Gummy bear implants are a type of silicone implant made from a form-stable, cohesive gel. Their unique filling material and teardrop shape provide the most natural-looking results of all breast implant options.
Silicone breast implants tend to feel more like natural breast tissue than saline alternatives. This is particularly true of the form stable (“gummy bear”) breast implant, which is filled with a cohesive gel that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue almost perfectly.
Silicone implants require a larger incision and cannot be adjusted after placement. On the other hand, silicone implants look and feel more natural, even when placed above the muscles of the chest, and are unlikely to ripple, wrinkle, bisect, or otherwise become aesthetically impacted.
Round implants are the most popular option because it gives patients excellent fullness, lift, symmetry, and cleavage. They can be filled with silicone or saline. Patients with round implants are also less likely to experience health complications or have the implant rotate or move out of position.
Moderate Profile Implants are some of the most natural-looking breast implant projection for most women. They provide projection that is not too low or too high. Moderate Plus Profile Implants are the most common implants used.
A: A much-generalized rule of thumb is that one cup size is about 175cc. Therefore, if you are an A-cup and desire to be a full C-cup you should expect to try implants around 350cc.
The 20s and 30s are the most frequent time that women have breast implants. Women in that age bracket are usually in the best health of their lives, have an awareness of their body appearance, and they are mature enough mentally for breast implants.
The first is the amount of natural breast tissue and the second is the size of the implant. "If the natural base of the breast is small, and the implants are very much larger, then they will tend to look fake.
Breast Implants Start High
Your breasts may also look smaller than you were hoping for. At first, the muscle and breast tissues are tight, compressing your implant. In time, these tissues will relax and loosen, and the breast implant drop will occur and develop into a more natural-looking position.
The larger your implant, the better your cleavage since they occupy more space on your chest wall. Large implants will occupy more horizontal and vertical space on your chest wall, automatically giving you more cleavage. High-profile implants give the most upper pole fullness.
While it depends on the body's individual shape, teardrop implants are considered to look more natural due to their anatomical silhouette and lack of projection in the upper chest.
300cc breast implants
The 350-400cc range is the most popular implant size range for women in the US as it is enough to make a visible difference, but it still appears natural and proportionate.
Smaller Implants vs.
Implant size plays a role in determining how natural the breasts appear. The larger the implant, the longer it will take to settle and feel natural. Significantly larger implants may never develop a natural feel, particularly in the case of saline implants.
It's common for patients to be able to feel their implants, especially at the base, especially if the muscle isn't covering them at the bottom. They won't completely blend in with the rest of the tissues. However, when the implants are placed properly, it will be difficult to feel anything.
An implant will weigh around the same as the equivalent amount of breast tissue.
Gummy bear implants are a little safer than traditional silicone implants because there's no risk of the silicone leaking out into the breast tissues if the implant shell is ruptured.
Popular implant size – The most popular size for breast implants is between 350 to 400 cc. For most patients, this would look like a small to a large C cup. In fact, all of the top 5 most popular sizes are between 350 to 500 cc.
Generally speaking, you shouldn't consider going braless for at least six weeks after breast augmentation. Your breasts need to be thoroughly supported during this time to ensure optimal healing. After six weeks, you may occasionally go braless, but try to keep this to special occasions, and don't make it a habit.
In an effort to simplify sizing estimates, some surgeons give a rule of thumb of 150 to 200cc per bra cup size increase; however, some of our patients need a 300cc implant to achieve one cup size increase, while for others something as large as a 340cc implant is more appropriate.
Breast implants generally take 6 weeks to 3 months to adjust and look natural. Like many other things in life, they're well worth the wait. The length of the adjustment period depends on a few different factors such as your age and how much swelling you experience.
The predominant factor of cleavage is the width of your chest bone, or sternum. A wider gap causes less cleavage, while a narrower gap gives you more. If your breasts are spaced far apart before breast augmentation, this will continue to be the case after surgery.
According to the Australian Breast Device Registry (ABDR), an estimated 20,000 women undergo breast augmentation surgery every year in Australia - for cosmetic reasons or reconstruction after cancer.
In many cases, breast implants can remain in good shape for 20 years or more. Every patient is different, and the life of your implants will depend on your body and how you take care of your implants.
