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.

One of the decisions a doctor and a patient has to make during the breast augmentation process is deciding on which surgical procedure is right for the patient.
The sub-glandular procedure is when the implant itself is placed over the pectoral muscle right underneath the breast tissue.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to a sub-glandular placement.
First of all, the implants are very easy to insert. Most if not all surgeons can do this procedure with relative ease. In most cases there is less recovery time associated with this placement; mainly because there is no incision to the muscles - only to the skin and breast tissue.
With sub-glandular placement woman can opt for larger implants. Especially those desiring distinct cleavage. The look is easily attained with a sub-glandular placement and is used specifically when the breasts are naturally wider spread apart - as opposed to women who have natural cleavage with breasts closer together.
Sub-glandular placement is not without its disadvantages however.
Two distinct visual artifacts can result from this placement. Rippling and capsule contracture are found more common in this placement. Rippling is when the implant sets with the scar tissue and pulls down on the tissue and skin (due to gravity and healing); the extreme resulting in “ripples” on the outside of the breast. Imagine an orange beginning to over ripe and start to wrinkle and ‘deflate’ a bit. Capsule contracture happens when the scar tissue begins to grow around the implant and set the implant into place but sets it in a disproportional position, making the implants and resulting breasts look crooked, or lop-sided or in extreme cases, being totally placed away from the breast.
The other downside to sub-glandular breast augmentation is that it can be attributed to the ‘fake’ look. Women seeking natural looking breasts may not want this procedure, sub-glandular placement has a very defined and rounded appearance.
Regardless, you should always do proper and extensive research on your breast augmentation endeavor. Most importantly aside from being properly educated, always, make sure your doctor is Board Certified. You will find only Board Certified Plastic Surgeons on Breast Implants USA.
