Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S. every year. Now, a new type of breast implant is in high demand across the U.S. This FDA-approved product is characterized by its unique texture. Women with an aversion to overly rounded breast implants can now reconsider their options thanks to the arrival of the new cohesive implant, which is comprised of a stable, semi-solid gel.
The gummy bear implant is the popular nickname used to describe a cohesive implant, which has become a ubiquitous term since its arrival in 2005. It is the implant’s form-stable structure that separates it from the alternatives. Similar to the candy from which the nickname derives, a gummy bear implant feels squishy yet maintains enough firmness to hold its shape.
