Gummy Bear Natrelle Implants
“Gummy bear" Natrelle implants is a popular nickname for highly cohesive, form-stable silicone gel breast implants. They get this name because the silicone gel inside is thick, cross-linked, and holds its shape like a gummy candy—even if the outer shell is cut or damaged.
The Three Natrelle "Gummy" Gel Levels
Level 1: Responsive Gel: It moves naturally with the body's motion but offers less structural "lift".
Level 2: SoftTouch Gel: Providing a balance of a soft feel with added shape retention and fullness support.
Level 3: Cohesive Gel: The firmest and most highly cross-linked formula. It holds its structural shape exceptionally well, making it ideal for maximum upper-pole breast fullness.
Key Benefits of Current Smooth Natrelle Gummy Implants
Rippling Reduction: The cohesive gel fills the implant shell uniformly and resists folding, patients experience a very low rate of visible wrinkling or rippling under the skin.
Leak Mitigation: In the rare event of a shell rupture, the highly cohesive gel stays bound together rather than migrating into surrounding breast tissues.
Position Versatility: Form-stable gels maintain a predictable shape whether you are standing or lying down.
