Answer 2

I'm about to be 20 y/o next month and I had them done in July of this year. I personally am very happy with my results. I made sure my surgeon knew exactly what I wanted because a lot of surgeons have a mind of their own about what looks good. I've heard of many women who woke up to a totally different size that what was discussed. Make sure you let him know you want no bigger or no smaller than ____. I have salines under the muscle. 320cc implants overfilled to 350cc and 360cc. I was previously a small to mid B cup. I am now a full C/baby D. I personally found the surgery to have no pain, only discomft. You're tight and extermely stiff. I don't remember much of the day of the surgery. I believe I slept a lot due to the anethesia. I of course, couldn't shower. Day 2, I saw my plastic surgeon and he removed the wrap and checked me out. I went home and had to have my BF help me shower and wash my hair. It was hard lifting my arms. I had the crease incision, under the breast. If you go through the armpit, you will definitely will not be able to lift up your arms at all. I'm not familiar with the belly button incision. The aeorola incision is more painful of course than the crease. If you go under the muscle, there's less chances of visible rippling. I have rippling. I had a lot of breast tissue to start off with too. It's just something that's pretty common. About 80% of women with implants have it. Fourtnately mine are not visible, only can be felt. There's also the chance of capsular contrancture which is a big deal. The scar tissue around the implants can tighten and frim, squeezing the implant, and causing it to feel horribly firm. If it's bad enough, it'll actually start to disfigure. Even though it's controversial, talk to your doctor about massaging. Most surgeons advise it. It helps to break down scar tissue and to keep the pockets open, so the implants have room to move around. Also I went back to work a week later. Stayed in a sports bra for 4 weeks. No heavy lifting or excercising for like 6 weeks. Best of luck. Oh and I dont know if you're into forums but the most beneficial one to me, where I learned the most about my implants was at www.breastimplants411.com. You'll need to create a user ID & password and it may possibly ask you to call in & verify yourself. That's because its very anti-men! Lol, well after that's done, click forum at the top then breast implant or augmentation discussion forum. You can browse the info, ask or answer questions. I LOVE that forum. The women are so nice and you really learn so much about what to expect from their at hand experience.

My aunt had augmentation after nursing two toddlers. It worked very well with her, and she was quite happy with the results. She had it done years and years ago and hasn't had any problems. Just keep your mind on the outcome and stay positive. Nervous is normal, but you'll be okay.

Answer 4

No, but there is a message board I think you will find quite helpful implantinfo.com go there, they can help you... Lots of women post on there, pics, and doctor profiles and so forth.... Also check out makemeheal.com for post surgery products ( my best friend had reconstruction after mastectomy and found these sites very useful, but most of the women on there are for augmentation not reconstruction so don't be shy )

Answer 5

Breast augmentation surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Tour2india4health Consultants .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Tour2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
