Cohesive Gel Breast Implants in Oakville, Ontario

Gummy bear breast implants, or cohesive gel implants, are made from highly cohesive silicone gel. These breast implants mimic the natural breast tissue more authentically. They feel and look like natural breast tissue.

The gel within these implants maintains its shape and form even when there’s damage or a rupture to the exterior shell. They tend to have a thicker consistency, much like what you expect from gummy bear candies.

When choosing any type of breast augmentation or breast implant, we look at all factors that contribute to how well one type or style of procedure over another will benefit the individual needs of the patient. Our first goal is to understand your objectives in terms of size, shape, and goals of plastic surgery.

Then, we take a look at your health. As with any type of plastic surgery, you will need to be in good health to safely have this procedure. Our team will discuss any medications or past health conditions with you before approving you for this cosmetic surgery.

Our consultation aims to align your desires with the feasible outcomes available. For some people, traditional silicone is the better option but for others, cohesive gel implants may offer a better overall experience for you. We don’t just consider the breast implants but the size and shape of your body, the width and consistency of your breast tissue, and the skin itself. We consider factors such as the width of your body, your weight, and existing natural breast tissue present.

Through each step of your consultation, our plastic surgery team is interested in your needs and goals. We want to create the look that you desire within the parameters of what will provide the best overall results for you. Our board-certified plastic surgeons are passionate about helping you achieve the best possible outcome.

Whether you have cohesive gel or traditional implants, we may recommend additional procedures that support and improve the outcome of breast augmentation for you. Some people benefit from the use of a breast lift at this time. Others may consider a brow lift to address sagging in the upper face. You may also benefit from liposuction or other specialized procedures to improve the shape of your body.

Dr. Khanna is a board-certified plastic surgeon. When you meet with our team, including Dr. Khanna, about breast augmentation surgery, we will discuss all of your questions and build a strong relationship with you. We want to know what your goals and needs are.

Dr. Khanna personally reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and will provide a very hands-on, personal approach to the decision of what type of breast implants to use, which type of procedure is best suited for you, and what steps you can take to ensure the best possible outcome. We are committed to providing exceptional care.

We encourage you to ask any questions you have about breast augmentation surgery, types of breast implants, and outcomes.

When you come in for breast augmentation surgery, you will already have a good idea of what is going to happen at every stage. You can expect the procedure to be done in our clinic; most people go home the same day. You will have local or general anesthesia during the gummy bear implant surgery, depending on your needs. You will not feel any pain during the procedure.

Your plastic surgeon will then make a single cut to place the breast implant. This may be done under the crease of the breast, around the nipple, or under your arm. The surgeon then separates the natural breast tissue from the muscle and connective tissues to make a pocket. The pocket may be placed behind or in front of the muscle, depending on the type of procedure selected.

We utilize state-of-the-art technology and equipment in every capacity. This, with our vast experience, minimizes any risks to you before, during, or after the procedure.

How Long Does Surgery Take?

Most patients have surgery that takes between 1 and 1.5 hours. We can provide more details about your specific expectations during your consultation.

Does Breast Gummy Bear Breast Augmentation Leave Scars?

Every incision on the skin can leave a scar. However, when choosing gummy bear implants, we also select the location of the incision carefully. This minimizes any visible scarring you have.

After your procedure, we will provide you with specific instructions on the care you will need.

Going home

• You’ll likely go home the same day. Make sure you rest and are not alone during this time.
• Follow all care instructions we provide after the procedure.
• You can expect some swelling, reduced sensitivity in the area, and tenderness.
• Come in for your scheduled follow-up appointment, and call us if you have any concerns.

One week to the first month

• Most people need at least one week of time to heal before going to work.
• Avoid lifting anything over 10 pounds during the next 4-6 weeks.
• Be very careful with physical activity of the upper body. We will let you know when it is safe to exercise.

Note that about six weeks prior to your surgery, during your pre-operative appointment, the ICLS team will provide you with patient-specific information and recommendations for the best recovery. Follow these closely.

A variety of factors may play a role in this but most people will find gummy bear implants tend to last 10 to 15 years. Unlike traditional silicone implants, you do not have to worry about saline implants leaking.

Discuss your procedure goals with us, allow our team to provide you with specific recommendations, and then receive the estimated costs for the care you need.
