Until recently, women undergoing breast augmentation have had to choose between the safety of saline implants or the more natural texture of silicone gel implants. The best of both worlds wasn’t available. Serene Implants, formerly named Ideal Implants, have changed that.

Saline Implants vs. Silicone Implants vs. Serene Implants
The Best of Both Worlds in Breast Augmentation
Serene Implants are structured breast implants that combine the most unique properties of both saline and silicone implants to provide a natural feel and optimal safety. Aesthetics in Plastic Surgery proudly offers Serene Implants in addition to traditional saline and silicone gel implants, giving you a wide variety of options to choose from in making an informed personal decision about your best implants.
Benefits of the Ideal Implant
- Look and feel like natural breast tissue
- Higher strength and durability than saline and silicone implants
- Lower rupture rate than saline and silicone implants
- Saline is easily absorbed by the body if there’s a rupture
- No risk of silicone gel leaks
- Requires a small incision
- Doesn’t require regular MRI scans
- Maintains a smooth surface without wrinkles
What are Serene Implants?
Serene Implants received FDA approval in 2014, and have undergone 10 years of development and clinical studies. The Ideal Implant is a structured breast implant system that combines the safety of saline implants with the much more natural look, feel and bounce of silicone gel implants or natural breast tissue. The Ideal Implant system consists of a series of nested implant shells containing two chambers housing a saline solution.
The implant shell is made of standard implant material, but the internal nested structure controls the saline movement to prevent it from sloshing about, and ensuring bounce and motion looks natural. The structure also prevents it from folding and wrinkling, which is the primary cause of implant ruptures, thus increasing its durability and longevity. The implant structure doesn’t include any silicone gel, making it completely safe.
Saline Implants vs. Silicone Implants vs. Serene Implants
Saline Implants
Saline implants are traditional breast implants filled with sterile saline water. They’re filled with water after insertion, and they’re suitable for all adults over 18 years of age. Saline implants are extremely safe—if they get ruptured, the implant will deflate, and the saline solution will get absorbed by your body without health risks. While saline implants are safe, they don’t look or feel exactly like natural breast tissues. Furthermore, in the unlikely event your implants were to rupture, the shape and size of the breast will change; it may appear deflated or develop wrinkles.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are form-stable implants with pre-filled silicone gel. They’re the most popular type of breast implant because the thick and sticky fluid used closely approximates human fat tissue, making it the most natural-looking type of breast implant. If a silicone implant ruptures, the silicone gel might slowly leak into surrounding breast tissue, leading to breast pain and contour changes. Most patients won’t immediately realize a ruptured has occurred, necessitating regular MRIs to ensure nothing is leaking.
Serene Implants
Serene Implants are structured implants that combine the unique benefits of both implant types. They contain two chambers housing sterile saline and no silicone gel, so there are no health risks. Furthermore, the surrounding shells are designed to prevent implant ruptures, so there’s little risk of the saline leaking out. Besides safety, the implant shell is made of materials that closely resemble the appearance and sensation of actual breast tissue. As such, Serene Implants look and feel just like natural breast tissues while being extremely safe.
