What is the difference between a cohesive gel implants and a gummy bear implant? Hi, this is Dr. Roy Kim in San Francisco. One of the more common questions I get is, “What is the difference between a ‘cohesive gel’ implant and a ‘gummy bear’ implant?” In my right hand is “cohesive gel”. It’s silicone and you can see it’s smooth, it has a round shape, but it’s also relatively soft which may be hard to see or feel through the video. Next up is the “gummy bear” implant. This is silicone- it’s more firm. It has an anatomic or tear drop shape as well as the fact that it has a textured shell. That is the difference. They are slightly different and used for different purposes in breast augmentation surgery. If you have any other questions, please let me know.”, #breastaugmentation #breastimplants #silicone #cohesivegel #gummybear #round #anatomicshape #teardrop #anatomic Plastic Surgery Education By @drroykim
