They’re ta-tas 2.0.
A famed Long Island plastic surgeon has helped usher in a new generation of breast implants, dubbed “gummy bears,” because they feel like the candy.
The implants — less mushy and leaky than their predecessors — were approved by the FDA in March, thanks in part to a study conducted by Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh of the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group of Garden City.
“They’re just lovely,” said Kathy O’Mahoney, 32, of Queens. “They actually fit to the shape of my breast and they look natural. They just don’t look fake at all.”
Unlike first generation implants that were all spherically shaped, “the gummy bear” model produced by the Sientra company of California is anatomically fitted to each individual patient.
