Update March 2016

$6,900
Saw the doctor and I still have severe scalloping and rippling. Dr sent an email to CEO about replacement or reimbursement for the NOT so "ideal" implants but told me he highly doubts ideal will do anything about it. Said he could do another surgery but it's pointless and plus it would come out of my pocket.

Hello. I am just reading your posts. I am SO SORRY to hear about your experience! I am looking to get Ideal Implants this month! Have you had any luck with getting a resolution to your issues?
Hello, I am so sorry you are going through this. I am looking into breast augmentation in the near future and was considering ideal implants with dr. Barber! Do you have any suggestions?? I am very nervous after reading this! Meanwhile, I hope this gets resolved for you! I can't imagine going through all of this to not be happy!

Ideal Implants Suck

I feel like I have lost breast mass and also STILL have the bumps and rippling. The dr said don't worry about it!!! I paid $6900 I am and WILL worry about it!!

Your Dr. just told you to 'not worry'? No suggestions a possible solution?? Unacceptable.
Exactly!! I contacted ideal implant today and Dr Hamas the CEO of ideal implants emailed me back and just said ok who's your doctor? So I'm hoping something will get accomplished and ideal will pay for new implants and surgical procedure.
Good for you! Please keep us posted. Having just gone through a revision, I know even the idea of doing it is scary. I'm Sorry you're going through this.
They are horribly uneven and are not perky almost like they sag. I compared the pics tonight and I'm so upset. I really hope someone does something. This site is not the "ideal" implant if you ask me and definitely not worth the money! It was 2k just for the implants. I will def keep an update!!
I had a very similar looking problem "double bubble"? after having saline implants put in, in 1999. I think one of the implant pockets wasn't formed right or was too high? The doctor that did my original surgery did a revision and fixed the problem in 2003. He waived the surgeons fee and I I paid the rest. SO it was about 1/2 off. I also had slightly larger saline implants put in during that revision surgery. And my boobs looked perfect! But after breastfeeding 4 kids I need a lift and to replace my implants before I get an unexpected flat. I am seriously considering getting the ideal implants because I like how they feel more like silicone, but without the risk of silent rupture. From your picture it looks like it's something the surgeon didn't do right but won't owe up too. If your surgeon is blowing you off I would continue on your current path and see if this guy will come around. Or find another surgeon who can fix the other guys mistake. Good Luck!
You see how one is more rounded and higher than the other?? :-/ I see my surgeon in March so I'll update everyone about what he will do to fix it. I know ideal has a warranty if anything happens or goes wrong with the implants than ideal replaces the implants for free and sometimes outs 1800$ towards the surgery expense. Idk what's gonna happen but I'm really upset. The implants also move around a lot and it's uncomfortable at times. I don't think a breast should shift completely to one side? I mean a little shifting but these MOVE.
I'm sorry this has been such a bad experience for you.
