THE PROS AND CONS OF DIFFERENT BREAST IMPLANTS

December 3, 2025

Dr. Matteo Vigo commonly treats patients in the Dubai region with breast augmentation. Breast augmentation in Dubai is a cosmetic surgery procedure that uses implants to enhance the size and contour of the bustline.

Planning a breast augmentation procedure with a cosmetic surgeon presents several options for women. The implant type (filling substance) and size are two of the most important decisions.

For these decisions, there are several choices available. Which is best for you, then?

So, how about we examine some options?

Breast Implant Size (Large vs. Natural)

To make their breasts bigger is one of the main reasons people receive breast implants. Many women end up getting big breast implants as a result. When it comes to expanding breast size, large breast implants may make a significant difference.

However, a common question among patients contemplating breast augmentation is, “Is bigger always better when it comes to breast implants?”

Let’s examine the advantages and disadvantages of obtaining huge breast implants to respond to that query.

The Advantages Of Getting Large Breast Implants

Larger breast implants significantly alter your overall appearance.

Large breast implants accentuate the bustline’s general shape and accentuate the body’s other features, including the hips, waist, and buttocks. Large breast implants are a certain technique to give a patient an hourglass appearance.

Large breast implants often result in high patient satisfaction, although the outcome varies depending on the patient’s aesthetic preferences.

The Disadvantages Of Getting Large Breast Implants

But bigger isn’t necessarily better.

Some patients may consider large breast implants strange due to their body type or the size of the implants themselves. In some situations, the breast implants may obscure the rest of the patient’s body rather than enhancing their appearance.

Additionally, large breast implants are more likely to burst. To address aesthetic concerns and general well-being, leaks must be fixed as soon as feasible.

Additionally, large breast implants are more likely to need revision or correction surgery in the future. This is especially true when bottoming out is involved. A situation known as “bottoming out” occurs when the breast implants sag beneath the formed breast pocket, giving the undersides of the breasts an unnatural and unsightly look.

Breast Implant Shape And Profile

Implant size is only one aspect of breast enlargement surgery Dubai.

Although the size of the implants is undoubtedly a significant factor, the profile of the breast implant can also have a significant impact. The amount of outward protrusion from the implants is referred to as the breast implant profile. A patient may benefit more from a high-profile breast implant than from a big, moderate-profile breast implant.

Another crucial factor to take into account is the breast implants’ form. Compared to round breast implants, teardrop-shaped breast implants can significantly improve overall attractiveness in ways that size alone cannot.

It’s critical to consider the entire body shape and aesthetics when performing breast augmentation surgery. Large breast implants might not be appropriate for a woman’s cosmetic objectives if she has a smaller or more delicate frame.

Better outcomes can be achieved by taking into account how the breast implants will enhance the patient’s figure rather than take center stage.

Breast Implant Filling Material

There are several filler materials for breast implants Dubai. Saline, conventional silicone, and gummy bear implants are the most popular.

Sterile saline (saltwater solution) is used to fill saline implants. A thick, cohesive silicone gel makes up silicone implants. Both of these choices have existed for many years.

But when it comes to breast implants, a more recent alternative is beginning to take the lead. These implants are gummy bears.

Understanding Gummy Bear Implants

Ultra-cohesive silicone gel implants are known as gummy bear implants. Several other nations successfully used them for breast augmentation before the FDA authorized them.

Comparing these implants to saline and conventional silicone implants, however, reveals both benefits and drawbacks. Dr. Vigo believes that patients should fully understand the benefits and potential risks of cosmetic breast surgery Dubai before making a life-altering decision.

So, are you a suitable candidate for gummy bear breast implants?

Meeting with Dr. Vigo at his cutting-edge office is the most reliable method to find out. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of gummy bear implants until then.

The Advantages Of Gummy Bear Implants

Compared to their more conventional counterparts, gummy bear breast implants provide several benefits, such as:

• They hold their shape: Ultra-cohesive silicone gel holds its shape over time, in contrast to saline and regular silicone. Their term comes from the fact that breast implants packed with this gel have a consistency akin to gummy bears.
• They don’t leak: The ultra-cohesive silicone gel is the only filler that won’t leak out if the implant shell cracks, which is likely to happen eventually.
• They have a lower chance of causing capsular contracture: Any breast augmentation treatment has the risk of capsular contracture, when a rigid layer of scar tissue develops around the implant. However, compared to other types of breast implants, the evidence gathered on gummy bear breast implants thus far indicates that they are less likely to cause capsular contracture.
• They are less prone to ripple or fold.

The Disadvantages Of Gummy Bear Implants

For a variety of reasons, many women still choose traditional silicone gel implants, even though gummy bear breast implants have grown in popularity since the FDA authorized them. The following are some drawbacks of gummy bear breast implants:

• Compared to conventional silicone gel implants, they are more costly: Although we make every effort to provide fair pricing for all of our operations, gummy bear implants are more costly than regular silicone gel implants; the least priced alternative is saline-filled implants.
• Unlike genuine breast tissue, they don’t move: Gummy bear implants don’t move or shift as real breast tissue would, since they hold their form so effectively. Gummy bear implants, for instance, will maintain their form when a woman stands up, while real breast tissue will change when she lies down.
• They necessitate a lengthier cut: Saline-filled implants require the least amount of incision, whereas typical silicone gel implants require a little larger incision.
• They are only offered in “teardrop”-shaped anatomical forms: Gummy bear implants are only available in anatomical forms, meaning they protrude more toward the bottom of the implant than the top, in contrast to conventional silicone gel implants. Only further surgery is necessary to fix a gummy bear implant that occasionally spins.
