Breast Implants and Mommy Makeovers


One of the most common reasons for women getting breast implants is to replace fullness lost due to childbearing. When a woman goes through pregnancy, her breast tissue and glandular matter swell up in anticipation of breastfeeding an infant. This is nature’s way and part of survival of the species. It can be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, it can also zap away the fullness of a mommy’s bosom.

A pre-pregnancy and youthful breast is often full and perky. The external flesh is usually a taut container around the mammary glands and fatty tissue. When it stretches out in order to incorporate the maternal changes as well as the breast milk, it often never returns to the snug roundness it once was. Once a baby has been weaned, the internal components of the bosom may never be quite the same. This has come as quite a shocking revelation to many a young mom.

Mommy makeovers are quite popular with women who have finished childbearing. Tummy tucks and breast enhancements can give a mom back her curvy shape. Some women only need the insertion of an implant while others may need a nip and tuck in order to lift the bosom. These lifts are called “mastopexy” in medical jargon.

Once a woman has returned her figure to attractive youthfulness, she can focus on the next couple of decades of childrearing. A happy mommy who feels good about her looks will be an upbeat nurturer, as well.

Gummy Bear Breast Implant Gaining Approval

There is a new type of breast implant on the market which has been gaining approval around the globe. Gummy bear implants are one of the latest in technological advances in breast augmentation. These devices have already gotten the green light in European countries as well as in Canada. American individuals are intrigued with the new devices, too.

Breast augmentation surgery continues to be one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures on the market. Many women of all ages and situations desire a fuller bustline in order to enhance their overall figure and shape.

Currently, the implants on the market are filled with either silicone or saline solutions. Saline is actually a type of salty water similar to what the human body is comprised of naturally. This is a plus for those individuals who would like to stick to more natural approaches but the saline products are reportedly a bit firmer than some individuals would hope for. The silicone products offer a softer feel which more closely resembles natural glandular tissue.

The products named after gummy bears have their pros and cons as well. The cons may include that they have a slightly firmer feel than human flesh. The pros include that they are made from a silicone material which is bound together scientifically in order to be safer in case of rupture. They are currently undergoing clinical trials in the United States of America and so far the news is positive. Gummy bear breast implants may be the next most common enhancement option around.
