would you get silicone breast implants? So silicone has once again been approved in the US. They did extensive safety studies over the past 15 years and it turns out they are just as safe as saline. my question to all the women out there who are considering implants....now that they are approved...would you choose them over saline? just an FYI--they look and feel 100x more natural than saline. Looking for input from women who are considering implants, not necessarily just anyone. Thanks.
Living in fear everyday I am totally confused 25 years ago Doctors explained how safe silicone breast implants are.1990's the FDA started restricting access to silicone gel breast implants.The FDA study, publised in September,2000, showed that many women with silicone implants were broken and leaking without them knowing it.48%women after 6 to 10 years had at least one ruptured implant and they didn't know it.The actual breakage rate is even higher.There are studies of serious health risks when silicone migrates to vital organs . Knowing what we know today.For somthing to be so bad for you and the FDA has band it .For all the women that were told by their doctors that they were safe.Now we know not. Insurance now refuses to cover complications.Surgery cost has doubled since.Having a toxic substance in you shouldn't some of the medical expense be reduced.I can't afford the surgery and I can be slowly killing my organs.I just don't understand if the FDA has band them why don't they get after the doctors to take them out. Should doctors do it at no cost or reduced rate because they are toxic I was 18yearsold when i had it done it was more of my mothers choice and the doctor choice .I WAS NOT TOLD THE SUBSTANCE WAS TOXIC !!!!!!!!!!!I iF YOU CAN'T HAVE A HERAT AND FEEL FOR THE PERSON THAT HAS TOXINS IN THEIR BODY SLOW KILLING THEIR ORGANS .DONO'T ANSWER MY QUESTION. IT IS UPSETTING ENOUGH WITHOUT HEAR COLD HARSH STATEMENTS.THIS IS MY HEALTH THAT IS A CONCERN IT'S NOT ABOUT A CHOICE THAT I CHOSE 25 YEARS AGO .I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT ANYTHING BAD COULD HAPPEN.IF I HAD KNOW I WOULD HAVE TOXIONS IN MY BODY DO YOU THINK I WOULD OF HAD IT DONE?YES I FEEL THE DOCTOR HAS A RESPONSIBILITY AND ALL THAT PLAYED PART AND MADE MONEY OFF ME BY PUTTING TOXINS IN ME.
air bubble in breast ( had silicone breast implants 3 months ago) ? I only feel it when I shower or when I put lotion. When dry I don't feel it. It is in my left breast . I know that doctors fill the breasts with air before they put the implants in to see if the size chosen is appropriate, but they deflate them from air before putting the implants in . Could it be that the Dr. didn't deflate it completely, or do you think this is something else?
Does anyone know the weight of 400cc silicone breast implants?? Thank you!! I got them last march and somehow I have gained like 10 pounds and Im not sure how much of it is because of the implants :) No I dont look distorted at all... and i know how to subtract, i think i gained weight besides them so Im curious if anyone knows the actual weight of the implants. Thank you yahooaddict!!! I like my weight now Im 114... I was just curious!! :) Thank you!!!
How can I make a fake saline or silicone breast implant for a Halloween costume? So, I'm going to be a plastic surgeon for Halloween-- scrubs, scalpel, lots of blood and I want to be holding a breast implant in one hand. For me, the breast implant makes the costume, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to get one, or get something that looks enough like it. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? ...I'm also not looking to spend too much money.
I got silicone breast implants 9 weeks ago.? I feel great and they look proportionate to my body. How long will it be before they "fall" into place. My doctor said that "the muscles will get tired of holding on and give up soon." They look great, but ride a bit high still. I am only concerned because my goal is to have a very natural look and do NOT want to have that "plasticy" look. I am a wife and a mom and am not in the market for a surplus of attention to my body. I suppose that I should elaborate since I have a few judgemental readers. I lost 120 pounds, gave birth and nursed my son for a full year. After a long road of trying to improve my health and serving my child, I felt good about restoring a part of my body that caused me a lot of shame and embarrassment, even in the presence of my own husband.
Is it a law in every state that you have to be 22 or older to get silicone breast implants? I saw a few doctors in CT who won't do it unless your 22 or older, but I know people who work for plastic surgeons who say they've never heard of that law before...do only some surgeons have that rule or is it everyone? And is it that way in every state? By the way, no judgment please, I just want an answer to my question, I don't want peoples' opinions or judgments about fake boobs or anything like that....thanks! :)
air "lump" in 4 month old silicone implants? i had silicone breast implants placed above the muscle on may 21 with out any complications. now i am having a small, semi-hard lump on the right breast by my cleavage which is also creating a flat like spot next to it. when i press on the lump, it feels like an air bubble. i can pinch the lump, it feels like a piece of soft, folded plastic. any idea what this could be? i have an appt. with my plastic surgeon tomorrow. thank you.
Are breast implants worth the money and pain? I am considering getting breast implants this May and I wanted to get some info from some women that already have them. I am going with a silicone implant to become a C cup. I just wanted to know how bad it hurt, have you had any problems, how bad is the scarring,and do they feel real? Also, are you happy you did it or do you wish you would have never had the surgery? Thanks so much!!
How do you cast a silicone doll's head? What material do you use to sculpt the original [would modelling clay suffice?], what material would I need to cast the mold, are there specific types of silicone specific to doll heads, and what type of paint would you use to color the eyes, detail skin, etc. ? I've tried looking online, but I keep finding "silicone breast implants, silicone house siding". Please help!
