I only am in the consultation stage right now. I don't know if I should have saline or silicone and 280 or 300 cc? Silicone sounds like it would be better, but saline safer? Will mammograms detect a ruptured silicone breast implant? Because I won't be getting MRI's every 3 yrs like they suggest!

Hi. I was an a cup. Got my BA January 2016. 275cc silicone gel. There is basically a tablespoon between the two sizes your going with. Which ever you choose it will fine. Love mine. So soft and natural feeling. Sent so many people to my surgeon after they saw and felt mine. Good luck. Only 2 days away.

It's totally normal to be a little nervous and anxious. It's a very stressful and exciting experience. Before you know it your big day will come. It's not necessary to change your diet for surgery however healthy eating is always good. You won't be able to exercise for a couple of weeks so I went hard on my workouts and tried to reduce my calories . I wanted to do lose 1or two pounds before surgery since I knew I would be restricted to physical activity for a while.

You can eat normal of course but I would try to eat healthier and nourish my body. Definitely eat lots of fiber right before and after surgery. You're going to be backed up no matter what so eat some prunes, dried fruit, lentils, avocado, broccoli, whole grains, lean proteins, etc. Most docs recommend a stool softener but I found I need something stronger. I start taking colace a day or 2 prior to surgery and continue until my first #2 lol. I also take the stool softener in combination with the colace. When is the surgery date? Have you decided what exactly you want? Goodluck and keep us posted!

Hey, thanks for the info, I'll look up colace and buy some! My surgery is dec 21! I have a second pre op this Friday so do sizing and just some final questions I have. I have a consultation a few weeks ago and the surgeon was good, but only showed me like 2 implant sizes 300 and 350, I thought I def want under 300, but didn't confirm so that's why I want to go in and spend some time on this. When I called to book the second consult, they' were like "oh u need a second consult? Hmmmm" I wanted to say YEAH I didn't even try these one, or see how they would look under my shirt, so I was thinking between 280-300... I'm a 34a now... so
Confused, and not sure about HP or mod +?
November 16, 2016
Well I think there is nothing wrong with seeing him as many times as you need I order for you to feel comfortable . The difference between the moderate plus and the high profile is how far the implant will project from your chest wall. The high profile has a more narrow width, but contains the same volume as a wider implant. Thus, instead of going wider, it goes higher. When this is in your breast, it means that your breast will project forward more. Moderate plus is more natural looking in my opinion. Depending on the look you want , depends on which you should choose.
November 16, 2016
So HP or mod + is really determined by you bwd and your desired volume. Whatever you choose from has to fit your bwd and then you see your options of volume and projection from there. HP will fit more volume with more projection. Depending on your stats you should probably have good options in each profile. Are you going under the muscle? Keep in mind you may lose a little volume with that as well.

What does bwd stand for? Im getting under the muscle... I am fairly small up top, broader shoulders tho, and wider hips. 5'5" 138 lbs
