What is a gummy bear implant?

Hello. Great question. There are basically only two types of breast implants. Saline (basically the fluid in IV bags), and Silicone. This type is silicone is similar to jelly. The silicone come used to be very loose, like watered down jelly. Therefore, if a silicone implant ruptured, or basically tore, the silicone would ooze out causing all sort of problems with the breast. In 1991, these implants were banned by the FDA. In 2004, the breast implant companies, came up with a more viscous, less liquified silicone, so that if the implant ruptures, it won’t ooze out. Some started calling it “gummy bear”. Just like when one bites on a gummy bear leg, the rest of the bear doesn’t ooze out of the leg and it still retains its shape. Funny no? Well, those implants still oozed out slightly, so a couple of years ago, Mentor came up with a new one called Mentor Memorygel Xtra silicone. This is what I use. This is a true “gummy bear”. No oozing at all, and has a thicker shell. It’s the best. You can visit my website at DrRoya.com for further information.
