gummy bear implants
These implants are approved by the FDA for use in USA. I had my round saline implants replaced with anatomical shaped gummy bears almost two months ago (in Costa Rica). I disliked the round, matronly look of my old implants, and wanted my shape to be projected forward rather than rounded at the sides. I'm really happy with my new shape and how I look in shirts now.
My doctor, like many doctors in other countries, has been using them for years. One probable reason they haven't been used here as frequently is that they are not as easy to insert. The doctor must carefully shape the pocket to fit the implant so that it cannot turn or shift. This kind of precision is not necessary with a round implant. Since surgeons have been accustomed to using round implants, it may take some time (and demand) before many of them feel compelled to gain the training and expertise required for gummy bear implants.
