The race for a new type of breast implant has been on for quite awhile, with patients and medical practitioners alike growing weary of the saline and silicone models of implants that have been the norm in breast augmentation procedures for decades. Fortunately, there is a new type of implant on the market that is making the industry very excited. Known as the "gummy bear," this is a different material that is more firm yet yielding, more closely mimicking a women's natural breasts.
The gummy bear form of breast implants are popular and have been since their conception because they don't lose their shape like saline implants do. While saline has been used as a supposedly safer option in breast augmentation for quite some time, the new silicone gel gummy bears hold their shape with little chance of leakage or rippling. They are more convenient and affordably priced than other options on the market, meaning that they have become some of the most asked-for implants in cosmetic surgery offices around the country.
