With summertime approaching, many patients who have been contemplating breast augmentation surgery are now weighing the pros and cons of their breast implant options. New York plastic surgeon Dr. Mark D. Epstein weighs in on one of the most recent breast implants to receive FDA approval, the gummy bear implant.
Officially known as Allergan’s Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Filled Breast Implant, the implant got its “gummy bear” nickname as a result of its soft, smooth and jelly-like feel. Although it was only approved by the FDA last year, the gummy bear implant has been available and widely used in Europe, Canada and Asia for more than a decade.
"The Natrelle 410 shaped gel implant’s recent FDA approval marks the first time we are able to use them in the United States," says Dr. Mark D. Epstein, who practices at the Center for Aesthetic Surgery, located in Stony Brook, NY. “This unique implant is a much-needed new option for women who are unhappy with the size, appearance or shape of their breasts."
“This implant’s distinct shape and contour provides patients with a number of various advantages,” Dr. Epstein explains. “Most notably, the Natrelle 410 implant’s profile more closely resembles the curve of a woman's natural breasts."
Unlike traditional round silicone or saline implants, gummy bear implants come in a teardrop shape, which is preferred among women who are looking to undergo a breast augmentation procedure but still want their bustline to look “real”.
The implant's design and shape-retaining consistency are specially designed to have a form that lends a more natural appearance and slope to the patient's breasts. Gummy bear implants come in different sizes and with a textured shell, or exterior, which helps the shaped implants remain in their intended position. The Natrelle 410 implant’s design also makes it ideal for breast reconstruction and revision surgery.
