At a time when breast augmentation tops the list for U.S. cosmetic surgical procedures, women are still left choosing between either the safety of saline or the natural result of silicone gel. Plastic surgeons are now looking to offer the best features of both in the revolutionary new technology of the IDEAL IMPLANT® Saline-filled Breast Implant. A clinical trial is launching this month in select markets nationwide, giving some women the opportunity to be among the first to have this new implant.

The first major new breast implant technology in over 20 years, the IDEAL IMPLANT is designed to offer the natural result of silicone gel, but with only saline inside to give peace of mind. Its novel yet simple design was developed by a noted plastic surgeon expert and consists of a series of implant shells of increasing size nested together. The internal perforated shells control saline movement to reduce “sloshing and bouncing.” The IDEAL IMPLANT is also engineered to conform to the chest wall with the edge low, to minimize the unattractive wrinkling on the sides often associated with standard saline implants.
