Hello, I'm very constipated, about 4-5 days now. I have surgery on Monday (it's 6:30am Saturday here now) can I take colace, in hope that it will work before surgery? I will not see my surgeon until surgery day. I also have powdered magnesium if that's better (brand name is natural calm) Any help is appreciated Thank you

It is okay if you like the round fake look, but do NOT get again smooth implants, do get them of highly adherent properties, which are the macrotextured or, preferably in bottoming out treatment, the biovelco ultra adherent polyurethane coated implants, either anatomical or round.

On side it is true it is your anatomy, your nipples are to the sides and there is NO ONE method in the whole world to change or improve that, accept yourself as they are.However your surgeon has ignored your nipples location and aimed only to fill up the cleavage not considering the final breast...

Surgery would be required to replace your current implants with ones with a wider base diameter to decrease the space between the breasts. This requires opening and enlarging the capsule in this area. I always recommend the use of a bandeau to hold the implants in while healing and long ...
