I am very thin. Approx. 5 "4" 105lbs and am a B cup. I am interested in Ideal implants. My main concern is visibility and rippling. Will the ideal implant prevent that?
Answer: Will Ideal implants prevent rippling? Thank you for your question. All implants, whether saline, silicone or the newer structured ideal implants will have ripples. The only way any implant will not ripple is if it is overfilled beyond manufactures recommended fill (this also voids the warranty). One's body tissues outside an implant hide these ripples. The trade-off of ripples is an overfilled implant that is hard. If an implant is to be soft there will be ripples. This is normal. The structure design of the ideal implant minimizes tendency for ripples but can not eliminate all ripples. Ripples on an implant outside the body on a table and in the body under the muscle are two different issues. Once an implant is in the body and under the weight of the breast and muscle there is much less chance of ripples. One needs to understand the tradeoffs of an overfilled implant without ripples is significant firmness and voiding of the warranty of the implants.

Answer: Rippling of Implant Good day! For your guidance, rippling usually occurs when there is not enough tissue coverage or when the implants are excessively large, relative to the patient’s breast and breast tissues, or with textured implants placed above the breast muscle. Saline implants are generally at greater risk to develop rippling that silicone. Patients with extremely thin tissues may require adjustment of the pocket size and adding support with Acellular Dermis or other tissue substitutes (biological fabrics) can help with this. 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 Implants The baffold multi chamber design of the Ideal Implant will greatly diminish visible rippling as compared to traditional single chamber saline implants.

Answer: Will Ideal Implants prevent rippling? Thank you for your question. I have been using Ideal Structured Saline Implants for 16 months and have not seen any rippling in any of my patients. Based on the internal structure of these implants, I believe they are less likely to wrinkle than other implants on the market. Most implants tend to scallop or fold along the shoulder or edge of the implant, particularly when up against a curved platform like the chest wall. Ideal implants do not do this because of the inherent design. Regardless of the type of implant, there still my be a chance of what is called a traction wrinkle, due to the weight of the implant stretching the adjacent scar tissue capsule that forms around the implant. I hope this is helpful.Good luck.

Answer: Ideal implant The Ideal implant has almost no rippling so it is an excellent choice for someone who is thin. The baffled design of the implant prevents rippling and gives the implant a softer, more natural feel. I have been very pleased with the results. Good luck, Jane.
