I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about...
WORTH IT$7,590
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about the textured, form stable tear drop "gummy bear" implants.
At my consultation, my doctor said I have a very, VERY mild case of tuberous breasts and would "not be an issue". But insists on putting the implants over the muscle. (My guess is because they are textured and don't move so you don't want any muscle moving them.)
This is where it got me nervous. I am a 36A with little tissue and everyone I know has gotten under the muscle.
Now I am having second thoughts about what I should get as I'm sure EVERY girl does.
I've been on here a lot and people have said how they hate them, they don't drop, they don't giggle, they don't move, and they can't wait to change implants. Other women are in love with them.
I will have this discussion with my doctor at my 2 week pre op, but my mind is going crazy right now if I'm making the right choice choosing textured.

I'm also getting form stable implants over the muscle... I'm getting 475cc mentor gummy bear implants and I'm scheduled on March 16th in Las Vegas as well, who is your doctor? I've heard that the form stable are the only ones that maintain a natural appearance over the muscle.

Dr. Pancholi. We decided on 420cc & he said it will fill out nicely. Just worried because I don't have much of an upper pole. He seems to know what he's talking about so I'm trying to be calm..
8 more days!!

Yes I agree I do kinda like the upper pole fullness but we can still get it with a push up I'm so excited... Our stats are very similar and what we're having done I'm 24years old... 5'4 and 130lbs going with 475cc on one side and 495cc on the other

Well when I first tried on the implants I liked the 500cc and he said 420cc form stable is equivalent to the normal 500cc silicone.. Fingers crossed! Lol I want AT LEAST a full C to a D.

I'M SO EXCITED!! I will be graduating from the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee in exactly 1 week! My surgery is booked and it's finally all paid for! Started taking my vitamins and everything. I'm not nervous......yet.
My doctor and I decided that since I have a very very mild case of tuberous breast, I will not need any correction with my breasts currently.
He did, however, say that it will be best to do subglandular so I do not end up with a "double bubble." He said I will fill out nicely. Dr. Pancholi seems extremely confident that I will get the look I want, so I need to just let him "take the wheel," so to speak.
Currently:

Full 36A
Getting:
420cc Form Stable tear drop implants (Doctor said its equivalent to a 500cc standard silicone implant..)
Subglandular

Finally!!!!!
Surgery was at 7am!! Felt sick when I woke up but now I'm good to go! Feels like someone is sitting on my chest...haha *deep breaths*
Dr. Pancholi said he went ahead and cut my "bands" from my tuberous breasts. I couldn't be happier!!
