How noticeable are the edges in the Ideal Implant?

ThebabewiththepowerMay 19, 2022
Hello. I am scheduled for a breast augmentation next week and I chose the Ideal implant. I understand that I will be able to feel the edges.

Thank you

Ideal Implants are great. For women with small breasts and not too much soft tissue coverage, i recommend placing the implant in a submuscular position. The Ideal Implants can be a little palpable and more closely resemble a high profile implant. Good luck.
