Dr. Verne Weisberg, founder and owner of The Plastic Surgery Center says extra care is required in selecting a surgeon when choosing Anatomical Gummy Bear Implants due to the in-depth training and greater skill level necessary to place them correctly.

Portland, ME, December 16, 2014: Owner and Founder of The Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Verne Weisberg posted a new article on his website entitled, “Greater Surgical Skill Required for Anatomical Gummy Bear Implants.” Selecting a plastic surgeon requires research and a careful selection process. But, according to Dr. Weiss, patients need to be even more cautious when they want Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants.

Dr. Weiss shares information from CBI, (Cohesive Breast Implant) an organization dedicated to providing reliable breast implant information that states, ““Though the new technology in cohesive implants is very exciting, your final result will be affected more by your surgeon than your implant.” (www.cohesiveimplants.com/expert-cohesive-surgeons)

Weiss goes on to state that, “Working with the gummy bear implants requires a depth of experience and skill that many plastic surgeons have not acquired. In fact, in the U.S. these implants have been available only to a very limited group of physicians.”

As if that is not reason enough, Weiss continues, saying, “Another reason to be especially diligent in selecting your surgeon is that some manufacturers will sell their implants, as CBI states, “to any doctor, whether or not they are actually plastic surgeons.”(www.cohesiveimplants.com/expert-cohesive-surgeons)

Weiss expounds on the beauty of the implants, “Replicating the shape of a natural breast, the Mentor Anatomical Gummy Bear implants are beautiful. Because they are thinner at the top, when placed correctly they feather out across the chest smoothly, allowing the bottom of the breast to form a beautiful teardrop shape with the fullness at the bottom.”

He also advises to specify between cohesive and highly cohesive implants when interviewing surgeons. Weiss explains, “The highly cohesive implant’s filler is thick enough to allow the implant to maintain a shape. The Mentor Anatomical Gummy Bear implant is highly cohesive, while other types of implants do not hold their shape.”  Weiss adds, “The Mentor Anatomical Gummy Bear Implant with Level III Gel offers greater longevity and predictability of outcome.”
