Thank you for your story. I've been following it. I am only at 4 weeks this Thursday. So like you always hoping for them to soften. What size did you put in. Not sure if I saw that. I have 270saline. Sometimes I feel they are strange feeling. Wonder if I should of done saline. I don't see too many saline implants. You look great and thank you for such a generous share!!

Thank you! I will look at your review:) I have 310 saline unders. They have gotten softer and less strange feeling over time. Most people are not getting saline anymore, but I didn't want to have to get MRI's every two years(and pay out of pocket) to check for silent rupture. Why did you decide on saline?

So I had my review up but I felt a little nervous about too much info. But mostly I couldn't put up my review without my PS info. When read all the other reviews they see their ps at very prescribed intervals , I'm a month out and saw him once at 12 days po! My next appt is in 5 weeks. Also the lack of instructions compared to most sometimes concerned me. I'm not saying he's isn't good. He came highly recommended so I didn't shop around but I'm over 50 so this was a big deal but anyways , i will wait for the outcome and post my whole review so I'm accurate. Right now I would say not sure. I selected saline for the same reasons. MRI expense ( but speaking to some people who have them said they never had an MRI ) also the extra $1,000 and the health consideration were factors. But here we are! This is why I also connected with you. Plus the BF of kids ( I estimated 80 months / 4 kids! ) I am 5'4 1/2" and 112. So 270 looks big. I think. Pain is better but still a little uncomfortable at the incision. I sometimes sleep braless. But mostly stick to a sports bra. I do appreciate your posts as I can relate! :)

I understand! I look forward to seeing your review when you're ready. I don't see many people with saline and I wonder if the outcome will be the same as with silicone. I get more comfortable with my size as time goes by, so hopefully you are happy with yours. I'm 5'6" and 120#. I think the 310 is good and I hope to get a little more lift out of them as well. My ps said saline and silicone end up looking the same and I've been very happy with him and what he says will happen has happened all along the process. Hope all is well with you and that your happy with the result.

I just looked at your pic. The size and shape looks perfect! Looks like you've already dropped nicely. Great results so far!

Thank you! I want to post my pictures but am still very self conscious. Lol. My husband thinks it's funny that I'm so shy. But I also think it helps others. Do most people know? Or have they noticed. I feel like I'm harbouring a big secret! But truly nobody noticed.

My younger kids didn't even notice! They are 6, 6 and 8, but my 20 year old daughter knows. None of my friends that I didn't tell have noticed. I'm wouldn't hesitate to tell someone if they asked, but am glad it hasn't been noticeable. I did not think I would post a review in this site either, but because I found it so helpful and reassuring I went ahead and put it all out there:)

I'm also scheduled with Dr. Yamahata and am wondering if they dropped and settled the way you hoped. I'm mostly worried about nipple position-eek! Thanks! :)

Everything is coming along well. I'm still happy with my results. Boobs are getting more round. Still hoping my areolas look higher once all is said and done. I am happy wit the size. I do think they look a little too big in clothes sometimes, but most ofthe time I'm very happy. I've worn an underwire bra a couple times now. I like the support I get from a real bra. I didn't really think I would need it, but I think clothes look better in a real bra. Sports bras also make the size and shape look good. After several hours the underwire feels a little uncomfortable underneath. Nothing major, but I do prefer the comfort of the soft bras and sports bras for long days. I'm still sleeping in a bra most nights. I can go without, but feel better with it on. My incisions are still well hidden in the crease. They are a bit bumpy still. I think I'm feeling the internal sutures. Hopefully those will dissolve over time. I see my Dr in a couple weeks for my follow up. I'm still happy I didn't get the lift even though I feel my areolas are lower than I'd like. I don't think the tradeoff with the scars would have been worth it for me. I'm also happy with the saline, less to worry about, I guess. I really don't think I'd be all that worried about silicone at this point and maybe the result would have been a little better. I do get some rippling when I bend over, but that's about it. The boobs don't feel quite natural but have softened up a lot more than I thought they would. Hope you're all doing great:)

I believe you and I are the only saline folks! I was wishing I did silicone or better yet the ideal implant. I probably would have worried about the silent rupture. Did you ever experience a squeak ? It's only my right breast , I'm told it's more common with saline because they could have air in them but eventually will go away. I'll be 5 weeks in a few days. You do look amazing. I don't think the look is different. Glad to know you are happy with saline.
