Replace saline implants with gummy bear

Erica writes, “I currently have breast implants, and have had them for over a year and a half. I am having a problem with my right breast implant completely shifting out of its normal position and almost up to my collar bone (extremely uncomfortable and looks horrible). I have contacted my surgeon but in the meantime I have been looking for options, why this may have happened and what should I do or if I need to get a different kind of implant put in. Currently I have the round smooth saline implants. I ran across the gummy bear implants and I understand that they are less likely to separate and stay more upright when laying down (which is a main concern of mine since mine did separate kinda far while laying down). My question is I really love the look of the round implant (fake look) and I would like to know does this implant keep the round cleavage look?”

At this time, the gummy bear implants are not approved by the FDA. As your research says they are a much better alternative (better shape retention at all times) but still in the clinical trial phase. In other words, if you have the option to wait (while it may happen fairly soon but no one really knows; they might not be approved also in case their safety is in doubt), then just see what happens. If not, you might have to have corrective surgery, preferably with another surgeon, because your last plastic surgeon definitely did not do a good job
