2 years ago on September 15, 2016, I received the IDEAL implants. I wanted to pop on here and give an updated review really quick.
I am still extremely pleased with my decision to get them done. Just like in my 4 month post review however, I still wish they were a little smaller, but overall I am really happy with them. I love how natural they look and feel. I love how they are saline. I love their shape and I love that no one knows until I tell them! The scar has healed really well also.
Highly recommend them! One day when I get them re-done, I will probably go slightly smaller and also have them look a tiny bit faker as some days I feel like they make me look top heavy.
If I ever get into the shape I want to (abs, toned, muscular) I’ll need to take more photos and see if I still look proportionate. It’s seriously so awesome that people have no clue they are fake. Dr. Yates from Utah did such a good job!

They really do look real! I think the size looks proportionate to your frame though. What size are they and what are your measurements? I really think Im going with Ideal as well.

Very realistic. Sometimes too real, like gross big boobs. Haha I have good days and bad days with them. No one who has seen them thought they were fake so at least I carry them well. They are 430 and 455cc. I wear a 32DDD

I m 5 weeks now. I have second thought maybe next time I do silicone instead lol. I like it softer and more durable and round fake a bit. I have been watching breast implant illness just randomly cross my YouTube and I m afraid

Hi! I have the ideal implants too. I am taller and have the 440’s—I also have a bwd of 13 cm and 14 cm tho.
It has been six months and they seem pretty firm when lying on my back. I hate it. Do your breasts still feel firm on your back? If not—when did they soften?? Thanks:)

I have ideal implant too . It feel firm on the back as well and I found out that it s because it s saline inside it. My friend has silicone she feel fine and flexible. So I think next time if this one not good I change to silicone

I think you look great! I am scheduled for ideal implants soon and very nervous about it!

You really have! This is a tough decision to make and I fall in the same boat that I want to go big enough that I don't feel like I wasted money. It's tough, my surgeon has been very helpful and basically told me he won't go any bigger than the 370 implant because that is what will fit my measurements
January 22, 2017
I think it's great when surgeons put their foot down on a specific size. I kind of wish mine did! But I'm happy with my size when I'm clothed. Perhaps if I had gone the size down I would have had to supplement them with a bra, which I knew I didn't want. The more and more I think about it, the more I understand why I made the decision I made. Even though I still think they might be a little too big. I'm glad I've helped! That makes all of my research and time writing worth something! Happy to help ^^

Wow!!! I think you look amazing!!!!! :) not like cow udders at all, silly girl xD I absolutely love the shape... And sorry, I know this sounds weird, but I'm jealous of your nipples. They are lovely!!!
March 16, 2017
Haha thanks! I have always liked the shape of my nipples ^^ haven't seen too many in my life time but from what I have seen mine are really cute! Haha
I have definitely grown a little more into liking my breast size. It's one of those things where some days I love them and some I feel like a cow. Haha

I totally know what you mean :)) haha they are VERY CUTE, indeed :) you are blessed, m'lady.
Also how are your implants in terms of squishiness? I found that my Ideal Implants have really turned more squishy now at 6 months... They were soft around 3 months, but when I would lay on my back they would still feel firm. I am finally at a point where they feel real to me. (They felt real before, but only like a "real" firm breast. Which isn't what I wanted

I am just passed the 6 month mark myself and I feel they are much much softer at this point. Of course I can still feel the implant but it's not as firm as it used to be. I wonder if they'll get softer or if they'll stay like this. Only time will tell =^^=

Hi shinjujan, I think your breast look great! Also, your review is very informative, thank you for that. :) So I'm beginning to look into breast augmentation and I'm curious to know if your ideal implants are high profile, moderate profile, or are low profile?
May 7, 2017
The ideal implants only come in ONE profile unfortunately, which is high. I wouldn't have preferred moderate-high. But, it's all worked out alright.
March 25, 2017
You look fantastic! Are they under the muscle or above?
April 24, 2017
They look awesome! I'm getting ideals soon! :)

