Can anyone tell me if the new Ideal Implant's outer shell is made out of the same things as the other implant shells that have been around for years? I trust Mentor's outer shell but I am really considering getting the Ideal Implant because silicone gel implants make me nervous but I want to look and feel as natural as possible. My only concern is the make up of the outer shell. If it is the same as what has been implanted for years than I'm going to go Ideal :) Thank you!
Answer: #SomeBenefitsOfIDEALimplants The outer shell is made of a similar silicone shell of Mentor and Allergan Implants. It has the benefits of a silicone like feel, better shape, less incidence of capsular contracture (5 year study data) than most saline or silicone implants. They are now FDA approved and available.

Answer: Ideal Implant Good day! For your guidance, the Ideal Implant™ is created for women who are not comfortable having silicone implants in their body, but desire a more natural feeling implant than traditional saline implants. The unique structure of the Ideal Implant allows for a similar look and feel as silicone with the safety of saline. It is best to have an in-person examination to a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with this kind of implant and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: IDEAL Implant outer shell The outer shell of the IDEAL Implant is still made out of silicone, just like every other implant currently on the market in the US. This implant is a great option for women who would prefer a saline implant, but really want the more natural feeling of a silicone gel implant. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with the IDEAL Implant to learn more about your options in detail. Best of luck!

Answer: IDEAL Implant shell is made of silicone All of the breast implant options available have an outer shell that is very similar and made of silicone. This material has been shown over and over again to be safe and durable. The real difference is in the internal structure of the device. Internal compartments limit the movement of the saline filler resulting in an implant that has an improved feel and movement compared to other saline filled devices. This is a nice improvement for women wanting breast augmentation in Canada and United States. There will be little difference in the look of a higher profile cohesive gel device compared to the same sized IDEAL Implant in most patients.

Answer: Ideal implant is made of the same materials as older types of implants, the innovation is in the way the shells are arranged Ideal implant is made of the same materials as older types of implants, the innovation is in the way the shells are arranged. It uses the same proven materials and components found in the latest generation of breast implants, but contains multiple shells arranged to make a saline implant look and feel like a silicone implant.
