A Miami, Florida, woman decides to get “gummy bear” breast implants in 2021. However, she discovers that her surgery didn’t go as agreed after she gets into a car accident.
In a video with over 288,000 views, TikToker Sanadamarie (@sanadamarie) explains that she became determined to get her breasts done in 2021. She says she wanted them smaller and more lifted, but liked the look of implants.
So, she calls the plastic surgery center she was a prior patient of on a Friday. She schedules her surgery for the following Monday.
“They kept saying, ‘Oh, we can use your fat and we can just make them sit up.’ But I knew that in order to get the look that I wanted, I was going to have to get implants,” she says. In some cases, surgeons may suggest a breast lift with a fat transfer instead of implants, which are commonly made of silicone or saline, per the Cleveland Clinic.
Instead, the TikToker requests gummy bear implants. These implants are made of silicone gel that mimics the density and feel of a gummy bear. According to Healthline, gummy bear implants may hold their shape better and appear more natural.
For four years after the surgery, she says she was under the impression that she received breast implants. However, a CAT scan after an accident reveals the truth.
Did she actually have gummy bear implants?
The TikToker says she got into a serious car accident, which required her to get a full-body CAT scan to check for internal injuries. The doctor asks her if she has any implants, and she tells them about her previous plastic surgery.
A few days later, the doctor called her to say they didn’t see the implants on the CAT scan. They worry that something might be wrong with the machine.
“I’m not thinking too much into it,” she says. However, she goes back to the doctor for another scan.
“Come to find out, I don’t have 300cc gummy bears at all,” she says.
How did viewers react to her discovery?
In the comments, viewers suggest the TikToker seek legal advice.
“Get a copy of the surgery report from when you had them put in. There should be every single detail in there including a list of all the tools and what exactly they implanted. I’m pretty several people sign off on it,” a commenter says.
“Sue for malpractice and a product you didn’t pay for you were scammed you paid for gummy implants and were charged for a different type of implant that were cheap and wasnt the full expensive price you paid and the pain you felt was from the wrong implants,” another suggests.
In a follow-up video, Sanadamarie says that when she received her implants in 2021, she received an implant card with their serial number and the doctor’s name.
She says she has hired a lawyer, whom she has given all of her scans and surgical paperwork to. While the doctor who performed her surgery no longer works at the surgery center, she says her lawyer reached out to him.
“Girl he still haven’t responded back yet my lawyer is filing all kinds of stuff so i’ll literally have to see him in court,” she writes in a comment.
Some say they’ve experienced similarly misleading plastic surgeries.
“I went thru something similar I paid for bbl and I only got lipo and I had incisions on my back area but when I went for round 2 doctors said I couldn’t have received no bbl from the incisions I had,” one writes.
