I would love input on Ideal structured saline implant vs. Natrelle Inspira silicone gel implant safety. I thought that I would only go with saline for safety purposes, but the surgeon who I consulted with yesterday (my first consultation!) strongly felt that 4th generation silicone gel is safe and that it is better to go with a manufacturer who has been on the market for many years. What are your thoughts on the 2 implant types in general, with specific regard to safety. Thank you!!

Answer: What type of implant? These are both excellent implants with similar safety. What your doctor is recommending seems reasonable, but maybe you should consider getting a second opinion if you are still quite interested in the Ideal implant.

Answer: Ideal Structured saline implants vs Allergan Inspira implants That is a good question and it is one that I discuss with almost every patient interested in breast augmentation. Here is my take on it. 1. both are good implants that provide a 10 yr. warranty and coverage for capsular contractures. 2. In most cases, I think that either implant can provide a very pleasing result without rippling.3. The Inspira implants feel more like breast tissue, but the issue of feeling the saline implant is usually only significant in slender women with little breast or subcutaneous tissue to begin with. 4. While both implants have a good safety record, if a gel implant leaks, that rupture is often silent meaning that an MRI or other imaging study will likely be necessary to detect the leak. The FDA recommends regular screening of silicone filled implants. 5. Although Ideal has a very good track record for complications such as leakage and capsular contracture, Allergan has certainly been in the business longer and it a much larger and more established company.
