“Saline Vs Silicone? - Los Angeles, CA”

I have been to a few consultations with different doctors, and one doctor said she prefers silicone and that she would insert it under the bottom of the breast.

One of the staff members at the doctor's office who prefers saline showed me her breasts and... more

“Very Uneven to Acceptable - Newport...”

WHY I DID IT: From the time I began to develop breasts, I knew somethign was up. The Left Breast grew and the right just never caught up. By 16 years old, my breasts did not grow anymore.

I missed out on beach summers and laid back... more

“Don't think it was worth it after...”

I had no hesitation about getting the surgery. I feel I absolutely needed it and I would do it again. However, I wish I knew then what I know now.

Although I didn't even pick an implant size prior to surgery, using research about various results I saw online, I knew I wanted nothing less than 300cc. The first two months... more

“Ruptured Silicone Implants - Costa...”

Won't waste your time with all details. However I propose a challenge to you. To All the Plastic Surgeons: Get silicone breast implants have them in for a few years, get a mammogram and smash them so they rupture, let the silicone stay in for a few more years then YOU will be able to give a truly un biased opinion on "silicone poisoning" I truly think it is amazing how little you... more

I had saline implants and had one deinflate. I had moved from So Cal to Washington State and had consultations with the Physicians there but returned to my orginal physician, it was worth every penny of extra cost. I changed to Silicone gel.

I never particularly thought about breast enhancement. In the past I've known women to have it done and could always tell. Their round perfect breasts looked like imposters of the real thing. In addition to stigma of insecurity, many men claim to take women with larger augmented breasts less seriously, so I wondered why so many women would choose the knife to change what God gave them. So... more

I had my breast plants done in 1984 when I was 32year old. I had Goat Titties. I went from a cup B to a cup C plus. Two Weeks of discomfort was all.

Get a Cup size that will fit bras not overfull C or Under D. more
