Hello I heard FDA approved Allergan, Mentor and Silimed. Which company is the best in the case of gummy bear? (I'm skinny and have a narrow chest. AA cup)
Answer: Gummy bear. Which company is the best? The "gummy bear" implant is a catch term for the highly-cohesive, textured, anatomically-shaped silicone implant. Each of the three companies that you listed are FDA approved in the U.S and have their own version of this implant. There are subtle differences between the texturing as well as cohesiveness of the implant, but all are reputable companies. Much of it is surgeon preference. Best wishes!

Answer: Gummy Bear silicone breast implants- Which company is the best? Gummy bear is just a catch all phrase for any type of cohesive or new 5th generation silicone implant. Three companies make them and they all have slightly different feels of gel and surrounding gel. The softest of the 3 types is Sientra. I have found these to work in thin patients with little tissue. (They even work well in mastectomy patients with no breast tissue.) However, any implant is more visible, if the implant is too large. So choosing the correct size and shape of implant is important. Sientra has some nice shapes but there is some limitation for the larger sizes. I imagine that if you are narrow chested, then you may not need too large of an implant. A 3D imaging system, like Crisalix, is nice to visualize what you may look like after augmentation. Make sure to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience with these devices. Good luck!

Answer: Gummy bear cohesive gel implants. They are three companies who have FDA approved cohesive gel shaped breast implants. In my practice, while all three are available I find Sientra implants to fit most patients needs better in terms of projection, naturally enhancement and final outcome. Moreover, their warranty is better than the other two manufacturers offering a lifetime warranty. You need to be examined and undergo 3-D imaging to simulate your postoperative I come with different size and shape implants.

Answer: Breast Implant Manufacturers Thank you very much for your question. All three manufacturers are reputable and have good data to support the effectiveness and safety of their devices. There are some small differences between the companies that they use to try to distinguish themselves from each other, but most surgeons don't feel like there is a major difference. We have preferences about what we use but you will hear arguments on each side. Most surgeons will choose an implant that fits the patient's needs best despite the manufacturer. If there is a good reason to use a particular implant, most experienced surgeons will make the choice of the implant that is best for the patient in their own hands. Discuss this matter further with your surgeon.

Answer: Gummy bear manufacturers All three manufacturers are highly reputable. Every surgeon has individual preferences but it is honestly like Coke v. Pepsi. Sientra is the new kid on the block so we have had much less experience in dealing with the company in terms of warranties, etc. The key is that the implants are purchased from the manufacturer and not on the gray market.
