Revolutionary “Gummy Bear” Implants Provide Natural Feel and Added Potential Safety BenefitsReleased on = September 21, 2005, 2:34 pm Press Release Author = Wise Medical Group Industry = Healthcare Press Release Summary = New Innovative Technologies Discussed by Plastic Surgery Experts Press Release Body = CHICAGO, IL, September 25, 2005 – A discussion of new innovative technologies in cosmetic surgery procedures - including the “cohesive implants” breast augmentation - will be led by William P. Adams, Jr., M.D. at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons conference this weekend. Last year, over 3,000 were in attendance at this prestigious gathering of the world’s leading experts on plastic surgery. Form stable cohesive gel implants (cited as the “new” silicone implants) are such a hot topic in the breast augmentation world today because of their promising ability to provide optimal shape, deter leakage and minimize complications. One of the most compelling benefits of the new cohesive implants is their unique ability to shape the breast. “These new form stable cohesive gel implants provide patients with a very natural look and feel, as well as added potential safety benefits,” says Adams. These implants feel a lot like natural breast tissue and provide a way for women to enhance their breast size or shape, or to replace a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease. In fact, gel
implants are known as "gummy bear implants" because they
are made with a more viscous gel than previous silicone models.
“Several major advances in breast augmentation have benefited
patients in the past 5 years, and these devices represent the most
significant device related advance in breast implants for over 20
years. These cohesive gel implants have had great success in Europe
and South America over the past 10-12 years; however, in the US
are only available through FDA clinical trials. The early results
of these trials have been quite favorable. The new implants hopefully
will become more widely available in the US Dr. William P. Adams Jr. is regarded as a national expert in breast augmentation and breast/body contouring procedures and is renowned for his expertise in breast implant surgery. Dr. Adams has a private plastic surgery practice based in Dallas, TX and is also an associate clinical professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He is invited all over the world to speak to surgeons, industry and patients about breast augmentation and breast surgery technologies and issues. For more information
