Answer Snippet

How come NOT many plastic surgeons have the “Ideal” implant?

Ideal Implant
Aug 15, 2018

Hi,I agree with "can't teach an old dog new tricks". Unfortunately, many plastic surgeons are resistant to change. Many only implant one brand or type of device and I think this is really unfair to women. We want choices and I think the Ideal implant is a great option for many women, esp. those who are afraid of 'silent rupture'. Check out the physician locator on the ideal implant website and find someone near you who has experience with it. I love it! Good luck!

I am looking into the ideal implant. Will this implant ripple/look very unnatural given my limited br

Rippling with IDEAL Implant
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. It's a bit of a tough one to answer because the gel implants aren't all the same. Some are significantly underfilled and the gels can be very different from one manufacturer to another. In general, I feel that the IDEAL implant ripples slightly more than a 5th generation gel but the IDEAL implant can provide a tremendous amount of security in patients who are worried about "silent rupture". It's a trade off and it's worth a discussion between you and your plastic...

Would a 450cc Ideal Implant help achieve this look? I am 30 years old, 5'0 at 137lbs.

IDEAL Implant Sizing
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question and photos. From the pictures, it looks like an IDEAL implant in the 400 cc range would give you the look you wish to achieve. Make sure you choose a board certified plastic surgeon who does intra-operative sizing. This allows us to be 100% sure that the final implant we choose will give you the result you want!Best of Luck!

Are the Ideal implants available to any plastic surgeons?

IDEAL Implant
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. I believe the are available to all board certified plastic surgeons but they are more popular in some markets than in others. I love the IDEAL implant and my patients have been thrilled with their results. You can find a provider near you on the physician locator of the IDEAL implant website.Good luck!

Are there any doctors in North Carolina that perform under the muscle fast recovery ideal implants?

IDEAL IMPLANT
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. I perform rapid recovery breast augmentation with Ideal Implants in Austin, TX. Sorry but I don't know anyone in NC who does them but you can check the physician locator on the Ideal Implant website. I don't perform lip lifts but be sure to seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon who has vast experience in those. They can be challenging and can lead to very unsightly scars if done improperly.Good luck!

Experience with the IDEAL Implant
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. As with most things in plastic surgery, it is generally better to seek someone with experience in the procedure you are interested in. While filling the IDEAL implant is similar to the old saline implants, there are nuances to it, as it has separate compartments within the shell.Best of Luck!

Female surgeons with breast implants-did you choose saline or silicone and why? What brand?

What breast implant would a female plastic surgeon choose?
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. As a female plastic surgeon who has breast implants, I'm happy to share my experience. I personally have Sientra gel implants and I've been very happy with them. They were placed several years ago. I didn't want saline implants b/c I'm thin and I was very concerned about rippling. Now, we have another choice in the IDEAL implant. It feels very similar to gel but doesn't have the risk of silent rupture. If it ruptures, your body will absorb the saline. If I ne...

Which would be a better option for me silicone or saline?

Ideal Implant
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. If you concerned about "silent rupture" you should consider the IDEAL implant. It's a saline implant that feels very similar to a silicone gel implant so you have the feel of gel with the safety of silicone. It's a great option and my patients have been thrilled with their IDEAL implant results.Best of Luck!

Breast lift and implants: separate or one procedure?

Breast Lift - Vertical or Anchor
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question and the photos.Based on the photos, you need a lift and augmentation. In my opinion, you should have them performed at the same time, so that you have only one recovery. It's very safe to do both procedures at the same time in the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon. Whether I use a lollipop (vertical) incision alone or whether I use the anchor incision depends on how much skin is present after the final implant is in place. Sometimes the anchor incision will...

Tummy tuck or lipo?

Tummy Tuck 360
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question and photos. From your photos, you would have the best result with a tummy tuck with 360 degree trunk liposuction! This would get you back to your 'before baby body'. Liposuction alone of the abdomen would leave you with excess skin.Good luck!

Auto Immune Disease and Implants
May 16, 2018

Hi,Thanks for your question. As the other docs have stated, a significant amount of research has been done on this subject and all studies show our current devices to be safe. I would seek the advice of a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss all options. If you are concerned with "silent ruptures" that can happen with gel implants, you may want to look into the IDEAL implant. It's a saline implant that feels very close to a gel, and if it ruptures, you would know it right away. This ...

Will this boob heal correctly? Or should I worry?

Will I Need a Breast Revision?
May 28, 2017

Hi,Thanks for your question and photos. In my opinion, it's too early to judge your final outcome. In most cases, we see the near final result at 3 months but it can take an entire year for the implants to completely settle, especially in cases of large implants. I would discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon at your next visit.Best of Luck!

Do I need a breast lift w/ implants or just breast implants?

Breast Lift with Internal Bra
May 28, 2017

Hi,Thanks for your question and photo. You will definitely benefit from a breast lift, as your nipples sit too low on your chest wall. A lift alone will make you slightly smaller (since skin will be removed) and will give a very natural tear drop shape to your breasts. In most cases, I perform an augmentation at the same time as a lift because the implant will help to maintain superior fullness over time and create a better shape. Most women desire upper pole fullness and dislike that it go...

Can you drain saline breast implants on top of muscle?

In-Office Aspiration of Saline Implants
May 28, 2017

Hi,Thanks for your question. Yes, saline implants can be aspirated or drained in the office under topical anesthesia with a small needle. This can be done for implants on top of or beneath the muscle. I do this frequently for patients when planning their revisionary breast surgery. Good luck!

Can I be fixed? I'm 6 months post Breast Revision and I hate my breasts now.

Need for an Internal Bra with GalaFORM
May 28, 2017

Hi,Thanks for your question and pictures. I'm sorry your revision didn't turn out the way you had hoped. From the images, your desired result can only be obtained by doing a true breast lift + GalaFORM to create an internal bra to support not only your breast tissue but also the implant. The anchor incision will most likely be needed. The periareolar incision alone isn't enough to truly lift the breast. It lifts the nipple but the tissues/implant bottom out, and this is what is going on in y...
