Aside from the large scars - the implants affect a lot of things. They feel very fake. They are hard and my right pec implant just causes an annoying pain every now and then (even though it was the one which dropped into the "right place." They affect my performance at the gym and even at work ( I do a bit of heavy lifting every now and then) I always have to consider my chest area.
I don't recommend the hard silicone implants as they are too severe. Anyone proceeding down this path - look into softer implants or even fat transfer. I plan on going to see Dr Mejia in Medellin in roughly 6 months to swap these hard silicone implants in for his softer brand.

were yours implantech? keep us posted if you change them to the softer one. some ppl say the gel implants may rupture. but that could be just in the butt area.

It’s almost been 2 years now since the implants. For the most part they have settled. My right pectoral is occasionally tender and tingles ( this happens rarely). They are implantech! Product code is: ACPI-3R/L. I definitely wouldn’t consider the squishy implants from Columbia- not after all the trouble I’ve had with them so far. That statement was said with too much haste I’m afraid. I am now looking at some scar revision for the pectoral implants and hopefully should not have any further problems (fingers crossed). To be noted- I do avoid lifting heavier weights now and am more focused on endurance/toning. I reckon in the long term that should serve my joints well.

Thank you for sharing your experience at the nine month mark. I am sorry to hear that you are not as satisfied as you'd hoped. Your experience will certainly help others when they make a similar decision. I hope you are able to swap out the implants for something that feels more comfortable and natural, if such a thing exists.

With Hair transplants you have to remember that generally it takes 2 operations (spaced 9-12 months apart) for it to get to a satisfactory density. I could keep my hair transplant at one (I don't get the odd stare at my hairline anymore) but I am going to go back for #2 perhaps mid year just to make it nice and thick (I used to have great thick hair in my early 20s). I should also note that I am on Finasteride 5mg (I cut it into quarters and take one daily), Minoxidil and am also on Biotin tablets + Pumpkin seed oil tablets. It is a commitment but like anything you have to put effort into it or you just lose it.

All in all I am very happy with my results.

Here are my results. I used to work out quite a bit from ages 22-29 (at least 5 days a week). With work and full time studies and a somewhat low protein diet I saw a lot of my gains go. I wanted to keep a relatively sporty shape though - nothing too drastic. These implants have certainly achieved that. The first 4 months I'd say I had tenderness whilst attempting pushups etc. That has diminished greatly and I am slowly working up my bench presses each week now. I will continue to post updates.

They are very natural looking, I have I have to admit. You would never know they were implanted.
