Gummy Bear Implants
“For years, plastic surgeons have been striving to find a breast implant that feels more natural. They may have found the solution in a simple sweet treat: Gummy bears. The so-called Cohesive Gel, nicknamed the ‘Gummy Bear Breast Implant,’ is made from an inedible, semi-solid silicone and feels almost exactly like a gummy bear, according to Dr. Donald W. Kress, one of a handful of U.S. doctors who have begun offering the implant to patients. He prefers the ‘Gummy Bear Implant’ to saline or silicone-filled bags, saying there’s less chance of leakage or wrinkling with the more solid implant. Currently, the ‘Gummy Bear Implant’ comes in 20 sizes and five shapes, including a teardrop style and both high and low projection models. Dr. Kress has installed the new implants in 160 of his patients so far and says 90 percent of his new clients prefer them to old school implants.” —FlashNews.com (US)

Admittedly, it has been a while since PervScan touched a gummy bear. But PervScan knows what a breast feels like, and somehow the thought of a gummy bear doesn’t quite replicate it. The candies seem, well, chewier than a breast. Stiffer. Harder. Less resilient. There’s a good reason that saline-filled bags have been the standard implant for so many years, since breasts feel more or less like water balloons. Wouldn’t a gummy bear implant feel like a balloon filled with caramel or industrial sludge or something?
Of course, PervScan has stated its objections to breast implants in the past. To add fuel to the fire, just last week a study demonstrated that up to 93 percent of silicone implants rupture within ten years — which makes you wonder why this gummy bear implant, which is also silicone, is any better than the old ones currently banned by the FDA. Is that the reason behind their feel-good name? Is naming the implants after a candy an effort to sweeten their prospects for acceptance?
As one considers the various implant options and reports about them, as Perv Scan has done with “gummy bears” one needs to remember that one of the major consumers of implants are breast cancer reconstruction patients. I am considering these implants because I have had trouble with the saline ones looking ripply and sloshing around and becoming encapsulated. I was afraid of the old silicone implants and see that the gummy bear implants may be the solution. Loosing “C” Cup sized breasts at 49 is rough enough without having to wade through sarcastic comments about implants from folks who seem to think that implants are mostly a simple cosmetic choice rather than the prosthesis that they are for so many women. If I can have something that will fill out my clothing and look fairly normal, and give me no complications, I will feel happy and lucky.
