Breast implants are not one-size-fits-all. Breast augmentation surgery is a very customizable procedure that allows women to achieve a wide range of results. Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. Plus, they have varying structural designs and are made with different kinds of internal fillers. These variables produce numerous levels of projection, often referred to as low, moderate, or high profile breast implants. As a patient of Dr. Barry Silberg, you will learn about all your options to ensure you make the best choice for your body type.

Offers Low, Moderate, and High Profile Breast Implants
Dr. Silberg understands every patient has unique goals and expectations. He takes time to listen to each one of his patients and learn about what they hope to accomplish from a breast augmentation. Whether you are interested in low or high profile breast implants, he offers three types of breast implants—silicone gel, unstructured saline, and IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implants.
How IDEAL IMPLANTS Compare
There are significant differences between silicone gel, unstructured saline, and IDEAL IMPLANTS. For years, women have been forced to choose between the natural feel and realistic look expected with silicone gel implants, and the peace of mind and security that comes with a saline filler.
Silicone Gel Implants: Women with silicone gel implants can experience a “silent rupture”, in other words, a rupture that goes undetected. The sticky gel substance comes in contact with the surrounding tissues of a woman’s body without her knowledge, and must be surgically cleaned out when the damaged implant is removed. An MRI or ultrasound is often required to detect the rupture. In fact, it is recommended that all women with silicone gel implants pursue regular MRI scans or ultrasounds to detect silent rupture of their implants.
IDEAL IMPLANTS: Both unstructured saline implants and IDEAL IMPLANTS are filled only with a sterile saltwater solution. So if an IDEAL IMPLANT ruptures, a woman’s body can harmlessly absorb the escaped saltwater. No MRIs or ultrasounds are needed for long-term implant maintenance or to detect a rupture. A woman with IDEAL IMPLANTS can simply look in the mirror to determine if her implants are intact.
An IDEAL IMPLANT Preferred Surgeon
Dr. Silberg was recently named an Ideal Implant Preferred Surgeon for his extensive experience with IDEAL IMPLANTS. As a plastic surgeon that offers low and high profile breast implants, he wanted an additional implant option for his patients. IDEAL IMPLANTS utilize the latest implant technology to combine the best characteristics of both silicone gel and unstructured saline implants. IDEAL IMPLANTS have a series of implant shells nested together that hold two separate chambers filled with saline. This advanced internal structure controls the movement of the saline to mitigate sloshing, reduce wrinkling, and support the implant edges to prevent collapse or damage. In fact, a study comparing IDEAL IMPLANTS and silicone gel implants found that IDEAL IMPLANTS have a lower rupture/deflation rate over ten years after primary breast augmentation.
