Do the gummy implants give more of a larger appearance & size because of the gel?
Answer: It Depends on Many Factors Hello,High density gels and overfilled devices tend to have similar appearances to saline devices. Tissue characteristics, previous scar tissue, and implant position may have an effect on perceived size. However, volumetrically those two hypothetical implants are identical in size. Best of luck!

Answer: Sizing between saline and silicone 600cc in both saline and silicone will be the same size. However, silicone does provide more of a natural feel to it compared to the saline. I suggest seeking a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation.Regards,

Answer: Saline vs silicone The size is exactly the same, regardless of type. 600cc of anything is still 600cc. However, the look, feel & weight will be different. Saline implants are generally rounder and firmer, with a less natural look than silicone. However, with the more highly cohesive or gummy bear implants, the difference seems to be less so than with previous generations of silicone implants. If you have very thin or minimal breast tissue, I would steer you in the direction of silicone.

Answer: Implants Great question! Saline implants give a more augmented balloon-like feel and look. Silicone gels are softer and more natural. The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon
