Gummy Bears: Cohesive Gel Implants

Despite the recent approval of silicone implants by the FDA, many women are still skeptical about getting silicone implants.

There may be an alternative however. Cohesive gel implants - or gummy bear implants as they are called due to their structure have been shown to be safer and reduce the risk of connective tissue diseases related to silicone implant ruptures.

They're called gummy bears because when they are split or ruptured, they retain the shape, much like a gummy bear or a fruit snack would if you were to cut them into pieces, resulting in no leakage of silicone into the system.

Cohesive gel implants also feel more like natural breasts compared to saline filled implants.

So if you're still not sure on whether or not to pursue silicone gel implants, keep cohesive gel implants in mind, and also remember that there is no conclusive evidence that the rupturing of silicone breast implants directly leads to connective tissue diseases and any other complications that have been associated with silicone implants in the past.
