ok so the set date still a lil in the air but as it gets closer i start having doubts about saline and my doctor, which i dont unerstand bc he is an excillent doctor and had a great folio. maybe its because i havent seen him since my first consult im feeling uneasy, but i dont get my post op consult til i paid and that should be the middle of march the way things are going. Is this normal to doubt my doc even for a sec?

One other thing about the saline - I had saline 2-1/2wks ago. I was a little worried about it, since the "sample" ones had an air bubble and did resemble a water balloon; they assured me that the implants react differently in the body where there isn't any free air to be absorbed into the implant and that they would actually be slightly overfilled with salines so no air whatsoever in em.

Oh ok that's deff good to know bc this lady on YouTube "heyitsmebritney" she said hers makee some gurgling noises

Initially you may hear that or feel some "sloshing". My PS was very clear - "THIS IS NOT THE IMPLANT". They irrigate the pocket with antibiotics and possibly pain meds, and that is what causes those sensations.

Ohh ok great lol

Hey pretty, all my sloshing sounds are gone. I had my surgery Feb 6th and have silicone unders. :)
  • Reply
I still get a bit of the sloshing sounds. It's air and more common in thin women. Doctor said it could take up to 12 weeks to go away and not worry. It is kind of weird but he said at 4 weeks post op it's ok to have

Ha funny post. I have the weirdest dreams about boobs too, and breast augmentations and what not. Weirdest one so far was I dreamed that I went in for my appointment and I didnt get anesthesia at all and my PS stuck a hollow tube through my nipple and started blowing in it and my boobs started inflating hahaha, then next thing I know im walking out of his office with these big ol boobs, oh and im suddenly wearing different clothes and have a new car lol, weird dreams!

The first dr I went to was like that and so I walked away. The 2nd dr I went to really made sure to establish a relationship with me. It was important for him that I had all questions answered. Also, he said make as many appts as you need in order for you to make the right decision. Needless to say, I went with him. :)

I just got saline 2 weeks ago. Both saline and silicone feel hard and tight initially. They are getting softer everyday and will look very natural when they are done D & F. I had some breast tissue, so I don't think I will have too much problem with rippling. I chose saline for the same reason as Ready4boobs. I prefer to know immediately if it ruptures.
  • Reply
I completely agree and thank u soo much :)

I have saline. I'm currently 5 weeks post op and they are pretty soft already. I started out as a small a cup. I chose saline because I felt more comfortable with that leaking into my body if the implant were to rupture

I do too that's y I want it!!

My dr's nurse has them and she loves them. My BFF has them and also loves them. I'm getting silicone because of my boob size and thin skin. :)
  • Reply
My friend has saline. She says she is pretty happy. It has been about 9 years since she got them and she only has a little rippling ( not even visible to anyone but her), she says they feel very natural. She did start with a B though, so she had her own tissue to cover it. In the end i think no matter which kind you get it will depend on where the doctor puts it and if you have sufficient tissue to cover it.
  • Reply
That's what I'm concerned w the rippling :(
  • Reply
Hi pretty, both saline and silicone can give you rippling. However, you can get more from saline. It really depends on how much breast tissue you have. The more you have, the less you feel the implant. :)
  • Reply
I really hope I have enuff tissue lol...
  • Reply
I have silicone, actually gummy bears which are supposed to be the least prone to rippling. well, i'm 7 weeks post op and i have some rippling already in my cleavage area. It is only visible when i don't have the bra on. The doctors on here say i need to wait and let them settle still. But I was just making a point that rippling is possible with either implant.

Thank u very much I feel a lil better

Hey shon4ik how is the rippling goin? And I hope its not bad :(
