While the implants themselves cannot "kill" you, there is a small risk of death with any surgery/anesthesia. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and anesthesia provider.
The risk of a tattoo needle perforating the implant on a right placed implant is 0, so its safe. Now is it a good idea to do it just after recovered from the surgery?? NO, you should at least wait until all the swelling goes off so your tattoo artist will be able to do his work...
To specifically answer your question - there is a 125 cc difference between the two implants you mentioned. To give you a visual of how much volume that is - about 4 shot glasses. Use a measuring cup and place that amount of water in a baggy to see how much volume that is.Please also note there...
