I read a lot about the Ideal implant but i can't find information or experiences regarding filling percentage. What filling percentage feels most natural, "ful" or 100%? Is the change of rippling and/or folding higher when its filled only to "full"(85-90%) ? When is the implant more palpable, when filled 100% or when filled less than 100%? In what case would one choose for 'full' and in what case for 100% ? These questions are specifically for the Ideal breast implant, not other saline implants!

Answer: How much to fill the Ideal implant The answer to this will largely depend on your inherent tissue characteristics, how much native breast tissue you have and the look your are trying to achieve. When placed under the muscle with a normal amount of SQ fat and at least a B cup size volume, I usually fill to 100%- if my patient desires just a touch more projection and roundness. If I want the implant to hug the contours of the rib cage better, so no side shelf of implant felt ,I will fill to full.. Remember though, volume differences are just in tablespoon(s) range, so this isn't a huge decision to make.

Answer: Ideal implant filling The ideal implant has two compartments; the front and back compartments; the back is filled to a set amount; the front compartment has some give and has a range of fill volumes; Traditionally speaking, I think that 80% of full volume will provide adequate volume to prevent rippling yet not be too firm and thus soft in feel like a silicone implant.
