I had it done several years ago and highly recommend it. I did it for me and am totally happy. Now mind you I wore a trainer bra up until the time I had the augmentation. My whole life family members didn't help matters either. Comments like carpinters dream, ironing board, if you stand sideways I bet the teacher counts you absent. G oing from a trainer bra to a D cup it took a couple of years to feel they were part of me.
I'll get a little graphic here. I had my implants done by a reconstructive surgeon, who recommended that the implants be placed under the muscle. Better to do the monthly lump exam and after the surgery your walking gently massages the breast and helps prevent incapsulation (harding). This method is a bit more painful but, in the long run better, they look (can't see or feel the ridge of the implant), feel and act more like natural breasts.
Is it painful. You bet you, I won't lie to you, it felt like someone has hit me with a baseball bat across the chest. Lasted a couple of days, but pain meds and antibiotics are prescribed.
The down side for me was when the doc removed the bandages, I was so swollen and black and blue I began crying hysterically and asked the doc to remove them. After he calmed me down, I got over it. Swelling went completely down in a couple of months.
Several years ago the cost was $3,700 dollars. Now the price included annual breast exams by my physician for the reast of my life. This was before the big implant scare and the price sky rocketed.
