Decided to replace my saline under the muscle implants with cohesive gel. Soooo nervous!!
By Sassy Fairy on 11 Dec 2012
I've had my implants in for 18 years (24 yrs old when I had them done). I haven't had any problems and my PS did a great job. The only option available when I had them done was saline. They look great but I can feel the ripples on the implant around the outer edges. Saw my original PS last week and scheduled surgery for Jan 17. He said it was a straight forward procedure just go in through the original incision (around nipple) and use the same pocket. But being on this site is getting me all paranoid and thinking I might be bottoming out on one side. Would my PS have been able to notice and mention if I were having an issue like that? I know I'm probably getting all "pre-surgery paranoid" and probably making myself crazy.....
Hi there,
If you're worried you're bottoming out, you might want to discuss this with your surgeon in case he needs to revise the pocket. If he's an experienced, board-certified surgeon I imagine he would've noticed, but you should put your mind at ease and just bring it up.
