Disadvantages include potential rotation of the implant in which case the thicker part of the implant can distort the breast’s shape. Because the gel is thicker, a slightly longer incision to insert them is often necessary. Some women also disapprove of the gel’s consistency. Of course, form stable implants also share risks common to all breast implants including rare cases of infection, bleeding and implant rupture.
