IDEAL Implant goes out of business

WORTH IT$9,100
Well such is life. After 6 years I'm having to go under the knife again as my right breast implant deflated. I have the warranty so I figured it wouldn't be THAT costly. But noooo..... the freaken company folded a few weeks prior. No longer honoring any warranty. So now I get to redo this at my cost. Not a happy camper!! The reason I went with IDEAL is because being a structured implant it would be more like silicone. So now, I'm looking at going with silicone. I just don't think regular saline will work for me because I have very little breast issue and I'm afraid the implant will be visible.

My left implant recently deflated in the outer chamber or lumen, and I too consulted my paperwork and expected to be told, "yeah we'll just slip out the bad one and slip in a new one." I was shocked when my Dr said the company was no longer in business. So, yeah I'm having to get replacements (going to do both even though one of them is fine) at my expense. My doctor is offering his services for free though; I'm only paying for the new implants. I sympathize with your frustration. I'm definitely disappointed and frustrated too.

Hey girl, my ideal implants were only 2 years old so my dr dr medalie in beechwood replaced mine with silicone 1 week ago today, no surgical fee I only paid for implants and he did the procedure in office! So no getting put under, now I have new implants with a new warranty, yes it sucked buying new implants but better safe then sorry. Good luck to you

First the dislikes: my breasts sit differently because of my scoliosis. I wish they were both sitting evenly what what are ya to do. I think this is also what causes my left breast to fall to the side when laying down.
Second dislike. I still need to find bras that I like. Something that does not dig into my ribs.
Overall I’m satisfied with my BA. I’m happy with the size. Tops fit now! I can wear corset tops without a huge padded bra that I have to keep pulling up. I have zero issues working out. They are firm but soft. Hubs likes them ???????? All is good.

I’m so sorry to point this out because I still think they look good but your left side has Capsular contraction

Also if they’re not perfect before hand all that you’re going to get with just putting implants in is the exact same boobs you have only bigger which is what they told me before mine so if one side was bigger or set lower then afterwards it will be the same thing

Nope. I don’t have CC. Both breasts are soft and move around nicely. I have slight lateral displacement on the left. No biggie.

They look great. I'm about your size in height/weight. Getting mine done in 3 wks, 2 1/2 days. I'm nervous about the size. Will it be too big or not big enough? Common concern I'm sure. I didn't see any mention of what size you had gone with. Do you mind sharing? As it stands now, I'm going with the size 405cc Ideal with a 425 +/- fill. I just don't want to go through all this and end up too small. I certainly also want to look natural.

Any updates?

Hello! I think your natural breast were beautiful. When you get implants they all have the same shape/look as everyone that has a BA. Also now you have to worry about future surgeries/exchange.
