How common is breast implant illness in patients with Ideal implants?

Nice259016Jan 19, 2023
I am considering a breast augmentation procedure using Ideal Implants. However, I am concerned about the rate of Breast Implant Illness in patients with this type of implant. Specifically, has it been reported by any patients? If so, how does the number of reports of BII compare to those with other implant types? I have yet to find any published studies involving Ideal implants and BII. Any information would be appreciated.

I have been using the Ideal implants since they were first available. They are very good and my patients have been extremely happy with the results. However, i do not think they are good for all women. I think you will run a risk of being able to feel them too much at the inframammary crease....

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.

The Ideal implant is now available. After a long hiatus due to operational issues they are back. I have been using them since they were first available and am eager to resume.
