No More Hives - New Jersey

Was AA size originally and had 2 pair of small implants (due to frame) first were double lumen saline/silicon in 1988 on top of muscle. Had capsular contracture and replaced 7 years later. Second pair was saline textured under muscle. Lasted 6 years before leaking, but 2 days after getting that pair began getting hives under arms. Continued to get periodic hives (especially when warm) and consulted with many specialists looking for cause. Surgeon said no way it was implants, of course, never broke out again after explantation 12 years ago. So decided not a good idea to try again. Recently had fat transfer to breasts but only went up 1/2 size. Not enough fat to have more put in again. Too bad as they say second time works better. Now, I need a lift and possibly slight reduction! on one side for assymetry remaining after all the procedures. Hated the saline implants, as I like to fall asleep on my stomach and they don't flatten! I love adhesive chicken filets and push up bras!

Great review?

Target just started selling adhesive chicken fillets, only $20, great for under swimsuits. I like Maidenform push-up bras.

Thank you immensely for sharing your experience with us. The hives couldn't have been pleasant. Ugh! Do you have a favorite brand of chicken filets or push up bras? :0)
