“Went from Saline to Silicone. Considering Changing to High Profile Implants.”

Worth It
Spent: $5,200 in Houston, TX

I had 11 year old saline implants exchanged for round moderate plus silicone implants. One side had shifted upward and I just felt it was time to replace. Some pocket work was done on the side that had lifted.

The silicone implants that were used have a "bottom-heavy" feeling I do not like. Considering switching to high profile silicone. Will this aliviate the heavy feeling or should I just go back to saline implants?

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

My Doctor: Name not provided

Yes, but we both were being conservative to avoid going too big and now another surgery will probably be done.

The weight of the implant if the same will still feel heavy.
