They look great! What was the bra size that you ended up with? Also do you feel the saline swishing around like water inside or does it feel normal. I really want saline because it's safer but a lot women now are choosing silicone.

Silicone is amazing and won't leak or deflate like saline can! :) they also feel ALOT more natural.

You've definitely got to weigh the pros and cons. I refused silicone because they were recalled for nearly 15 years and you have to have MRIs every two years to check for ruptures in the implants, which your health insurance more than likely will not cover because its an effect of a cosmetic procedure. Yeah if my implants rupture, they'll deflate, but at least I don't have to worry about whether or not something is wrong. It'll be obvious. Lol

Please talk to you PS.... if Silicone breaks, they don't leak/deflate so there's no hurry to get them replaced, should it happen while on vacation! :) They've come a loooong way since 15 years ago. These days they are more like gummy bears where if they are cut in half, they still stay solid. I've had both! The first time I went with Saline because I was more on a budget but the second time around, I'm silicone and love them.... Do your research and good luck!

Thanks Raquelatx, I have my consult in a week and because my skin is so thin from weight gain and loss, I may have to go with silicone for a natural look.

It's been five days since my surgery and so far so good.. they are still sore but I've eased up on the pain medication. Can't wait til they fall into place. I went bra shopping couldn't resist Victoria secrets. Was having a sale. .

Went in on a Monday loved what I saw and heard...

Went in on a Monday loved what I saw and heard from Dr.K I booked for the next day.. I'm an A/B . I chose saline high profile 505cc. Garments are included in the procedure. The doctor went over the benefit of the size I chose based on my build. I wanted to provide myself with a Christmas present. I didn't breast feed but went through a massive a amount of weight loss. Dr. Kalso looked at my stomach for a possible tummy tuck. And suggested the fleur de leis technique...

Hi. I'm in Austin. Is the market in SA more affordable than Austin? How much will your augmentation be?

I found a doctor in Austin for 3800 Dr. Kerr. I just had my done on 12/23/14 . It was 4k for saline 5k for silicone as nd 6k for gummy. . There's a doctor in Austin charging 4950 for all three types name Dr gruemon i believe.

I chose saline

You can adjust the size to your liking. With the other two they come with a stsndard sizr depending on your chest width...

I was told by one doctor that i would need a lift. Looking at my before pictures there's obviously nothing to lift. Dr. K ensured me i would not. That was one of the reasons i went with him. I was able y o get in for surgery the next day and by booking before the end of the year i saved five hundred dollars. . Winning.. I'm so excited about my progress so far the pain in bearable. . I'm off work for the next two weeks anyway so it was a win win for me. I can now wear low cut shirt s if l like.
