ok,i think i've given up on my hope and quest to enlarge my breasts by fat grafting (unless any of you know a board certified plastic surgeon who can perform this procedure for me and make me 1 n 1/2-2 cup sizes larger) I am going to research breast implants...... heres the big question. how do i get my implants to FEEL soft and bouncy like real breasts i have? I want them larger but not if they are going to be too firm or totally different from real breast feel. (I dont care if they LOOK fake, as long as they FEEL nice and like the real thing). Ive heard about silicone being the better choice, but is it really?? and...im starting to get scared. What is the deal with all these websites with women who say they got sick from the implants???
Using natural fat, we published a 250 cc increase in breast size or a doubling of breast size by MRI last June in the Journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It is possible!

I had the cohesive sillicone gel implants in 2002. Over the past few months the left one has changed shape and become lumpy in various places and is painful. I was wondering if it is a matter of urgency that I have them replaced and will the following surgery be a much more complicated procedure?
It sounds like you have a capsular contracture. This is when the scar that the body makes to surround the implant off begins to tighten causing deformity and hardening of the implant. This can be quite painful. It also may result in lumpiness as the implant is being squeezed, it is folding on itself. Alternatively, a rupture of a capsule can allow some of the implant to leak outside of the capsule that has surrounded the implant causing lumpiness. Usually when these symptoms are sever, the only option is to remove that capsule or surgically release it to allow the implant to spread out into the pocket. The best way to assess whether the implant has ruptured is with an MRI. This will also be helpful in distinguishing the potential for concerning breast masses. If the implant is ruptured, it is recommended that you replace the implant with a new one. Most insurer's will cover the cost of the removal of the implant and capsule if the implant is silicone and ruptured. The insurance will not cover the cost of the new implant or the replacement of the implant into the pocket. If the implant is not ruptured on the MRI, despite the deformity and discomfort, your surgery can be scheduled at your leisure. If there is any question of a new or changing mass of the breast which is of concern, immediate exploration is warranted.
Good Luck!!
I am 22years old and I had breast implants 1 year ago going from 32AA to 32B/C. Although they turned out perfectly I lost sensation in my right nipple. This did not worry me at first but over the past 2 months the area of desensitisation has increased and now the majority of my breast has no feeling. Also, the scars under my breasts are still quite predominant and at times sore and itchy. The appearance and shape of the breast however is unchanged. Should I be worried and if so what should I do?
Surgical sensory loss may be permanent or temporary, however if it is permanent is should not increase with time, it should lessen with time as the sensory nerves regenerate. My recommendation is to be seen by your Plastic Surgeon and consider a neurologist evaluation as well. I think you should definitely have a progressive sensory loss in any part of the body evaluated.
Good luck!
