Why Gummy Bear Implants Are Your Best Choice
If you’ve been searching for a natural-looking, long-lasting breast enhancement and want more than what push-up bras or padding can offer, Gummy Bear implants might be the perfect solution. You’re not alone, more and more women are choosing this option for its realistic feel, shape retention, and beautiful, subtle results. In fact, the Gummy Bear Breast Implant market is growing rapidly, valued at $1.2 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $2.5 billion by 2033, with a steady 9.3% annual growth rate from 2026 onward.
Gummy Bear implants, also known as cohesive gel or shaped implants, are a type of silicone implant filled with a thicker, more cohesive gel. This unique texture helps them maintain their shape over time, like a gummy bear, while still feeling soft and natural to the touch. They’re designed to reduce the risk of leakage, rippling, or unnatural movement.
At McRae Plastic Surgery, Dr. McRae is known for his skillful, thoughtful approach and natural-looking results. From consultation to recovery, he provides expert care and guidance, helping you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Who is a Gummy Bear Implant Candidate?
Gummy Bear implants suit women wanting a natural feel, lasting shape, and subtle, teardrop-style enhancement. You might be a candidate if you relate to any of these:
Loss of volume after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging
If your breasts look less full or deflated over time, Gummy Bear implants can restore a soft, youthful shape. Dr. McRae often helps women regain their natural look without going too large or dramatic.Mild sagging without wanting a full breast lift
These implants hold their shape well and provide a gentle lift, ideal for slight drooping without the scarring or recovery of a full lift. Dr. McRae will guide you if implants alone are enough or if a combined approach is better.Wanting a teardrop-shaped, natural appearance
Designed to mimic the natural breast slope—fuller at the bottom and tapering at the top—these implants offer an enhanced but understated look. Dr. McRae often recommends this option for its natural balance.Worries about rippling or shifting
Filled with thick, cohesive gel, Gummy Bear implants resist rippling and movement over time. Dr. McRae will explain how they maintain shape and give lasting peace of mind.
What Type of Gummy Bear Implants Do You Need?
Gummy Bear implants come mainly in two shapes, each with unique benefits:
Round Implants:
These provide an even fullness all around, especially enhancing the upper part of the breast. They create a more lifted and youthful look, which is great if you want noticeable volume and cleavage. Round implants can also help balance uneven breasts by adding symmetrical shape.Teardrop (Anatomical) Implants:
Shaped to mimic the natural slope of the breast, teardrop implants are fuller at the bottom and gently taper toward the top. This gives a softer, more natural contour with subtle enhancement. They’re often chosen by those who want a refined look that closely resembles the breast’s natural form.

Balancing Breast Shape After Motherhood
-
Background
This patient had a history of congenital breast asymmetry and previously underwent a left-sided reconstructive augmentation back in 2009. After having two children, she noticed that the asymmetry had returned and was now more pronounced than ever. -
Concerns and Goals
Her main concern was the uneven appearance of her breasts, which affected how she felt in clothing and swimwear. She wanted to restore a more balanced and natural shape while also addressing changes in breast volume and position that had occurred over time. -
Procedure Details
Dr. McRae performed a left implant removal and capsulectomy, followed by bilateral breast augmentation and lift. To achieve symmetry, he used a 335g full projection implant on the right and a 290g moderate plus projection implant on the left. -
Results and Feedback
Only a few months after surgery, the results speak for themselves. Her breasts now look even, lifted, and more youthful. The patient is extremely happy with her new contour and feels much more confident with her appearance, both in and out of clothes.
An Athletic Look with a Natural Lift
-
Background
This healthy, athletic, and naturally slender patient came to us looking for a subtle, natural-looking breast augmentation after having a child. She was tall (5’8”) with a lean build and wanted a small enhancement that would feel proportionate and authentic to her frame. -
Concerns and Goals
Her goal was simple: increase her breast size by about one cup and improve shape and volume without looking “done.” She wanted to maintain her athletic look and stay true to her natural silhouette.
-
Procedure Details
She chose 265 cc moderate profile smooth silicone implants, placed using an inframammary fold incision with a subfascial implant pocket, an approach that offers a soft, natural slope, especially in active patients with low body fat.
-
Results and Feedback
She healed quickly and was back to her active lifestyle in no time. She’s thrilled with the outcome, saying the size feels just right and looks exactly how she envisioned. These “athletic/yoga augmentations” are becoming more popular, and Dr. McRae loves this aesthetic.

Quit smoking and avoid alcohol to promote better healing. Dr. McRae may also advise stopping specific medications, like blood thinners, to reduce the risk of complications. -
1 Week Before Surgery
Follow Dr. McRae’s pre-surgery instructions, including dietary restrictions and avoiding certain supplements. Ensure all medical tests or pre-op consultations are completed. -
The Day Before Surgery
Prepare your home for recovery by setting up a comfortable resting area. Cleanse your skin as instructed and follow fasting guidelines to ensure a safe procedure. -
Surgery Day

Rest as much as possible during the first week and avoid any strenuous activities. Follow Dr. McRae’s advice on wearing compression garments to support healing. -
2-4 Weeks Post-Surgery
Limit physical activity and avoid lifting heavy objects. It’s important to attend follow-up appointments with Dr. McRae to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing. Continue wearing compression garments as directed. -
1-2 Months After Surgery
You can slowly return to light activities, but refrain from intense exercise or activities that could strain your chest. Any remaining swelling should subside, and the implants will begin to settle into their final position. -
