Current Breast Implants Technology: Orange County Silicone Gel Breast Implants

The current generation of silicone gel implants are a cohesive gel implant.  They, however, are not THE cohesive gel implants or gummy bear implants that you discuss.  These gummy bear implants are more cohesive, firmer, and less pliable.  They are a form-stable type of implant, meaning the shape does not change.  They are more anatomic, but they may not give you the “natural augmented look” that many women desire.  They are not without problems or issues as well.  These gummy bear implants can have issues with rippling as well.  They are not currently available in the U.S. except for a few offices that are enrolled in current FDA studies.  They are available outside of the U.S.
