Cohesive gel breast implants are also known as Gummy Bear implants. They are only available in an anatomical shape in the United States, and have a textured surface to prevent unwanted implant rotation. Gummy Bear breast implants are gaining in popularity all over the world, but what are they? They are cohesive gel implants; a new breast implant for the women of America that is creating a lot of excitement. At this time, the FDA does not allow their use in the United States except in FDA clinical trials, but women elsewhere in the world – especially Europe – are speaking very highly of this new implant. These breast implants are commonly called Gummy Bears because they have the look and feel of Gummy Bear candy. They are made of a cohesive gel that differs from the saline and silicone implants, in that Gummy Bears are a solid mass. They have no liquid filler. While their outer shell is similar to the other implants, the inside is not. If you cut one in half, there is no liquid released. You simply have two pieces of implant, both in a solid mass form. This alleviates the major fear women have with silicone gel implants – leakage of a toxic chemical into their body. The cohesive gel Gummy Bear implant has nothing to leak! It is true that the traditional silicone gel implant can also be said to be cohesive, but the phrase cohesive gel is only correctly used to refer to the newer, solid mass gel implant still in FDA clinical trial in the United States. The term is not used on the older style implants with the silicone gel liquid filler. The Gummy Bear implant is anatomically shaped – it is not made in the round shape of the older breast implants. The term anatomically shaped means they are shaped like a woman's anatomy. Like a real breast, there is more fullness at the bottom of the implant than there is at the top. The surface of the implant is textured, which helps prevent the unwanted rotation suffered by smooth surface implants. There are two benefits to this design of anatomically shaped. The first is a more gradual, natural slope to the implant from where it is attached in the actual breast. Secondly, the implant maintains its natural breast shape regardless of the position of the woman - whether she is sitting or standing, or lying on her back. If she is sunbathing on the beach, the anatomical Gummy Bear implant holds its shape because it has no liquid to flatten out like a fried egg. When a woman with traditional implants stands, the silicone or saline filler redistributes to the bottom, giving the appearance of a naturally sloped breast. The current FDA clinical trials for Gummy Bear implants includes four different levels of cohesive gel. That means that, in the future when the Gummy Bear implant is finally approved for use in the United States, a patient may be able to choose the level of firmness she wants her breasts.
