A new type of breast implant now combines the natural feel of silicone gel, with the peace of mind of saline. The IDEAL IMPLANT\u00ae Structured Breast Implant is a technology-driven option that uses an advanced internal structure to provide all the benefits, without the drawbacks, of both saline and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">silicone implants<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As an IDEAL IMPLANT Premier Surgeon, Dr. Steven Ringler is among an exclusive network of board-certified plastic surgeons eligible to offer the IDEAL IMPLANT.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Saline Versus <\/b><b>Silicone Implants<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Ringler strives to provide the latest in implant technology to his patients. The revolutionary design of the IDEAL IMPLANT sets it apart from other <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breast implant options<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Dr. Ringler is renown for his natural looking results using saline breast implants, the IDEAL IMPLANT offers some improvements over traditional saline implants.. With no internal support, they can lack the ability to control the movement of the saline filler, sometimes creating a less-than-natural look and feel. If not filled properly, women may also see wrinkling and rippling to the skin with saline implants. So why choose saline? Because if an implant ruptures, the body harmlessly absorbs the sterile saltwater solution, and no MRI scan is needed to detect the rupture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silicone gel breast implants inherently come with the risk of \u201csilent rupture,\u201d and require an MRI scan to detect rupture. This means <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">silicone implants<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can rupture at any time without a woman knowing that sticky silicone gel is leaking into the surrounding tissues of her body. A physical examination alone cannot detect rupture, and this is why the FDA recommends women with silicone implants get an MRI every 3-4 years.. Once a silicone implant ruptures, it needs to be replaced which is a significant added expense and inconvenience for the patient. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the informational video below to learn more about your breast implant options.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IDEAL IMPLANT Structured Breast Implants vs Saline &amp; Silicone Gel Implants\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bTDbRJI7O_8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><b>About the IDEAL IMPLANT<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IDEAL IMPLANT is made up of a series of implant shells nested together that hold two separate chambers filled with saline.

I always thought I had pretty good results all along, so to find out from my employees that the IDEAL IMPLANT results were better, I started looking at them, comparing them to my saline breast augmentation that I thought were pretty good. But I think what I&#8217;ve really noticed with the IDEAL IMPLANT, is the shape of the breast is quite a bit better. Patients have had a very high level of satisfaction. I&#8217;ve not had anybody come back saying that they weren&#8217;t happy with the IDEAL IMPLANT. And now, I&#8217;m getting many patients coming in who have heard about the IDEAL IMPLANT. They&#8217;ve seen them online. They&#8217;ve heard from other patients. They&#8217;re starting to ask for the IDEAL IMPLANT by name . . . I like the shape of the IDEAL IMPLANT. I think the clinical results are better . . . Even with a silicone gel or traditional saline, I don&#8217;t think the shape in those patients is as good as with the IDEAL IMPLANT.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Considering Your <\/b><b>Breast Implant Options<\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patient education is very important to Dr. Ringler. He takes the time to address the concerns and answer the questions of his patients. He wants women to understand their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breast implant options<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before undergoing breast augmentation. He says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I&#8217;m talking to patients about implants, I always talk about silicone gel also. If it&#8217;s a silicone gel implant, I tell them that many surgeons are recommending replacement every 10 to 15 years. I also tell them the issues about requiring an MRI. With a traditional saline or the IDEAL IMPLANT, I tell them my 20-year data is 1.8% deflation rate. [<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: For the IDEAL IMPLANT, the seven-year data shows a 1.8% deflation rate.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">] So I&#8217;m an optimist, 98% don&#8217;t leak. If the implant doesn&#8217;t leak, and they&#8217;re not having problems with implant position, or scar tissue, then there&#8217;s no reason to replace the implant. Nobody can guarantee that the implants are going to last their whole life, but I have patients who&#8217;ve had saline implants in for 30 years and are doing just fine. At that point, there&#8217;s no reason to replace them, unless they&#8217;re having an issue . . . There&#8217;s not a long-term necessity to change the saline implant if they&#8217;re not having problems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Patient Reviews<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Ringler\u2019s patients say it best. A Google review by G I \u00a0reads: \u201cDr. Ringler was incredibly welcoming and friendly the entire procedure. He explained everything that he was doing and made me feel completely at ease.
