Can you advise on gummy bears or silicone safety?

I'm considering getting implants but not sure i want to commit to another surgery in the future of getting them removed or replaced. One very reputable doctor i had a consult with said the gummy bears have just been fda approved to not have to be removed, but i can't find any literature on that. Then another reputable surgeon said that gummy bears were recalled and linked to lymphoma and won't use them. So now i question their safety and if they really are approved for a lifetime.
