Last week my best friend and I went to a Brest Augmentation Seminar given by a Plastic Surgeon I would really like to use for at least some of my PS .

I really learned a lot and was really impressed with the doc.

I REALLY Liked the doc, his personality , I already know someone who has used him and he's pretty well known in my area.

I learned some interesting things . I was on the fence between if i wanted Silicone or Saline before i went in and I am not sure i want silicone .

I am still about 35 pds from goal but Wanted to start looking around for PS's .

So Im glad i went over all ..

Thanks

I have not had implants yet, but if I have to choose I will to saline. If you get saline and they leak you are safe. The saline will just absorb into your body with no harm to you. If a silicone implant leaks... you are in trouble. Saline is lighter than silicone too. So saline is the best way to go in my opinion.

I think with the type of gel they use now, when it leaks it pretty much stays put but it's harder to tell they're leaking. Saline you can tell just by looking because they deflate. And you don't have to have them checked every 3 years like you do the silicone. But on the other hand they say they look and feel more natural, I think my saline look and feel natural maybe it has something to do with them being under the muscle I really don't know. Well guess I'll sign off because I'm starting to ramble.

My doc says silicone is the way to go. I am going in for surgery in 2 weeks and yesterday, I read all of the info that the doc sent me about risks and what could go wrong, etc.---and I am wavering!

Anyway, he wants to do silicone and place it ABOVE the muscle. Any thoughts on that? I am also having a lift. Since I am 5'1, I am going to go from a c to a full C.

I am 57 and quite active--work out almost every day.

Your opinion is appreciated.

Isn't it easier to detect breast cancer if the implant is behind the muscle?

I didn't think anyone did on top of the muscle anymore.

Karey, short term memory here, did you use saline or silicone and are you still happy with the results?

I had silicone, still love them!
