Do You Know About Ideal Implants?
- Posted on: Feb 28 2021
Some of Dr. Amirlak’s patients who come in for a breast augmentation consultation feel they’re a little stuck with one of the decisions they need to make. They’ve heard that the feel of silicone implants is more akin to that of natural breast tissue, but they worry about silent rupture. When a silicone implant ruptures, there is no way to know, except through an MRI. These women would rather have saline implants, but don’t like the potential wrinkles and creases, and unnatural feel of saline implants.
But there is another option that you may not have heard of — Ideal Implants. Ideal Implants are saline implants, but they feel more like silicone. These implants are made with a unique method that gives them a natural feel and youthful look, without using silicone gel. Ideal Implants have undergone 10 years of development, testing, and refinement and were approved by the FDA in 2014.
Saline that feels natural
The Ideal Implant was designed specifically for women who weren’t interested in silicone implants but didn’t like the feel of saline. The innovative design is the key. A series of implant shells are nested together, and two separate chambers hold the saline solution. The unique internal structure controls movement of the saline for a more natural feel, while reducing folding and wrinkling, which is thought to be the main cause of saline implant rupture and deflation. On the outside of these implants the edges have been lowered for a more natural contouring to the chest wall.
Proven materials. Stringent manufacturing processes.
The Ideal Implant is a structured breast implant whose design is unique. It is made from safe and proven breast implant materials, and they contain no silicone gel or new untested materials. The Ideal Implant is made using advanced robotics to achieve greater product consistency.
The advantages of the Ideal Implant
No woman likes the nagging concern of the possible rupture of a silicone implant. The Ideal Implant offers many of the benefits of saline and silicone gel implants without some of the drawbacks:
- Youthful shape and natural feel
- Filled with saline that is safely absorbed by the body if rupture occurs
- No sticky silicone gel from ruptured implants in surrounding tissues
- No silent rupture — you’ll know if your implants are intact
- Lower rupture rate and higher rupture strength
- Requires a smaller incision than silicone gel implants
- No costly MRIs needed to detect silicone gel rupture
- Smooth surface
Dr. Amirlak believes the Ideal Implant is an option worth looking into for our patients from Dallas and the surrounding areas. If you want to do some research on your own, click the Ideal website, or call Dr. Amirlak at (972) 972-4708 to schedule a consultation.
