Breast implant replacement, with or without mesh?

MTJohnson0207
Hi! I am a 36yr old female with 18 year old saline implants. I have nursed 3 healthy children. My implants have held up nicely, however I do not have those perky, high breast anymore. They have also bottomed out (or so one Doctor says). I have had 4 consults, 3 different opinions. All have said I will need to go up to around 500ccs, but only 2 have said I need the mesh to hold the implants in place. My biggest concern is the mesh. How safe is it? Pros and cons? Saline or stick with silicone?
