Hi RS! Ive been looking to get breast implants for about a yr now. Doing tons of research I think saline will be better for me for health reasons. What are your thoughts on ideal? Cons to ideal? Sounds a little too good to be true.. A nurse pointed out to me that since these are so new, no one knows if they will succeed and stay in business so if something were to happen, there would be no warranty. Have also heard another doc say after working w them he prefers Reg saline. Anything helps Thanks!

Answer: Cons to IDEAL implant? To good to be true..? At this point the IDEAL implant has been working great for patients that choose it. The longterm viability of the company is certainly less guaranteed than Allergan or Mentor, but at the rate these implants have been gaining market share that should not be an issue. The reason that your PS prefers traditional saline is because there is one port rather than 2, so they can be filled a bit faster and therefore the profit margin is a bit higher on regular saline. IDEAL implants also have a bit of a learning curve for sizing them as they are measured slightly different than other implants. On the patient side, the only downside is that they don't feel quite as soft as silicone, however they are MUCH softer and more breast-like than traditional saline. Hope that helps!

Answer: Ideal Implant Good day! The Ideal Implant™ was recently FDA approved and is now being offered at our facility, Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery Newport Beach. Some women are not comfortable having silicone implants in their body and that was one of the reasons why the Ideal Implant was created. This implant gives a more natural feeling 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. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has already performed procedure with this implant and discuss realistic goals and expectations. #RealSelf100

Answer: Any cons to IDEAL implant? There are not any cons that I can think of. I think the technology in the IDEAL implant with its multiple shells, or baffles, is a good step forward for saline implants. It does feel much better than the traditional saline implants and effectively reduces the feeling of the saline sloshing back and forth. There is a warranty for rupture through the company. Best of luck!