My REAL Thoughts of the IDEAL Implant 4 Months Post Op *Updated Photos*
Today marks 4 months post operation. Since day one they have felt like a natural part of my body and I am so happy I have them! I could be happier, but I’ll get to that in a little bit. No balance issues, back pain or difficulty doing anything. I did experience slight pain in the left side when pushing or pulling anything, but that healed completely in 3 months. Their shape is delightful when my arms are at the side, however I do see some slight double bubbling occur when my left arm is raised. You’d think after all the research and time I spent weighing all my options and categorizing all the pros and cons I would have avoided the so-feared and dreaded double bubble.
I have a lot of things to say to those of you who want to get implants and I hope my words can help you make better decision about your breast implants.
First and foremost, trust your PS. If you’ve chosen a surgeon I would hope you have complete confidence in their skill and ability, so be sure to trust in their judgement as well. Dr. York Yates is an incredible surgeon that I traveled almost a 1000 miles to have and I regret not going with the implant size he first recommended to me. I thought I knew better about what I wanted than he did, which leads me to my next point.
Second thing, do as much research as possible before getting your breasts done. Be as educated as you feel necessary. But do not walk into the office for your consultation with a specific size in mind. I thought after all the research I did and all the pictures I looked at, I needed at LEAST a 400cc to reach the desired fullness and size I wanted. So when I heard the number 370cc leave his lips I felt a tinge of sadness. I focused so much on a single stupid number, rather than focusing on something that mattered so much more to me. Now this leads me into my last point.
Finally, remember what your greatest fear is about the implant. For me, it was a toss-up between always thinking “I wish I went bigger” and ending up with an obvious “double bubble”. The biggest complaint people have with breast implants is wishing they went bigger and I didn’t want that to be me. If I was going to get them done, I wanted to do it right the first time. I also didn’t want to have a double bubble, which only occurs when you go outside your natural breast width diameter (bwd). When you can see your real breast above and on top of your implant. So I was juggling between wanting to go big enough to never feel like I made the wrong choice, and small enough so a double bubble couldn’t occur. I ended up with a double bubble because I went too big. Again because I thought I knew best. Let me show you the statistics I couldn’t see because I was blinded by that damn number…
IDEAL Implant. I am a 12.0cm bwd in both breasts. My left breast is significantly smaller than the right and requires a different size implant.
370cc fits in an 11.8cm bwd
405cc fits in a 12.0cm bwd
440cc fits in a 12.5cm bwd
There’s a chart online you can find with all this information for the different sizes.
370cc originally for my larger right side and 405cc in my left. This would have fit my bwd almost perfectly. Dr. Yates knew what he was doing! I didn’t even notice the bwd importance, all I could hear are numbers. The crease of my left side needed to be lowered, so the risk of a double bubble was already there. I might have avoided it completely if I had just gone with the correct bwd implant. Instead I went with 405cc in my right and 440 in my left. A .5cm wider implant.
When deciding on the size I wanted to go, I did not bother to look back at the bwd. I almost left the office that day with the original recommendation but I had two things on my mind causing me anxiety and agitation. The first thing was actually the 3D vector image. I thought my breasts looked too small and frankly scary. I wish I had never seen that! Haha The sizers worked much better for me than that freaky little 3D Vector image of my boobies. The second thing was of course the number 400cc… I couldn’t leave feeling so much doubt, so I turned around and had the office order me the size up and I actually felt really good about it. Looking back I realize I shouldn’t have relied so much on how I “felt” but instead rely on the stats, the bwd number. I normally rely on stats and logic, so looking back I am just annoyed at myself for not being true to who I am, to let me feelings make that decision for me is such a disappointment, so much I can’t explain it.
The next morning I went in for surgery, was measured one last time to see if the larger implants would work, and Dr. Yates said he could do it. I should have stopped him there and asked, “Will I get the results I want if I go with that larger size, I want breasts that fit within my frame that are large and full, with no risk of double bubbling?” And then reinforce my inspiration photo. Because I have a feeling he would say, they won’t look like that photo they will be bigger and we are going outside your natural breast diameter, so the risk of a double bubble is definitely there. And that would have been the moment I would have realized we needed to go with the smaller size.
This is on me. Not on Dr. Yates, he did everything I asked and what I asked for was the wrong thing. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting them redone to that smaller size. But I can’t justify it yet. I haven’t emailed him asking for a quote or anything yet either. I hope to stick it out for another year, work really hard on getting into great shape, maybe with an increase of muscle mass I’ll feel like they look more proportion to my body. I have gained about 8-10 lbs since surgery so maybe I just feel pudgy and top heavy. Sometimes they remind me of big ol’ utters, which is just scary. I feel more confident with clothes on than without. But again maybe that has to do with the weight gain. Regardless, I can tell you this is really how I feel about my IDEAL implants 4 months post operation.
Let me know what you think. Are they too big? Do you think the double bubble/size is worth another surgery?

I think they look great! They are a larger implant but I don't think worth getting redone for size. They look big but not overly too big for you! I don't notice a "double bubble" in any of the pics. Maybe the one with your arms up is just effecting the position of the implant giving you that illusion?
Thank you for sharing your story and all your experience! It's been a great help in this journey!

Thank you for the feedback! I'm happy to hear sharing my experience and story has helped with your journey.

I really loved how you laid out your thoughts. I also had Ideal Implants placed in Kirkland Wa by a fabulous female plastic surgeon. Like you I saw another surgeon and was actually booked to have the surgery with him. However as you can see if you look at my stats I am not tall and don't weigh much. However he measured my breast width at 12cm and told me he would not be comfortable putting anything smaller than a 430cc Ideal Implant!!! I was thinking 300 325 max for my size. Everything about that number seemed wrong to me so I had another consultation and I received right side 290cc Implant and 295 left. I could not be happier and would have hated those large boobs that make gals look too heavy. I think yours still look very nice and I love my Ideal Implants. Always go with your non emotion based gut instinct.
March 16, 2017
Yeah I totally agree. I think that size suits you really frame better. I can definitely get away with this larger size on my frame. But I would have been happy with the size down too. I think in the end, the 50cc or so difference between both sizes isn't too much to worry about. I have grown more to liking the size I ended up with ^^

I recently got the 335 and 370 Ideal implants. What cc did you get each filled to for yours? My 370 wasn't filled as much as the 335 so they feel different as one is firmer.

Hi :) Could you tell me your height? Thanks!
Like it s a tad bigger
