Gummies Aren’t for Dummies
Discerning Breast Augmentation Candidates Choose New, High-Strength Silicone Gel Breast Implants
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 11, 2005 - If one size doesn’t fit all, how could
one choice fit all needs? For more than a decade American women have had no
breast implant options. Since the FDA restricted the use of liquid silicone
breast implants, women opting for breast augmentation have had only one option:
saline breast implants. While saline implants are the right choice for many
women, the new high-strength gel implants are less likely to leak and ripple and
feel more like natural breast tissue. American women needed more options that
offered better results and fewer complications.
Enter the High-Strength
Gel Implant. As technology continued to advance and companies continued to look
for a superior implant, a new type of silicone implant began to emerge. These
devices are fondly known as “Gummy Bear” Breast Implants, as they feel similar
to a soft, squishy – yet solid —material. These implants feel more like natural
breast tissue, offer great breast shape, and best of all they are cohesive. This
has made them very popular in the scientific studies with doctors, and more
importantly with the women who’ve received them.
“They simply make for
better breasts,” said Charlie Sheridan, director of the Marina Plastic Surgery
Associates and one of the first people to receive Gummy Breast Implants in
Southern California. “They are soft, sexy and natural! I couldn’t be happier to
have my new pair of ‘Bears’.”
Charlie was not alone in wanting a
superior implant. Women who are interested in breast augmentation want nothing
less than the very best results. This means the best surgeon, the best brand of
implant, and the best shape. Many women will research their options in
conjunction with seeking guidance from a respected surgeon and staff. Marina
Plastic Surgery receives calls from women all across the country that want Dr.
Grant Stevens’ expertise, coupled with his ability to use these exciting new
Implants. (Only a limited amount of surgeons have been selected and qualified by
the FDA to utilize these implants).
“Gummies aren’t for dummies,” Charlie
said, referring to the level of research the patients have done. And indeed, the
High-Strength Gel Implants seem to attract highly educated women who value their
beauty, value their lifestyle, value their health, and want to retain these
attributes as long as possible. Whether it was to exchange existing implants for
the Gummy Bear Implants or for first-time implants, women have flown in from
across the country just to make sure they got the Gummy versions.
“We’ve
had great results,” said Dr. Grant Stevens of the High-Strength Gel breast
implants used in a controlled study. “Women deserve a better implant. They
deserve more options. They deserve an implant that is long lasting. But most of
all, they deserve to feel good about their bodies, how they look and how they
feel – and the High-Strength Gel Implant is just a superior option.” In fact,
the implant really does mimic a Gummy Bear candy: it is pliable, but remembers
its shape. It is soft to the touch but resilient and it is very natural
looking.
The High-Strength Gel Implants have been available in Europe and
Brazil since the mid-nineties with great results. Not only do they look and feel
more like natural breasts, they last much longer than typical saline implants.
Currently these implants are being tested across the United States in clinical
studies. Participating physicians such as Dr. Stevens can choose 1000 women to
join in the study, with the agreement that the women will be available for
follow up exams for ten years.
Dr. Grant Stevens is a California
board-certified plastic surgeon and the Medical Director of Plastic Surgery
Associates in Marina del Rey and Palos Verdes. He specializes in cosmetic
plastic surgery and has been named one of America's Best Physicians in The Guide
to Top Doctors. Dr. Stevens was nominated by his colleagues making, this
recognition especially prestigious and rewarding. He is an active member at
Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital where he is the past Chairman of the Department
of Surgery, the past Chairman of the Liposuction Committee, and the past
co-director of the Breast Center. He is also on staff at St. John's Medical
Center and the Marina Outpatient Surgery Center.
