I called the manufacturer they seem to have a very good warranty and even say they will compensate me up to 2400$ if it was a manufacturers defect. It seems to have been a sudden deflation one night it felt weird then it deflated a little , not fully like a normal saline breast would. Is this normal and if also has anyone felt with the warranty process? Is there any health concerns with the half full implant still in there. It feels weird I'm starting to have a slight pain near the breast bone .

Answer: Have new Ideal implant. 2 years post and one of them has ruptured. There was no trauma to breasts. Advice? Implants do have a spontaneous rupture rate of about 1% per year. It's possible you had a valve failure in one of the chambers. With the IDEAL implant it would not fully deflate because there are two chambers of saline and the likelihood that both would rupture without trauma is incredibly low. So while one of the chambers has emptied, the other is still intact and maintaining good volume. If the breast only went down a bit in size then its probably the anterior chamber that ruptured. If it's lost most, but not all of its volume, then it was probably the posterior chamber that ruptured. I'd suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to be examined and get the ruptured implant replaced. The only way to know what caused it is to remove it and have it examined by the company. Best of luck!

Answer: Warranty is good having your implant go down partially is exactly how the Ideal implant was manufactured. It has two pockets so it will never go down , or I should say rarely go down , to fully flat as normal saline would do. Usually only one of the pockets will break at a time. It’s a very good warranty. See a plastic surgeon , if you can’t see your old one ,who places these implants routinely and they can submit your warranty to the company. Good luck.
