Yes, they do.A great option to consider is the IDEAL Implant which combines the best of gel and saline-- at a better price point. Soft, natural along with the simplicity of saline!Plus, you won't have to worry about an expensive MRI study for checking for possible leaks.

"Gummy Bear" is a term used to describe Cohesive Gel implants. These implants are a little firmer than standard gel implants. Their advantage is that they hold their shape better, especially in the upper part of the breast. In addition, they are less likely to result in visible rippling. They are used in anatomical (teardrop shaped) and round implants. Allergan has a line of gel implants called Inspira. Within that product line, they have three gel options that differ according to how cohesive the gel is. They call them Responsive, Soft Touch and Cohesive Gel going from least "gummy bear like" to most. The third potential advantage of the cohesive gel implants is that if the shell leaks, the gel typically stays inside the implant and doesn't leak out. The answer to your question is the the Gummy Bear implants do cost more than the other silicone gel implants. It is best to speak to your PS about what he or she recommends for your specific anatomy and goals.
