Most people have never heard of gummy bear implants (GBI), but they are a cohesive gel option that offers many benefits. They are a little different than saline and silicone versions, making them a popular choice for many women. You’ll see benefits such as the shape, no ripples, no leaks and fewer scars, making them an optimal choice.
Fewer Scars
While there haven’t been many studies done, many women find that they have fewer scars with cohesive gel options. While there will still be some scarring, they are considered less firm than another implant would offer. There is no proven reason for this phenomenon, but some people believe it is because the silicone diffuses less. However, others believe the implant firmness won’t allow the body to contract as much.
No Leaks
The problem with breast augmentation is that the implant could leak into the body. It is usually considered a significant risk, but with gummy bear implants, you don’t have to worry. When an implant leaks, it is usually because the shell broke. With cohesive gels, fold lines aren’t likely to develop. However, if it does break, the filling is solid, so it won’t have a place to go.
No Ripples/Folds
Most problems occur when the implant folds or ripples. Folds can cause the folded area to break, causing leakage and rippling can change the shape of the breast or make it look unnatural. Because the implant has a particular shape and filling, it won’t shift inside the body. The cohesive gel has tighter molecule bonds, which help the implant stay in place, not collapse and not show ripples or folds.
Shapes
The biggest benefit of this implant type is that they will maintain their shape over extended periods. Other silicone or saline options can move, shift, or deflate slightly on one side, giving the look of unnatural breasts. However, cohesive gel holds their shape longer, so they aren’t subject to the laws of gravity as with other options. The breast will conform to the implant, rather than the implant conforming to the breast.
Differences Between This And Other Implant Choices
A traditional implant is subject to gravity and the breast shape, so things can change over time. However, the cohesive gel version doesn’t follow the laws of gravity, so it can maintain the shape better. Their filling is solid instead of a liquid-based material, so you are less likely to have leakage and other problems.
