Real Beauty News on Jun 19, 2008
A Dallas plastic surgeon has developed a new kind of saline implant, designed to eliminate that undesirable change of shape or "sloshing" of the saline implant when lying down.
Robert S. Hamas, MD, the inventor of the Ideal Implant, has appeared on Oprah and CNN, and is a past president of the Dallas Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Hamas is recruiting patients interested in saline breast implants in the Dallas area for the FDA clinical trials on his website, idealimplants.com.

I'm curious as to whether these new implants will potentially extend the life of the implants. There's been some press lately about patients not realizing (not being told by their physicians--?) that implants are not necessarily a one-shot deal and that getting them in your twenties may mean a few more visits over a lifetime to replace them.

I am very curious about this also. It seems to make sense that they would last longer... I never realized how many women have to have more than one surgery because TONS of implants end up rupturing!
