Which brand of implants makes the MOST Highly Cohesive - aka gummy bear implant?

Question

Matthew H. Steele, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  All of the major companies offer a "cohesive gel" of various firmness and cohesiveness (stickiness).  The "gummy bear" implants are more cohesive and are considered 5th generation silicone gel.  While some of the implants are firmer, this varies between the different companies. Sientra offers the widest spectrum of 5th generation highly cohesive implants in both shaped and round devices.  They have an excellent track record and are not overly firm.  Share you question with your plastic surgeon and research the different companies to make sure you feel comfortable with your implant choice. Good luck.

All current breast implants are more cohesive than previous implants.  Anatomically shaped implants are a bit more cohesive to retain their shape.  While cohesiveness is good, too much of a good thing can be bad.  The more cohesive the implant the harder and less natural it feels.  Balance should be the order of the day

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

You should realize that if you think about a gummy bear, you
are referring to a solid piece of material.No breast implant is a solid piece of material irrespective of what
brand to utilize.For whatever reason,
Sientra implants have been proverbially named the gummy bear implants.I truthly think that all three implant
manufactures make a terrific product.I
tend to choose an implant based on a particular patient’s dimensions and needs
as opposed to a brand.I wish you the
best of luck.

Totally disagree with the MD below, the highly cohesive gel implant is the 5th gen gel available in the U.S. Sientra has the only full line of gummy bear implants available.  Allergan has a partial line and Mentor less. Sientra also has a round form and shaped form.  The largest study to date has illustrated an excellent safety and patient satisfaction profile, better than the 4th generation implants. Take a look at the Sientra line, soft yet strong,  you owe it to yourself.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Gummy implants are produced by the major US manufacturers. I am not a big fan of them because they are very firm, and are textured.
