I don't see much before and after photos or anybody posting about Ideal implants. Since they cost more, do you feel they are worth the money? I want saline and I am very active so one of my concerns was that the older saline implant may have that swooshing feeling and might bother me during my work outs. Does the Ideal implant really have less movement? I would love to here more from people who actually have the Ideal implant. Are more people starting to choose these as I read they are new?

Answer: Are IDEAL Implants better? I believe that if someone wants saline implants, then the IDEAL implant is definitely the way to go. They feel more like silicone implants than traditional saline implants, and in general they have less visible rippling. As you point out, some traditional saline implants have the feeling of a water moving back and forth. This is essentially eliminated with the IDEAL implant because it has multiple lumens inside the implant which prevent the saline from sloshing back and forth. The initial data from the company suggests that the IDEAL implant has a lower rate of capsular contracture compared to other implant brands. Another pro is that this implant is only sold to Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. I definitely think it is worth the added expense because you are paying for a significantly different type of implant with much newer technology than traditional saline.

Answer: IDEAL Implant Natural feel is not the only thing women care about. The FDA approved intact silicone gel implants as safe. However, if a gel implant ruptures the implant and any gel should be removed including the surrounding capsule (capsulectomy). IDEAL® IMPLANT offers women natural feel without the risk of silent rupture. Women value the advantages of IDEAL® IMPLANT over silicone gel:Rupture AdvantagesNo silent rupturesSaline absorbed, free Silicone Gel remainsNo MRI needed to detect rupturesLook in the mirror to know implants are intactEasy to remove and replaced if rupturedFiller AdvantagesOnly saline inside for peace of mindSafety of salineNo silicone gel in the bodyClinical AdvantagesYouthful shape/contourLower capsule contracture rateHigher rupture strengthLow rupture rate
