The number of American women getting breast implants is on the rise.

With social stigma disappearing and the advancements in safety and technology, it’s no surprise that breast augmentation has become such a popular procedure for many women. Options for breast augmentation include a wide variety of choices for implant types, sizes, and placement. Some women may dislike their breast shape after nursing babies, whereas others may have asymmetrical or highly underdeveloped breasts. The array of options makes it easier to tailor your final outcome to your personal goals, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming for some. It is important to educate yourself about the different options for plastic surgery in The Woodlands so that you can make the right decisions. The informed patient is most often the happiest with her results.

Weighing Your Options for Breast Implants

The type of implant you choose is one of the most important decisions you will make during your journey through breast augmentation. Silicone gel and saline breast implants have been on the market for many years and most patients understand the basic differences between them. Each has advantages and drawbacks. IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants

represent the latest in breast implant technology and are available through an exclusive network of plastic surgeons, which includes Dr. Paul Gill. There is no right or wrong choice when it comes to choosing an implant type; each woman considering The Woodlands plastic surgery has different needs and goals and a careful consideration is necessary to make the decision that is right for you.

  • Silicone Gel Implants – Breast implants filled with silicone gel are known for their natural look and feel. They are often chosen by women who prefer the soft touch and realistic appearance these implants provide. Silicone gel has a complicated history, however, and even today it is still associated with silent rupture, or undetectable leakage. The FDA recommends an MRI to monitor for silicone gel leakage every other year after the first three years following primary augmentation.
  • Saline Implants – Saline is a solution of sterile saltwater that is harmless to the body. One reason women choose saline breast implants is for the peace of mind they have knowing that if their implant leaks, the saline will be safely absorbed. The main disadvantage to a saline implant is its tendency to ripple. It is comparable to a water balloon in that it lacks the structure necessary to give it a natural feel. Sloshing, wrinkling, and being overly firm and round are some of the common complaints among women who have saline implants.

What Is the IDEAL IMPLANT?

After 10 years of testing and development, IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants were approved by the FDA and Health Canada in 2014. A Dallas plastic surgeon invented the IDEAL IMPLANT to address the concerns of women about the compromises of saline and silicone gel breast implants. Patients can now have the best of both worlds, as they no longer have to choose between the upsides of silicone gel implants and saline implants.  

The IDEAL IMPLANT has an internal design unlike that of any other implant on the market. What sets it apart is its inner structure, which consists of nested shells and two chambers containing saline. Saline implants do not have internal structure and therefore are susceptible to wrinkling and rippling on the outer edges. The risks for these types of problems are greatly reduced with the IDEAL IMPLANT.

Peace of Mind With Plastic Surgery in The Woodlands

Women who choose the IDEAL IMPLANT enjoy a sense of security knowing whether their implants are intact at all times. They also find comfort in the fact that their breast implants are filled with a substance that is safe for their bodies. When compared to primary breast augmentation statistics for silicone gel implants at 8 years, other advantages of the IDEAL IMPLANT include:

  • Lower risk of rupture
  • No silent rupture
  • No MRIs necessary to monitor for rupture
  • Lower risk of capsular contracture
  • Simple removal surgery in case of rupture
  • Shorter incision length

IDEAL IMPLANT Achieves Your Cosmetic Goals

Other than her safety and health, one of the most important factors for a breast augmentation patient is the beauty of her implants. The main goal of the procedure, after all, is to enhance the appearance of her breasts. The IDEAL IMPLANT has a youthful shape and natural feel that help provide the feminine beauty patients seek from plastic surgery in The Woodlands. It was designed with every last detail in mind, including its lower outside edges to ensure a natural slope from the implant itself to the chest wall.
