Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Do Gummy Bear Implants feel harder?

Do Gummy Bear breast implants feel harder than the current Memory Gel Implants?

The gummy bear implant also known as the 410 was developed so that no silicone would escape into the capsule should it rupture.  The reality is that none of the implants used now days have a problem with "bleeding" of silicone through the capsule.  Meaning, that if the implant ruptures the silicone goes into the capsule and that's it.  It won't cause any other problems.  So I frankly don't see the point of the 410 implant because it's much more firm and therefore much less like a normal breast.
