Do "Gummy Bear" implants get softer through the healing and settling process? (photos)

The implant is is more firm then traditional implants but does soften with time. I would suggest going in for a consultation to have an examine to see if you are a candidate for those implants and the size you are wanting. But looking at your pictures rest assured you should get a great result with which ever implant is used. Just make sure to go to a board certified plastic surgeon. Have a great day.

Thank you for your pictures. Only examination would determine if you are a good candidate for gummy bear implants. Gummy bear implants tend to be firmer than traditional silicone gel implants. 

If "gummy bear" implants mean teardrop-shaped textured-surface highly cohesive silicone gel implants to you, then the answer is "No, the implants don't get softer through the healing and settling process." Your breasts, however, DO heal and soften. The difference is important as these are inherently firmer implants than smooth, round, cohesive implants. These (textured shaped high-strength cohesive) implants don't settle either, as they are textured to stay adherent to the tissues in the position they are placed, making them position-sensitive (they would look pretty silly if they were upside-down for instance, or if they don't adhere and rotate around in their pockets).Plus, they cost more, require a larger incision for placement, and are more difficult to achieve symmetry.What part of those things do you like?To be fair, there is nothing wrong with these implants, but there is a reason that the vast majority of surgeons worldwide use smooth round cohesive silicone gel implants--they do not "leak," rarely rupture (would take a huge force to damage them), do NOT require periodic MRI scans (IMHO) since they cannot "leak," are less costly, softer, not position-sensitive (since they are round), and yet look teardrop-shaped when standing and flatten and round out (like normal breasts) when reclining. And, they require a smaller incision to place.What part of those things did you not like?I understand the idea of "natural" shape (but how about when reclining--isn't teardrop shaped UNNATURAL when on your back?), and like the idea of reduced capsular contracture and "insurance" for re-operation. But it's not the implant, it's the surgeon. Who may be influencing you into what I personally feel is an unnecessary "gummy bear implants are 'better'" point of view. I would not claim they are "bad," just a combination of things that are not required for someone with your excellent anatomy.

Appears as a yes. But best is IN PERSON opinions from boarded Plastic Surgeons vs over the internet guesses.... 

High cohesive gel implants are firmer and have texture surface. The indications for these implants are few but the risk of rotation and firmer breasts does not make it best option for all patients. The results of augmentation will depend on the patients breast tissue, implants size ,shape and surgeon's skills.
