Ready for a fuller life?

You’re unique, from your breast shape and body structure to where you are in your life and what you want. Shouldn’t your breast implants be too? Now they can be, with Natrelle gummy gel breast implants. You choose the size, shape and “gumminess” of your implant for a breast silhouette that’s unique to you.

Are gummy breast implants only for women who want really large breasts?

No. Gummy implants give you a fuller look but full shouldn’t be mistaken for large. The right implant for you will give you rounder, plumper breasts while still fitting your body size and shape and your individual proportions.

Should you request a certain bra size?

No. When selecting your implants, you need to think about two things: size and projection. Breast implant size is actually measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not by bra cup size. The larger the implant, the higher the number of cc. Projection refers to the side profile. or the distance the implant projects from your body. The amount of volume and the degree of projection you choose will depend on your body type and the shape and fullness you want. To learn more, please contact me for a free consultation.

What breast size and shape would you like?

With Natrelle gummy breast implants, you can choose from four different degrees of breast fullness, from maximum to minimal, depending on your own individual goals.

For the degree of projection, choose one that fits your body and your goals

Natrelle gummy breast implants come in five profiles, from low to extra full. Based on your body structure and aesthetic goals, I can customize the particular breast profile you have in mind so that you’re happy with the results.

Then choose the gumminess you want

No two women are alike, which is why Natrelle offers gel-filled breast implants with various cohesivities (“gumminess”) to satisfy a variety of preferences and body types. The gummier the implant, the more it holds its shape when held in your hand.

What “look” can Natrelle gummy implants give you?

Natrelle implants are designed for a full look — especially at the top. The best way to choose the right implant for you is to feel each one during your consultation with me. You’ll be able to hold actual samples in your hands to judge their softness. You should also hold them upright to get an idea of what their shape would be once implanted.

When asked if breast implants are safe, my answer is yes.

In over 20 years of performing breast implant surgery in my plastic surgery practice, I have encountered very few complications in my patients as a result. For women who want larger breasts, who want the size and shape of their breasts to match, or who have had a mastectomy and want breast reconstructionbreast implants are a highly satisfying, long-lasting solution.

Who should NOT get breast implants?*

  • Women with active infection anywhere in their body.
  • Women with existing cancer or precancer of the breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions.
  • Women who are currently pregnant or nursing.

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.
