Article Synopsis
- The IDEAL IMPLANT Structured Saline breast implant features a dual-lumen and baffle design, offering specific benefits over traditional silicone gel and saline-filled implants.
- Its internal baffle can create imaging appearances that may resemble a ruptured silicone gel implant, leading to potential misinterpretation in radiologic studies.
- It's crucial for plastic surgeons and radiologists to recognize the normal appearance of an intact IDEAL IMPLANT to avoid misdiagnosis, which could result in unnecessary anxiety or surgeries for patients.
Background: High follow-up rates are critical for robust research with minimal bias, and are particularly important for breast implant Core Studies seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval.

Background: A double-lumen, saline-filled breast implant with a baffle structure (IDEAL IMPLANT Saline-Filled Breast Implant; Ideal Implant Incorporated, Irving, Texas) was developed to overcome the limitations of single-lumen saline implants by controlling saline movement and providing internal support to the implant edge and upper pole.
Objectives: The authors report 2-year data from a 10-year US clinical trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of this investigational implant.
Methods: Women seeking primary breast augmentation or replacement of existing augmentation implants were enrolled between February 2009 and February 2010 at 35 private practice sites, where the women underwent surgery to receive the new technology implant.
