8 months ago, I underwent bilateral mastectomy with tissue expanders placed. I am now ready to swap out for the implants (Photo)

Asked By:2017Survivor in Illinois, IL

1) The Plastic surgeon that I have chosen is young and has been out of residency only for one year. She is working on her Board Certification.. She is very impressive but should her lack of experience be a red flag for me? 2) I am worried about silicone implants and would prefer saline instead. Is there a brand preference that you would recommend? I have heard of the Ideal Implant. I would appreciate any thoughts on these matters.. Thank you!
