Trish,Form stable implants tend to hold their tear drop shape which can provide a more natural looking result in some women. However, women that already have normal breast shape may not be appropriate candidates for gummy bear implants. I typically use them in women who have had mastectomy or very little breast tissue to begin with.Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA
Both implants are made of silicone. The differences are related to shape and cohesiveness of the silicone gel.Gummy bear implants are pre-shaped to variously shapes to imitate a natural breast and are made of silicone gel that holds its shape more. Slightly firmer hence the nickname "Gummy bear".Regular silicone implants are round and less cohesive gel which feels softer and more fluid and this allows it to change shape with movement and gravity.
