I would like to get implants but want my implants to look as real and natural as possible. I thought about going with a teardrop implant but I don't like the idea of a textured implant. I can't find any pictures of the new 'IDEAL IMPLANT' and wondered about experiences, advice, opinions, photos anyone can share?
Answer: IDEAL Thanks for your question. The IDEAL implant is a big improvement over other saline implants. While close, it is not as natural feeling as a silicone implant. The major benefit over silicone, however, is not needing follow up MRIs for detection of rupture. I suggest you meet with a reputable board certified Plastic Surgeon for an exam and to discuss your options. Good luck!

Answer: Ideal Implant Good day! For your guidance, the Ideal Implant™ is recently FDA approved and is now being offered at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery Newport Beach. This type of implant was created for women who desire a more natural feeling implant than traditional saline implants but are not comfortable having silicone implants in their body. The unique structure of the Ideal Implant allows for a similar look and feel as silicone with the safety of saline. It requires no monitoring, has no known association with any health conditions and has the lowest rate of rupture of any implant. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with ideal implant and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: What is the iDEAL Implant? Natural feel is not the only thing women care about. The FDA approved intact silicone gel implants as safe. However, if a gel implant ruptures the implant and any gel should be removed including the surrounding capsule (capsulectomy). IDEAL® IMPLANT offers women natural feel without the risk of silent rupture. Women value the advantages of IDEAL® IMPLANT over silicone gel: Rupture Advantages No silent rupturesSaline absorbed, free Silicone Gel remainsNo MRI needed to detect rupturesLook in the mirror to know implants are intactEasy to remove and replaced if rupturedFiller Advantages Only saline inside for peace of mindSafety of salineNo silicone gel in the bodyClinical Advantages Youthful shape/contourLower capsule contracture rateHigher rupture strengthLow rupture rate

Answer: Ideal Implants Thank you for your question regarding the new FDA approved IDEAL structured breast implants. I have been offering the IDEAl structured implants along with saline and silicone gel to my patients for the past year or so. Patients who opt for the IDEAL implant like the natural look and feel of the implant due to the structure but without the concern of a silent rupture that may occur with silicone implants. The results so far have been impressive. Feel free to contact our office if you'd like to see some of our Before & After pictures of patients with IDEAL implants. You can also go to the company website for more information and physician locator. Only a select number of board certified plastic surgeons are approved to provide the implants at this time, but I suspect this number will increase over time. I hope this helps.

Answer: Revolutionary Design, Natural Results I have been using Ideal Implants for breast augmentation for over a year now and have been quite pleased with the results. They appear and feel as natural as gel implants and represent an excellent alternative to the Silicone or Saline breast implants. The secret is in the design of these implants, which have a double lumen and inner baffles which serve to dampen the motion of the saline fill- creating a soft, natural, flowing implant. Also, since the Ideal Implant is a “structured” implant design, they tend to resist the natural tendency of an implant to ripple and cave in the superior pole. The teardrop implants tend to rotate in the pocket, which requires re-operation to correct. Also, they only come in a textured surface, which is generally thicker and less natural feeling. Finally, textured implants are also associated with increased infection rates and the rare Breast Implant Associated Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I hope that I have answered your questions satisfactorily. Good Luck!
