“So glad i had it done!!”

Breast implants: Worth it

Cost: $3,800
Pain: Severe
Breast implants satisfaction: Very good4 Star Rating: Very good

since I was a teenager I had thought about it. I went from a 34B to a D and since I am tall it looks quite nice and so natural. Most people don't know and would never guess. I got saline unders and they are SO soft to the touch and feel/look quite natural...I have done it 5-6 years ago and i still look at them and think how much I liek them and how happy I am to have it doen..the best investment EVER!!! We don't think twice about putting money in extra luxuries in a car or a vacation but we feel so hesitant about spending a few K on ourselves...

as far as problems, I have a few minimal ones: If I am standing up and feel under my breast I can feel a bit of the implant rippling (I am pretty thin whih is partly why) and sometimes my muscles feel a bit sore, especially when I am on my side which is not great but frankly is worth it!!!!

As far as the procedure itself, it was horribly painful!!! You need some strong medecine and a few days off (4th day started to be better for me). It's like having a truck running over your chest (some people compare it to childbirth, it hurts but later you are so happy!)

They did a good job on them. Where was your incision? And was it placed under the muscle?

from the side view,they aren't to bad,(please don't take wrong way,everybody is different when they think they are natural/not looking).i was wondering if at all possible if you could post a straight on view of them,for i am in the consultation process of the surgery.was also wondering what size implants you chose for i am pretty close to your size.thank you for posting the pic and for posting your story.really appreciate your courage and the help you have given to many others like me
