The pros of breast augmentation are: The look of them naked and in clothes.

The cons are: If you go too big they actually make things harder to fit into. Possible complications with them. Multiple surgeries over the years. Premature sagging. expensive.

I had breast augmentation exactly a year ago and became pregnant 3 weeks post-op. My breast grew dramatically during pregnancy causing them to stretch even more and now I am left with the aftermath! Now that sounds a lot worse than it is! But I am now nervous that something is wrong because all of the sudden I can see and feel my "submuscular" implant while lying on my side... Almost like a ripple, but I have silicone and I thought that they didnt cause rippling?!

Could it be that my body is rejecting them or that they have slipped in front of the chest muscle? and at 24 year old will my skin tighten back up on its own or will I eventually just have to get a lift???
Great review?

My Doctor: Leonard Hochstein, MD

My rating:

He was thorough and did a nice job. It was very painless.
