I almost went through with this approx 3 years ago but chickened out. I wasn't comfortable with the risks and maintenance involved with silicone and figured I'd be too thin for saline without it looking like..... well saline... LOL. There's a new-ish (2014) implant on the market that has resolved my concerns. I'm going to get the IDEAL structured saline. I do realize that all implants have a silicone shell but I'm less concerned about that than the risk associated with silent rupture of a silicone gel implant. I have met with Dr. Bao Phan. My husband and I both really liked what he had to say. He even took the time to give us a tour of his facility. He spent 1.5 hrs talking with us, insuring we are well informed.

IDEAL Saline Implants - Honolulu, HI
It's been about 3 years since I last researched buying boobs. I'm the big 4-0 now. I didn't feel comfortable wth the risks of silicone and I didn't like the idea of saline based on the fact that I'm pretty thin and was worried they'd not look right on me. Anyway, glad I put it off. I'm pretty excited about the new IDEAL Structured Saline implants. I have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Bao L. Phan on 17 Mar 2017. I'll let you know how it goes.

Chicken
So I'm putting this off for now. I'm a chicken. The Dr. office was really nice about it. I was able to get my $1500 deposit back and they said to please give them a call if I have any questions and/or change my mind.

I didn't read any explant reviews at all before surgery. That would have scared me too. It's a big decision, so go with your gut. I'm extremely happy with mine over the muscle (225 silicone) and had NO pain with recovery and returned to yoga and the gym within a few weeks without ANY problems at all. At 4 weeks I was doing push-ups even without any weird feelings. The smaller the implant, the less likely the complications with overs also. I still think it was an amazing decision for me to go through with it (I've always liked my small boobs, but now I am in awe of them). It was worth it to me to take the risk. You do what you need to do, though to take care of yourself.

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! :) If in the future you change your mind again, keep this in mind: yes, there are risks and yes, some of them are truly horrible - but the odds of any of those things happening are pretty small. Ultimately, you have to do what's right for you, and this is definitely a decision you want to be comfortable with! It's like my PS said, the risks are very small but if it's gonna make you lose sleep worrying about the what-ifs then it's just not worth it! Kudos to you for not pushing yourself into doing this if you're not quite there yet!

I think you've made the right choice for yourself by postponing the surgery. Breast augmentation is not for everyone! I think your natural breasts are beautiful. :)
