Today, I saw a breast augmentation patient in my Denver practice who has had multiple capsular contractions.

Gummy Bear Implants: The Same, but Different

UPDATE: For additional information on breast augmentation and breast implants in Denver, see this more recent blog post. Patients occasionally ask us about "gummy bear" implants: what are they? Are they safer? Are they better? Can I have them? Should I have them? It's normal to want the latest, greatest thing—after all, Americans are hot for innovation, and …
