(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Breast implants remain the number one cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States.
Now, there's something new for women that some believe is not only safer, but more natural looking--the newly approved 'gummy-bear' implant.
It's a longer-lasting gel, made to have less wrinkling.
Right now, only one company--Sientra--has FDA approval to make them.
Five-year follow-up studies show the product is both safe and effective.
