Ideal implants or silicone? Do ideal implants really feel as soft as silicone or are silicone implants much better feeling?

Question

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Ideal implants do tend to feel more natural than previous types of saline implants, and more like silicone gel implants. However there are a number of things contributing to how implants feel, such as tissue coverage,over vs under muscle, and size.

Ronald Schuster, MD · Answer

Ideal implants feel very close to silicone gel implants. In patients who already have some breast tissue or subcutaneous fat they feel the same. In real thin patients gel might have the edge but they still perform better than traditional saline.

Paul J. Leahy, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I think you really have to go visit your plastic surgeon's office and feel the differences in person. I do, personally, think the silicone implants are a bit softer in feel; however, the IDEAL implants have some significant advantages of their own. You really need to consider the pros and cons, then make the best decision for you.
