Ideal Breast Implant vs. Traditional Implants
Compared to traditional implants, the Ideal Implant offers several advantages. Silicone implants, while soft and natural-looking, come with the risk of silent rupture— one that can go undetected without an MRI. Saline implants, conversely, provide peace of mind because any rupture is immediately caught, but they can sometimes feel firmer, look unnatural, and may show rippling.
The Ideal Breast Implant combines the natural look and feel of silicone with the safety of saline. This innovative approach provides patients with the benefits of both traditional options without the downsides of either.
Candidates for the Ideal Breast Implant
The Ideal Breast Implant is a good option for individuals who:
- Want the safety of saline without sacrificing a natural feel?
- Are looking for a low-maintenance implant option.
- Desire breast implants that maintain shape and reduce the risk of visible rippling.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Jonov and his team will assess your needs and help determine if the Ideal Implant is the best choice.
What to Expect During the Ideal Breast Implant Procedure
When you choose The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery for your Ideal Breast Implant, your journey begins with a consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Jonov will discuss your goals, examine your anatomy, and review implant options to help you make the best choice. You’ll have the opportunity to see and feel different implants and ask any questions.
On the day of the surgery, Dr. Jonov will perform the procedure under general anesthesia. An incision is made in an inconspicuous location to minimize visible scarring, such as along the breast crease. The implants are carefully placed, and the incisions are closed with sutures. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, and patients can usually go home the same day.
How Long Does the Healing Process Take?
Most patients find that the initial healing period lasts about one to two weeks. You must avoid strenuous activities during this time, but light walking is encouraged. Swelling may take several weeks to subside fully, but you’ll begin to see your results within a month as your body adjusts. Complete healing and final results are generally achieved within three to six months, though each patient’s recovery will vary.
