Many patients want realistic breast implants but fear the possible effects of silicone. Others opt for the safety of saline but long for a more natural feel. Luckily, both can be achieved with the Ideal Structured Breast Implant.
What It Is
The Ideal implant is a structured breast implant that provides the natural feel patients desire without the concerns that come with silicone gel filling. It combines the benefits of both of the common implant types as it has the natural feel of silicone with the safety of saline inside. This special implant gets its natural feel from its internal layered supporting structure that controls the movement of saline, and it is only available through a limited network of certified plastic surgeons.
History of the Ideal Implant
Clinical trials for the Ideal Implant began in February 2009, and the implant has been in use since this time. By the following year 502 women had received the implant from 45 board certified plastic surgeon investigators across the country. In clinical follow-ups five years later, satisfaction with the outcomes was high for both patients and surgeons, and the contracture rate was low.
Enhanced Safety and Appearance
This implant is designed to contour to the natural curve of the chest wall to provide a more pleasing appearance. It features a series of implant shells aligned together along with two separate areas where saline is stored. This structure controls saline movement and supports the edges of the implant to reduce folding and wrinkling.
The Ideal Implant is unique in that it feels natural but offers the safety and security of saline. Silicone implants have a much higher rate of silent rupturing, and they require an MRI scan to be detected once this happens. The Ideal Implant can be checked by looking at appearance alone to ensure it is still in shape.
Opting to undergo breast implant surgery can be overwhelming, but the one thing you should not worry yourself further about is struggling to decide between the benefits of saline and silicone. You can now receive the perfect breast implant that offers the benefits of both.
