I didn't realize there were questions on my post! I know most are old but I'll answer all anyway in case anyone else is interested.

Yes, I am still thrilled with it. I can't even remember exactly but I think I'm about 5+ years out from my treatment and it still looks great. I haven't needed any additional treatment and am very happy. I'll see if I can post any updated photos to my original post.

For my skin, I use Vivite from Allergan and the prescription medication Spironolactone. This isn't the board for it so I won't elaborate but if you'd like info on my personal experience with either of these, feel free to email me.

I'll be 42 next month. You can see how bad my lines were in my mid-30s so I shutter to think how they'd look now without treatment! Angela, I would highly recommend you find a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has experience with Artefill (or Artecoll....you must be in Canada). I suspect that people that haven't had a good result haven't gone to an experienced surgeons for treatment. This expertise is important not only for how to use the product but also for the judgement to know when and where to use the product (which may be even more important!). It's a permanent product so getting it done right the first is critical.

I was an AA on a good day ;-). I have full Cs now and haven't had any problems with rippling or contracture. My husband is a doctor (facial plastic surgeon) and he can't even tell where the edge is. You may be able to b/c you've got more breast tissue to start with. I've had them for 4 1/2 years. I do have some numbness in the under 1/3 of each breast and my nipples are more sensitive than they were before, but those things can happen regardless of type or placement of implant. Even knowing that I would still do it again. Good luck!
