Virginia Plastic Surgeon Achieves IDEAL IMPLANT® Premier Status: Dr. Matthew Galumbeck builds strong relationships with patients before procedures
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Matthew Galumbeck is committed to informing his patients about all of their options before they undergo a breast implant procedure, and ensuring that the patients' needs come first. This is just one of the reasons he's achieved IDEAL IMPLANT Premier Surgeon status, an elite recognition provided to a very select group of surgeons based on their extensive experience with IDEAL IMPLANT breast implant procedures.
"We really want to approach the patient from how we are going to be able to help them," said Dr. Galumbeck, a board certified Virginia Beach plastic surgeon with more than 5,000 procedures to his credit. "We're working for them."
Dr. Galumbeck likes offering IDEAL IMPLANT breast implants, because his patients can achieve the results they are looking for without the worry of a potential "silent rupture" as with silicone gel breast implants. Because silicone gel ruptures can only be detected by MRI, a woman may not know for months or years if her implant has ruptured, which may require a more complex surgery to remove. By contrast, when a saline implant ruptures, the saline (a sterile salt-water solution) is safely absorbed by the body and the rupture can be detected by simply looking in a mirror.
IDEAL IMPLANT is filled with saline, yet it is called a "structured breast implant," due to its unique inner structure that offers a more natural look and feel similar to silicone gel, while still being able to detect right away if a problem arises. Dr. Galumbeck reports that his patients are increasingly making informed decisions, "You give the patient the opportunity to select what they want with the pros and cons of each option," he explained. "I believe the IDEAL IMPLANT has taken off because it makes sense...it's a commonsense kind of thing."
"Women seem to like the shape of the IDEAL IMPLANT, the way they feel, and how much better they heal after surgery," Dr. Galumbeck concluded. "They just love the look of them. They're more natural to them, and it's a product that I think that they feel safe having within their body."

About IDEAL IMPLANT
Ideal Implant Incorporated is a privately held company that was founded in 2006 by Robert S. Hamas, MD, the plastic surgeon who invented the IDEAL IMPLANT. After years of dealing with ruptured silicone gel implants and listening to patient concerns, Dr. Hamas realized that women wanted a new type of breast implant--one that would combine the natural feel of a silicone gel implant with only saline inside for safety and peace of mind.
The unique design of the IDEAL IMPLANT provides a natural feel and youthful look--without using silicone gel. The IDEAL IMPLANT incorporates a series of shells nested together and two separate chambers that hold saline. Though made with standard implant materials, the IDEAL IMPLANT uses an advanced internal structure to control movement of the saline and support the implant edges to reduce collapse and wrinkling. IDEAL IMPLANT has undergone ten years of development, testing and refinement--including contributions of clinical expertise from several board-certified plastic surgeons. IDEAL IMPLANTS were approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada in 2014.
