Behold, my situation. They look great in a bra but otherwise I'm fried eggs hanging on a nail. I don't even have any kids to blame! The lord saw fit to malform me a little but he could have chosen my brain instead of my breasts so I'm humble! Lol. Still torn between saline and silicone. Don't want ripples and I love the gummy bear but I'm also trying to take into consideration the wisdom of my PS 30yr expertise. Dr Hardesty says saline, I am almost convinced it will be safer but will I be satisfied? Had heart set on siIicon but I want to be safe (capsular issues, rupture, age, future kids etc)....any thoughts?

I did silicone!! To me its the only way to go. I looked into it and did my homework. But I'm picky!! Loved that it can't leak into my body!! I looked up you tube videos and used Google.

Thanks for sharing your journey with this community. What type of implants to go with can be a big decision. Did your doctor give some reasons for recommending saline?

Yea he did...and truely his logic is sound...I'm assymetrical so saline is easier to place, shape and fill accurately...silicone is set sizes. Also rupture risk, salines just water basically, I'm young ,revision WILL happen. See? Good reasoning it's just that I've got this feeling that I need silicone.... I just feel like I'll kick myself if I get saline, you know what I mean? Not that they won't be wonderful, I'm just going to have that I wish I wish in the back of my mind

Ha, yes I think I get it! It sounds like you've done a lot of research. Good luck with your decision.

I have friends who went with Saline and they loved it. They had no ripples or leaks even ten years later. I originally thought I would go with saline for the peace of mind of having something that is potentially less toxic than silicone. Unfortunately, I do not have enough breast tissue to hide the saline so it would not be a good look. I too met with Hardesty. My pre op is in 2 days!! Are you leaning more towards symmetry or having them feel a little more real? Silicone feels very close to the real deal but I think that probably matters more when you don't have your own tissue to disguise it. All these choices make it so hard to decide!

Dang! I'm swimming in great info...confusing yet informative. Thanks for the reply....dr H says I have enough tissue for saline but I do want that good feeling. I want the silicone, cant help it. Been playing with the rice sizers and I think I might be lucky....meaning... (quite proud of this btw) I looked up the sizing chart for the sientra silicone...since the sizes are preset. I did the rice size or formula in reverse so I basically recreated several different sizes that the Sientra brand comes in....in the process of trying them on I think I may be lucky enough to be perfectly assymetrical....lol. that means, I might be so wonky that the set sizes might be perfect to make me even. Literally 30cc difference. Ha! I'll keep u posted....please keep me updated too...I'm very excited to see photos and posts about your experiences

That's such a good idea! I still need to do my rice sizers. That's on my list of things to do tonight.

You have plenty of time and it wouldnt hurt to visit a couple other doctors. It will help with your decision. I truly loved my PS and didn't, but now wish I had. Not necessarily to switch doctors but they all have different perspectives. Its good to educate yourself before diving into this.

Hi! I had my ba with Dr Hardesty 8 days ago.

I was also recommended to go with saline by him because I was asymmetrical and he'll be able to make me even during the surgery. But I ended up going with silicone instead. I really wanted the natural And softness, he also uses mentor silicone gell so when it ruptures it doesn't leak. I played around with rice sizer to estimate how much would make me even, and now with the 50cc implant difference it seems I might still be a tiny bit asymmetrical, maybe because I made a rice sizer too loose or something but it's still too early for me to tell. Either way I'm happy it's not as bad as it was before and still stand by my choice. You have plenty of time to research and decide. =]
