Do they look normal? When will they begin to drop?

Breast Implants Gradually Settle into Normal Position
May 25, 2017

Your photos look very typical of what I see when my early post-op patients come in for their follow-up visits. At this point, the patient needs a great deal of reassurance that it is normal and expected. I like to warn my patients before surgery that this will happen, so they will be prepared and not be completely surprised as you appear to be. I used to worry about it as well, often using a compression band over the top of the implants, hoping to help encourage the…

Normal For One Week Post-Op
May 25, 2017

I always make sure I tell my patients and their family members that, although the implants looked great on the OR table, they are going to look “Horrible” the next day- rising all the way up to the collarbone. This is normal with all types of breast implants and results from the elasticity of the soft tissues of the lower chest and post-operative spasm of the pectoralis muscle, both of which push the implant into the upper reaches of the pocket. Over the first couple of wee…

What’s the safer route for me, the new Ideal Implant or the “Gummy Bear” implants?

Ideal Implant—A Worry-Free Alternative to “Gummy Bear” Silicone Implants
May 25, 2017

“Gummy Bear” implants are highly cohesive Silicone gel implants, meaning that they are essentially solid molds of a rubbery type material, which in my opinion produces a breast with a consistency that is firmer than normal breast tissue. Since these are Silicone implants, the FDA recommends rupture surveillance every 2 years with MRI exams to monitor for “silent rupture” of the implant. This the main drawback of the gel implants. “Gummy Bear” implants require a l…

Has anyone seen the results of the ‘Ideal Implant’ with the separate chambers of saline and layers w

Revolutionary Design, Natural Results
May 25, 2017

I have been using Ideal Implants for breast augmentation for over a year now and have been quite pleased with the results. They appear and feel as natural as gel implants and represent an excellent alternative to the Silicone or Saline breast implants.
The secret is in the design of these implants, which have a double lumen and inner baffles which serve to dampen the motion of the saline fill- creating a soft, natural, flowing implant. Also, since the Ideal…

Will Ideal implants prevent rippling?

Better Chance of Good Result in Thin Patients with Ideal Implant than with Saline
May 25, 2017

Ideal Implants are a good choice for a lean patient such as yourself, since they have a “structured” design, which means the outer shell is more resistant to visible caving and rippling than the shell of a traditional saline implant. I would most likely recommend that you go submuscular in order to give better coverage of the upper portion of the implant which is the area most likely to have visible irregularities. Another important point is to not use an excessively large imp…

What is the average price for ideal implant?

Cost of Ideal Implants in Seattle

The cost for Ideal Implants in the Seattle/Bellevue area is between $8400 and $9000.
These implants are approximately $1000 more than saline implants.

Good luck!

If my doctor did not tell me about the “ideal” implants as an option, is it even possible for him to

Find a Surgeon Who is Experienced with Ideal Implants
May 25, 2017

All surgeons have their own opinion regarding what type of breast implant is appropriate for any particular patient. It is important for your surgeon to be thoroughly familiar and comfortable with whatever implant they are planning to use. It sounds like the surgeon you saw in consultation was not familiar with the Ideal Implant, thus, they are probably not the best choice for using this type of implant. You can certainly discuss this issue with them and see what their…

Ideal Implants Come in a High-Profile Design
May 25, 2017

One of the disadvantages of the Ideal Implant is, currently, they are only available in a high-profile. This means that patients like you who want a modest increase in breast size are not ideal candidates for the Ideal Implant. Depending on the patients and their body style, sometimes a narrower Ideal Implant can be used in order to produce the size breast that the patient desires. However, sometimes this is not possible, leaving only saline or silicone…

Can I request a doctor use IDEAL structured saline implants?

Ideal Implants: Look for an Experienced Surgeon
May 25, 2017

Currently, for a surgeon to be able to obtain and use Ideal Implants, they must be either Board Certified or Board Eligible by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Additionally, they are required to familiarize themselves with the Ideal Implant literature, since these implants have two filler ports and a unique implant filling protocol when compared to a traditional saline breast implant.
I would suggest you seek out a local Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced…

Do Ideal Implants require massaging?

Massage For Capsular Contracture
May 25, 2017

I don’t routinely recommend that patients massage their implants following breast augmentation. I feel that it may increase the incidence of bleeding into the pocket, which can lead to a thick layer of scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture) which will result in a firm, uncomfortable, and immobile breast. I see my patients back regularly after surgery and carefully evaluate them for any evidence of early capsular contracture. If the implant(s) appear to be f…

IDEAL Implants vs. regular saline?

Ideal Implants: The Peace of Mind of Saline and Natural Results of Silicone
May 25, 2017

Ideal Implants can be placed through incisions in the armpit (transaxillary), areola, and the inframammary crease. Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) is suspected as a cause for implant deflation, and is therefore not recommended with Ideal Implants.
Recent studies have shown transaxillary placement of breast implants to be associated with a higher rate of infection when compared to the inframammary approach. Additionally, transaxillary breast augmentation has a…

Is the Ideal Implant as good as it seems? Why am I only learning about it now?

Ideal Implants: FDA Approved in 2015
May 25, 2017

The Ideal Implant is quickly becoming the preferred choice with my breast augmentation patients, since we are finding that these implants closely mimic a silicone gel implant both outside and inside of the body. In fact, they have the advantage over “Gummy Bear” implants in that they are not so unnaturally firm as compared to the highly cohesive implants.
Ideal Implants have been available since September of 2015 when they were approved for use in the U.S. and Canada by the FDA…

Happy with Ideal Implants!
May 25, 2017

I have used the Ideal Implant in my practice now for more than a year and am happy to report that, overall, we have had excellent results; even in extremely lean patients, with regard to palpable or visible rippling and caving. There have been no ruptures or severe capsular contractures that have required re-operation. Although it is still early to come to a final conclusion regarding the performance of the Ideal Implant, I am very encouraged by our results. I would…

Ideal Implants Have a Strong Warrantee!
May 25, 2017

The Ideal Implant comes with a lifetime warrantee which is subject to reasonable restrictions, i.e. you suffer significant trauma and the implant pops. Overall, the Ideal Implant has a 5 year rupture rate which is equal to the other available implants on the market today and, according to some studies, may have a superior record with regard to both rupture and capsular contracture rates. This is quite reassuring to me as a surgeon. I don’t want my patients t…

The Ideal Implant: The Natural Feel of Silicone and the Safety of Saline
May 25, 2017

My personal choice is the Ideal Implant over silicone, and most of my patients echo my feelings. The prospect of “silent rupture” with silicone implants is not appealing to most patients, and the “Gummy Bear” (highly cohesive) implants can produce an unnaturally firm feel to them. Also, they have a tendency to fracture internally if placed through too small an incision. Routine surveillance with expensive MRI exams every other year does not seem to make much sense when th…
