Posted: breast augmentation
I’m getting a breast augmentation close to the end of the year and I was wondering if I should get silicone or saline. I’ve heard there are pros and cons about both, so I’m curious. Also, should I put them on top or under the muscle? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
I had breast augmentation done January this year. I had silicone implants that were placed on top of the muscle. It’s up to the surgeon whether they are placed on top or underneath the muscle. If there is enough breast tissue, then they place them on top. The tissue then disguises the implants outline. They are placed underneath when there isn’t enough breast tissue to disguise it, otherwise they would like two grapefruits plonked on your chest. The silicone they use now has changed an awful lot over the years. I heard years ago that silicone was bad and could leak into your blood but was shocked when my surgeon said that he mostly used silicone implants. The silicone they use now is so dense that it’s like a really tough gel, so cannot leak out like previously had done. I don’t know about saline but I am really happy with my silicones! I was really surprised at how natural they feel now. When they were first done they were quite hard but that seems to go away as time goes on. Make sure that you are being seen by and operated on by a reputable surgeon. A friend of mine had hers done with "The Hospital Group" but she felt like they were waking her from the anasthetic and pushing her out of the door already! I went with "Spire Healthcare" and spent two nights in hospital after the operation. The aftercare was amazing as well. Don’t underestimate your recovery time either. I booked 10 days off work but had to take another week after that. It’s a big operation at the end of the day and your recovery is so important. Last of all enjoy your new boobies because the feeling afterwards is soooo amazing!!!
