thank you for the clarification!!
i have saline, at the time i got them the weren't doing silicone.
i got them after i had my son -since my small b's went to medium a's.
i am now a Large C.
it really did hurt. i cannot stress this enough. it went in 3's for me. 3days was the worst, then 3weeks, then 3 months. they look very natural now. i actually got complimented on them while i was changing in the gym the other day!! so nice to hear.
i've had them since 2000 and would do it again. i plan to do it again (since i think you're supposed to every 7-10 years)
my mom wants a reduction and i totally agree with her if she wants to move forward. my sisters both have naturally large chests (large c's i think) and i'm so jealous. but mine have had less time to fight gravity
my dr. was great, it cost me $3200 for everything. but he did get on to me about my piercings...he said i'd need to choose!! so i took them out for the surgery and had my husband put them back in immediately afterwards.
i had it done under the crease of my breast and the scars healed very well. they did cause a lessening in sensation of nipple at first, but now they are MORe sensitive than before.
the dr. told me i was going too big, but i believe i got the perfect size. rule of thumb: when you try them on in your bra at the office, go UP one size from what you thinks looks best IF you are getting them UNDER the muscle, as it will contract the size. if you are a serious weight lifter/body builder etc, over the muscle might be better.
massage, massage, massage, don't stop massaging them ever or you will get capsular contracture where your boobs WiLL get hard. -plus, it feels nice anyway!-
hope that helps!
