Your eyes, your nose, your smile…all of these are unique to you. Wouldn’t it be great if your breast implants were unique to you, too? With Natrelle gummy gel breast implants, they are!

What is a “gummy” breast implant?

As Natrelle’s website states, gummy describes the particular consistency of the silicone gel inside Natrelle INSPIRA® breast implants that enables the implant to hold its shape. All of the Natrelle gummy implants are soft, but you can choose between three different levels of gumminess, depending on how much gel firmness or squishiness you want.

The best way to determine the amount of gumminess that would be right for you is to feel each implant during your consultation with me in my office. You’ll be able to hold the different implants in your hands so you can judge their softness, and then turn them upright to get an idea of what their shape and silhouette would be once implanted.

With Natrelle gummy gel implants, you have a choice of four different degrees of breast fullness

Natrelle smooth gummy gel implants offer you four choices of breast fullness, from minimal to maximum, depending on the personalized look you would like to achieve.

You also have a choice of five breast silhouettes…

In addition to the four choices of fullness, Natrelle smooth gummy gel implants also offer you five profiles, or breast silhouettes, ranging from low to extra full. Based on your body structure and appearance goals, I can customize the particular look you are hoping to achieve.

…and three different levels of gumminess

Since no two women are alike, and the results they are seeking to achieve from breast augmentation are unique to each individual, Natrelle offers gel-filled breast implants with different amounts of cohesivities (“gumminess”). The gummier the implant, the more it holds its shape when held in your hand.

Choosing the best implant for you

When helping a patient decide on which type of implant would be right for her, I take into consideration the following:

• her body type
• her age
• her overall health
• the current size of her breasts

How much do breast implants cost?

One of the first questions my patients ask me when they’re considering getting breast implants is how much they will cost. My answer is that there is no one standard price. Every woman’s breasts are unique, and the results she is seeking from breast augmentation surgery are specific to her. That’s why I determine the exact cost of the procedure after I have met with the patient, evaluated her breasts, body type, overall physical condition and personal goals and expectations. Then together, she and I will decide what type of procedure will achieve the best possible results.

NOTE: If you are a good candidate for breast augmentation without a breast lift or other surgery, you may qualify for my special pricing. For further pricing details, please contact me.

If you have breast implants, contact me to get them checked

If you have breast implants — saline, silicone, gummy or textured — it’s important to get them checked regularly for ruptures, slippage, leakage, swelling or any other potential problems. For all of my patients with implants, I strongly recommend getting them checked once a year. If you have textured implants (the subject of a recent recall), you should act even sooner — contact me to get them checked right away.

Symptoms of potential implant problems

If you are experiencing of the following symptoms, contact me right away:

• pain
• lumps
• swelling
• breast asymmetry

However, if there are no symptoms, there is no reason to remove the implants.
