I needed my 16yr old saline implants replaced, my right one had been steadily losing volume thru the years, but my original plastic surgeon was located in New Orleans (I am now living in PA) and the hassle and expense of traveling to back there was too much. I also was a small D cup and wanted to be larger. I found Dr. Adam Hamawy of Princeton Plastic Surgeons in Princeton, NJ here on RealSelf. I had 3 consultations with other doctors before meeting Dr. Hamawy and his staff. His staff was amazing! They were so welcoming and the office was state of the art and comforting. Dr. Hamawy was so nice and experienced, he made me feel really comfortable and that I was in very safe and capable hands. He is an experienced breast man, and I liked his before and after pics of patients. He was offering a special in April of $5,000.00 for saline implants and he said replacing my current implants would be easy and making them larger would work great on my frame. He has high tech photo imagery equipment where he was able to use photos of my actual breasts and enlarge them on the computer to make sure I would be happy with the larger size. I scheduled my surgery that day. I had my implant replacement surgery this past Friday May 6. We did an in office procedure under twilight type sedation. I was very comfortable. I felt no pain and hardly remember it which is a good thing. He also gave me an IPL laser treatment afterward which I will post results from in a separate post. My skin looks really nice from that as well. My Mom was with me and drove me home from the procedure, and Dr Hamawy gave me ample pain medications for my recovery and other medications to make me heal well (including all natural anti constipation pills to counteract the pain pills). I looked at my breasts that night and showed my Mom and I took some pics. They look SO, SO nice, even the same day of surgery. I am so thrilled with Dr. Hamawy and his staff, I am definitely going to be their patient for all other procedures in the future and highly recommend him to everyone. If you live in New York, New Jersey or PA, I can tell you he is worth the drive. I did pray The Lord guide me to the right doctor when I was looking for a doctor to do my replacement surgery and I feel Dr. Hamawy was the one.

Dr Hamawy gave me Mentor Smooth Round High Profile Saline 460cc filled Left 550 and Right 530. Over the muscle, incision under breast.

Since you had saline for so many years did you hear any sloshing sounds from the implants ? I'm considering saline but dr, nurse, husband is recommending silicone. What kind did you get this time?Thankyou
May 10, 2016
I did not have any sloshing sounds. Not at all. I went with saline again. They seem more light weight than silicone but Dr Hamawy said there is a more realistic feel to silicone. I chose saline again because they worked for 16 yrs.

I've had Saline for 11 years. No slouching sounds lol. They do Ripple though.
May 11, 2016
Yes mine were rippling on the sides. And i could feel the bags inside and I hated that. I wanted fuller, firm boobs. Boobs really are maintenance. You have to switch them out when its time. But they are so worth it :)

I hear silicone doesn't ripple as much. I'm due to change mine out in 3 days. We shall see.
May 11, 2016
Wow let us know how it goes!!!! :):):) im sure you will be happy with either implant.

May 11, 2016
You said "over the muscle" is that how drs get these types of results ? Any concern w over stretching ligaments, etc? I'm still learning ...
May 11, 2016
I did not have any stretching or stretchmarks. The reason I choose over the muscle was fear of pain of going under the muscle back when I had my first surgery. I think you have to ask the doctor what he recommends for first time implants. Dr. Hamawy kept mine over the muscle for my new implants but he really laid all options on the table and left the decision to me. In the future down the road he can do what's best for my shape of my breasts for maintenance and if that means going under the muscle then im fine with it.

New breasts Fill out wedding dress and clothes BEAUTIFULLY

Sammy1976
16 days post op, incisions healing great with no pain, just started wearing comfortable sports bras (I am careful not let the bras rub my incisions under my breasts) I am not rushing into buying underwire pushup bras until I am healed entirely. My breasts are very soft, no pain anywhere, and I they fill out my clothes perfectly. No need anymore for pushup bras or padded bras to get the look I want in clothes. :)
