Ideal Implant Structured Breast Implants: Core Study Results through 10 Years.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Ideal Implant structured breast implant uses different technology than unstructured saline or silicone gel implants, making it a third type of implant. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada granted approval in November of 2014. This saline-filled implant has an internal structure consisting of a series of nested shells that support the upper pole when upright and control movement of the saline to provide a natural feel. Because women can look in the mirror to know their implants are intact, they have peace of mind. In contrast, most women are concerned about silicone gel implant ruptures, which are silent and require FDA-recommended magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound scans for detection.

Methods
