What Are Gummy Bear Breast Implants?
Gummy bear implants are filled with a highly cohesive silicone gel that maintains its shape even under pressure. Unlike standard silicone gel, which flows more freely inside the shell, gummy bear gel is denser and more stable. This gives the implant a firmer feel and means it is less likely to lose shape over time (like gummy bear candy).
Dr. Wagner offers gummy bear implants from all four major breast implant companies:
- Natrelle®
- Sientra®
- Mentor™
- Motiva®
Are Gummy Bear Breast Implants Right For Me?
Gummy bear implants may be a great choice if you:
- Are 22 or older (FDA requirement for silicone implants)
- Have little or no existing breast tissue and want a defined shape
- Have existing volume concentrated in the lower pole of the breast
- Are having a first-time breast augmentation and want a structured, long-lasting result

The Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation with gummy bear implants is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 3 hours. Incision location and implant placement are discussed during your consultation based on your anatomy and treatment plan. Implants may be inserted either above or below the chest muscle.
Breast Augmentation Recovery With Gummy Bear Implants
Recovery follows the same general timeline as standard breast augmentation. Most patients return to desk work within 1 to 2 weeks. More strenuous activity is typically restricted for 4 to 6 weeks.

FAQs
Do gummy bear implants feel different from regular silicone implants?
Yes. Gummy bear implants feel firmer and more structured than standard silicone gel implants. Some patients prefer this quality, while others like the softer feel of regular silicone. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to compare different implants in person before making any decisions.
How long do gummy bear implants last?
Like all breast implants, gummy bear implants are not considered lifetime devices. Patients usually go many years without any issues, but monitoring over time is recommended. Dr. Wagner will discuss long-term expectations and follow-up care during your consultation.
