Am I crazy to want my saline implants back after replacing them with silicone implants 3 months ago?

September 8, 2014
Asked By:vpug in Birmingham, AL

I had high profile round saline implants filled to 430ccs for 12 years. Due to loss of breast tissue, rippling and some indention mid breast, I decided to replace them and went with round silicone 505ccs. I am 3 months post op. The problem is I hate the feel of the silicone. I feel that I lost some of my projection and I miss the firmness of the saline. Why do I not love my new silicone implants? I want my saline back! My surgeon agrees it is firmness I miss but says I am the first!
