SERENE vs. Silicone Gel Implants

When it comes to breast augmentation, women consider far more than a natural look and feel. Safety, peace of mind, and long-term outcomes are just as important.

While FDA-approved silicone gel implants are safe, they come with the possibility of silent rupture—a rupture that can only be detected through MRI or ultrasound. If a gel implant ruptures, both the implant and surrounding capsule typically need to be removed in a procedure called a capsulectomy.

The SERENE Structured Implant® (formerly IDEAL Implant®) was created to address these concerns while still delivering a natural, beautiful result.

Advantages of SERENE Implants®

Rupture Advantages

  • No silent ruptures — you always know if an implant is intact
  • Saline filler is safely absorbed by the body if rupture occurs
  • No MRI required — visual confirmation is enough
  • Easier removal and replacement compared to gel implants

Filler Advantages

  • Only saline inside — no silicone gel in the body
  • Peace of mind with the safety of saline
  • Natural look and feel thanks to structured internal design

Clinical Advantages

  • Youthful breast shape and contour
  • Lower capsular contracture rate compared to many gel implants
  • High rupture strength and low rupture rate shown in clinical studies
