Have You Considered Ideal Implants?

Breast Augmentation Okatie, SC Many of our patients feel as if they have an unwelcome decision to make when choosing the type of breast implants for their augmentation. 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.

Dr. Smith believes you don’t have to settle for silicone implants and worry about silent rupture. He is a big fan of Ideal Implants. 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 for women who want a natural look and feel but don’t want silicone. 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 wrinkles, 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 silent rupture — you’ll know if your implants are intact
