Gaara is allowed to keep the sand because of his mother somehow.. he was given the Sand due to Shukaku but he keeps it because his mom.. that and the fact he was literally being matured in her womb already being a jinchuriki.. he kind of was BORN with Shukaku's powers. Naruto may always keep his healing factor since he was being given Kurama chakra by Kurama while he was in Kushina's womb apparently.. hence him being born with whiskers, but if he loses the other 8 tailed beasts he will NOT keep what he got from them because he was not born with them in him or given them at birth.
