I love My Surgeon.. I'm a 34 A, and I"m thinking about 395cc's.. I"m pretty sure they will look great. I'm just scared with recovery, and all the bad things that can happen. I'm 23 years old, athletic build, 140 pounds. I havent told my family or my bf.. They will all disapprove. Guess, I will just have to surprise everyone. lol.. I am alittle scared now that my surgery is 2 months away. I just dont want to regret it. Saline,BTW

I'm scared for the MRI that I would have to get every 3 years

My doc said no need for an mri. I have the silicone gummy implants. If you have thin Breast tissue, it is better to go with silicone because you will not see the implant or rippling (based on my doc's info). Get a few consults and trust the doc who sizes and measures you though since we are all so different. Good luck xo

The MRI i think was really just to check for rupture and now the implants are so unlikely to rupture in only 3 years. This is just my opinion, but i think youre right

I heard that too, that you can see visible rippling when you lean over with saline, especially if you are an A cup and getting close to 400 ccs. Silicone is softer and feels real. At your age, you have a long time with these beautiful boobies -- I would pick silicone. What if saline breaks? Immediate surgery needed

No, it's not the old silicone. The gel does not leak out. It stays put.

The risk of rupture is much less common now. ALso if it does rupture, the silicone stays in the implant. With a saline, if the rip gets big it will leak out immediately and you will have a flat boob almost immediately too. like how water would flow out of a plastic bag. this is what my doctor explained.. Also the silicones are much safer now. My surgeon said they used to make a "bleed" on silicone implants to keep them softer ( because they didnt have good technology back then) so basically the silicone from inside would come out and make a layer of silicone OUTSIDE the implant. With new tech. they dont do that anymore. Also silicone feel MUCH softer and more like the feel of if you are sitting down and squeeze the back of your thigh. This is just my opinion and what I've learnt. I've also heard some girls either content with saline, or disappointed not because of the rippling but because of how they feel. Dont worry you have some time to think about it and you will do what you feel is best for YOUR body.

I'm so excited.. My pre-op is a week away, and the surgery about 26 days away.. Not, that I'm counting.. lol… I"m still confused as to how many cc's I should get. I'm thinking 425 cc's behind the muscle and I will be getting Silicone.. I want at least a D. I have been eating non-inflamitory foods, and I started pro-biotics 90 days prior to surgery. I'm a nurse.. lol. Also, I found the Vitamedica pre/post breast aug vitamins online for $95.00, The doc office sells them for $270. I'm so happy I found them for a cheaper price on Amazon. I will def keep you all posted. I finally told my bf whom was not happy about my decision. But, I think he's slowly accepting it. I'm so lucky to have this site! It's a great support system. Love you ladies. Dec 13th, can't come fast enough.. OMG! Time has come to a halt. lol

How exciting!! I think 425s will look great on you! Did you decide on a profile? I have 400/450 HP silicon unders, and wearing a 34 D. I'm only 7 mos post but I am over the moon about my implants results. I can't wait to hear more from you :-)

I agree, you will be able to pull off as big of boobs as you want. I'll just warn you that the skin takes quite some time to adjust to it I think if you haven't had kids. I got 235's and my skin is still way stiff and needing to stretch. My PS said it might be 4 more months before it looks normal since my skin was so tight. I also took probiotics before and found it helpful. I also think the special pre BA vitamins will be good. I recommend planning something fun every other day to look forward to. That's what helped me keep my mind off the BA and made time go by faster. Also, it's normal to be scared. As soon as I walked into the surgery room, I turned into a big baby! I almost started crying and told my surgeon I was really scared and asked him to please make very sure I was asleep before cutting me open. He just held my hand till I fell asleep (like 5 secs, haha) patting it and telling me it was going to be ok. Other than that moment, I've always been really quite and not really said much to him. It was just such a funny moment. Plus, the nice thing is that it goes so fast, that the worst part about it is trying to sleep or think of anything else the weeks leading up to it!

The pain sucked, not gonna lie. But my mom was taking care of me and wouldn't give me all my dosage when it was due because she thinks that meds are over prescribed and not good for you. If I would have had the full amount prescribed, I think it would have gone better. I find it's best to just not think about the pain beforehand, since it's hard to imagine anyway. Like I said in my review, after several surgeries for other reasons, I was prepared for the pain, but still didn't like it one bit. To get through the painful first day, I recommend being with someone who is very supportive, have movies you dont mind nodding in and out of, and getting lots of sleep so it will e over quick. You wont remember a thing after the first couple days, so dont worry. Also, I recommend taking a still softener (pill) the night before or the morning of surgery. When you will already be emotional, constipation is the worst!
