Going "Extra Large" with Gummy Bears

Much of cosmetic surgery is about making your outside reflect how you feel on the inside. This can be especially true of breast augmentation. While some women feel confident as a size C, others would feel most comfortable as a DD. If going extra large makes physical and emotional sense for a patient, I usually recommend that they choose gummy bear breast implants in Los Angeles.

Why Big Bears?

For women interested in dramatically increasing their size, a natural look and feel becomes particularly important. With extra large implants, that can be a challenge. Semi-solid, cohesive gel silicone breast implants (commonly referred to as gummy bear breast implants) provide a natural feel, yet will not change their shape or leak. Gummy bears are also less likely to cause folding or rippling.

How to Get a Pair of Bears

Gummy bear breast implants are currently undergoing an FDA clinical trial. While the trials are closed to new participants, FDA approval of this new implant type is expected sometime in the coming year. If you are considering breast augmentation over the next year and want to "go big," I suggest you talk with your doctor about the availability of gummy bear breast implants.
