Which is better: Cohesive Silicone Implants or Ideal Saline Implants?

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 AdvantagesNo 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 AdvantagesOnly saline inside for peace of mindSafety of salineNo silicone gel in the bodyClinical AdvantagesYouthful shape/contourLower capsule contracture rateHigher rupture strengthLow rupture rate

Dear Ms. Ilove2workout124,Thank you for your questions. There is no "best". Each have their benefits and limitations.Ideal implant is in between silicone and traditional normal saline as far as feel.Each filler material has it pro's and con's.The more padding (more breast tissues) the less the difference to feel.The differences between two filler materials are:Filler                     Silicone Gel             Normal SalineFeel                      Vicious                     WateryRippling/Palability Less                         MoreRupture.               Remains                   AbsorbedSize of incision.    Larger                      Smaller Mammogram        More x-rays              Less x-raysFDA Rec.

More women tend to choose
silicone breast implants due to the natural feel and appearance. Cohesive Silicone
implants are now made of a gel which are anti-leak even when cut. It
is often called “gummy-bear like”. #Silicone implants are also the preferred choice for over the muscle placement. Also, silicone
implants require a larger incision than saline, because they are pre-filled.Although, the new generation of silicone implants are far superior than those used in the past and have a
proven track record of safety, some prefer an alternative. This is where the #IdealImplant comes in. It was created
for women who are not comfortable having silicone implants in their body, but
desire a more natural feeling implant than traditional saline implants on the
market. The unique structure of the Ideal Implant allows for a similar
look and feel as silicone with the safety of #saline.Your choice of silicone or saline will also determine the incision site for which the implant is to be placed.
