GUMMY BEAR IMPLANTS - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Dr. Peter Capizzi, co investigator with the FDA study with gummy bear implants was a co investigator for the gel implants approved in November, 2006. "The gummy bear implants are a considerable advancement to the current gel implants available," says Dr. Capizzi.

Stillwater Plastic Surgery, P.A. is the practice of Dr. Peter Capizzi is the first practice in North Carolina to offer their patients through the FDA study the option of the form stable gel breast implant. Dr. Capizzi is dedicated to providing the latest advancements in breast surgery available.
Gummy Bear Implants are the most cohesive of gel implants available in the United States today; however, it is important to note that not all cohesive gel implants are gummy bears.
Gummy bear implants come in over 100 different shapes and sizes and provide the ability to match a breast more effectively in aid in improving asymmetry. Because there are many sizes and shapes it is important that prospective women interested in breast implants locate a board certified plastic surgeon that is experienced in placing these implants.
Technique is extremely important. These breast implants not only have more choices for the woman, but they are shaped more like the natural breast. These "shaped" implants require precise placement and preoperative planning is extremely important. Dr. Capizzi measures the width, the height, the skin envelope over each breast, notes the quality of the overlying tissue, and takes a history directed toward the changes of the breast that have occurred over the life of a woman. The gummy bear implants must be placed in position correctly to give the optimum appearance.
