    No, but I saw a story about it on TV. Currently I have 700cc salines, and may be in the market for some revision surgery in the future.

    According to the Ideal Implant website testimonials, one woman reported having hers for six years, so I guess it isn't THAT new! Unfortunately, it seems like it is only for augmentation patients.

    I read through the Patient Information Handbook, and found this:

    The IDEAL IMPLANT has not been studied for use in breast reconstruction and therefore is not indicated for primary breast reconstruction, revision breast reconstruction or if there will be radiation of the breast.

    I also saw that their sizes only go up to 675ccs.

    However, it does sound promising, and I will be watching as they may perfect it for reconstruction patients.

    thank you! Good info. I didn't see that about recon. I might need a replacement. We will see after sono on Thursday. I fell onmy right really hard and it's distorted and weird-er. ;)
