Hello. I’m 13 months post surgery. About a month ago I stared noticing my right implant was feeling a little different, like there was an air bubble in it. Now I can feel the edge of the implant. Could this be a sign of rupture? I have Ideal implants 490ccs.
Answer: Possible deflation Thanks for your question! Without seeing you before photos and seeing you in person, it would be hard to determine if you had a deflation. If you did not have a size discrepancy beforehand, then you may have a partial deflation. I would suggest seeking out an in-person evaluation. Good luck!

Answer: Possible rupture This is a good question. Ideal implants are structured saline implants. The outer shell is made of silicone but it the implant itself is filled with saline. This means if the implant(s) ruptures, you would notice it right away since your breast will deflate and get smaller. Ideal implants have more structure than a typical saline implant, so you may feel the outer shell of the implant. It appears one side is smaller than the other, so this is a possibility. It is important to go to your plastic surgeon who did your surgery to discuss this.

Answer: Implant rupture Yes, the implant could have ruptured. With Ideal Implants, they may not fully deflate, so it would be best to make an appointment with your surgeon to evaluate it in person. If it's deflated, then you will need to replace it, but there are warranties in place to help offset some of the cost. Best of luck!

Answer: Implants With ruptures, most saline implants loose volume rather quickly. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and being examined. Ideal implants are still saline implants and still can be felt through and under your breast tissue.
