I've been umming and arring on my breast augmentation for a year, and finally I took the plunge and made the life changing decision to have it a week ago. I had my surgery done at elanic after seeing many surgeons before, elanic had a 3d scanner that showed me the outcome prior and What ccs would look like on me. Vivek and his team made me feel comfortable and didn't put any pressure on me to decide. In the day I had my procedure done under deep sedation and local anesthetic, the whole team made me relaxed and even until I fell asleep I was having great banter with everyone involved in my care. I woke up after my surgery to the most lovely nurse who stayed with me for three hours monitoring my pain, chatting, called my mum and family and made me drinks and food. The first thing I did was burst into tears to thank them for the outstanding rack they'd given me! After a long time recovered from post traumatic stress disorder, eating problems and malnourishment my breasts where empty sacks and now I'm healthy again I wanted my breasts back.. And golly I've got them. Incredible!

Things changed pretty quickly after my surgery- It's crazy how much your breasts change.
After a few weeks once the swelling had left I developed a double bubble- I contacted vivid but he said they still looked the best he had done. To the sides of my breasts I had rippling despite going dual plane and having a gummy bear implant.
This all got worse over time by this time the surgery weren't interested as I wasn't a new patient.
Currently- not only have my breasts moved towards my armpits and look terrible, the FDA recommends that women remove their Allergan textured breast implants, due to the link to cancer.
The FDA have now recalled all of gummy bear and textured implants — as they are six times more likely to cause this cancer than other existing brands — which also Allergan promptly responded to, removing their product worldwide.
Mine are both gummy bear and textured. Elanic have not been responsive about this issue as I'd like an explant.