What kind of breast implants are better? Saline or Silicone? Which has less complications & procedure is best? A friend of mine has just signed up on a website called myfreeimplants.com where guys contribute money & donations for girls to get breast implants that they wanted. My friend wanted to know which were better, silicone or saline & which has less complications. Also which procedure of surgery is better? They have the options of going through the navel, under the armpit, the breast, nipple, & over the muscle & under the muscle. She cant afford a consultation w/ a doctor yet so just wondering from people that knew or based on experience...thanks!!
what is the procedure for replacing breast implants? i have had silicone implants for over 17 years. I did not know at the time that I would most likley have to have them replaced atleast once. I have got a lump in one and was checked out is most likley caused by a wrinkle or some such thing in one of the implants. I would like to have them taken out and replaced with smaller ones and since i have this lump issue it would seem like a good time. does anyone know exactly how that procedure works out. i am really concerned with the idea of surgeons taking out the old ones and causing possible leakage or breakage, ect. thankl
How do Breast Implants feel for patient inside? Hi, I will be getting silicone gel implants soon and I was just curious if anybody has had any experience with them. How does it feel to have them inside of you? Do you get used to them or do you always know they are there? Has anybody been able to tell they were implants? Any info on this topic is greatly appreciated! THANKS!
Breast implants?Which one is better, saline or silicone gel? Im about to have breast implants and I dont know which one is best. I asked people and I checked the internet, but opinion varies.. and I would appreciate some advice from some one who had them done already. I will speak to the doctor as well but I want to know something about them, I dont wanna be clueless.. Thanks
Breast Implants: Saline or Silicone??? I've posted this question before but early hours in the morning so I didn't get as much info as I was hoping so I thought I'd give it another go.. I know Saline is safer because of the salt water, they are a little cheaper. They last approx 10yrs but they don't look or feel as natural... The Silicone is dearer, a bit more dangerous because it's hard to tell if they are leaking. However they do look and feel more natural and they also last approx 25 yrs. I'm finiding it difficult to choose between them both and I think it might help to find out more advantages/disadvantages.. or others opinions on what is best? When I make a consultation they will probably recommend what is best for my body type but I'd like to find out more info from others.. I'm 20 and I was hoping to get them done within the next year.. Not planning on having kids at the moment, maybe 6 years or so Thanks for any help

Pros and Cons of Breast Implants? (I'm 18.)I went to see a plastic surgeon to ask a few questions about operations I was considering. He told me that my nose and my lips were perfectly fine, however, my breasts were slightly asymmetrical and the left one was smaller than the other. I always knew that and it didn't bother me that much. But he also said that my left one was more "tubular" (it had a more puffy (?) aerola) I would love to get fuller, more symmetrical breasts but I don't want to have a visible scar and don't want to have other operations 5-10 years later, or have deformed breasts after I take the silicone implants out. Please list all the risks I would be taking if I go through with this. I also don't want my breasts to feel weird and stiff and look like basketballs. Thanks.
Serious questions about breast implants - for people who have had them!? Hi, I'm due to have breast implants at the beginning of June due to severe asymmetry, and I have some questions for people who have had them done. I am having silicone implants placed under the muscle. I can't remember the cc, but they will take me to about a C cup. 1) How long did you have to take off work? I was told about 2 weeks - is this realistic? 2) How much pain were you in after the surgery, and how long did it last? 3 How long did it take for the swelling to go down? 4) I run 3 miles a day, and do alot of crunches etc - how long did it take before you could start exercising again (assuming you do of course!) I think that's it for now - if I think of any more I'll edit the question. Thanks in advance!!
Getting breast implants with fat from other places on your body? I heard about an alternative to getting silicone implants (the water bags), where they basically liposuction the fat from other places on your body (if you have some spare) and put it in your breasts.......is this a real procedure? That sounds really weird....
Breast implants?? Y are implants silicone or whatever? y cant they take fat from other places in the body and put it in the breast? wouldnt that be healthier?
Considering Breast Implants? I am going to be 18 in 6 months, I have always known that my breast wouldn't develop all that much. I have known that I have wanted breast implants for a very long time. In what state can an 18 year old get the new silicone gel implants? When I have children, will I be able to breast feed?
New breast implants? I had silicone implants done years ago and although I've had no problem, I'd like to have a new set, larger implants done. My plastic sugeon said it's a bit more painful since there's scar tissue now surrounding the implants. That was a few years ago and now I'm seriously considering doing it. I'm out of work so this is a perfect time to recoup. Has anyone had new implants put in and was size did you go from/to? I'm not a 38C but I feel that I can carry larger ones....and would like them. Please comment.......
Help, please anyone who has had breast implants, Please help? I just got implants 4 days ago. I know that they are swollen now but they are hard as rocks. I got silicone implants so they would feel more natural. But how they feel now I can't imagine them being soft. Do they usually feel like little bowling balls? My husband isn't going to want to play with these. Please ease my mind that they will feel significantly different. PLEASE
Considering Breast Implants? I am currently a 34B and I want to be a 34 "spilling" C. I think that it would be more proportional to my frame. Has anyone only gone up 1-1.5 cup sizes? What is a good price for the surgery? What type of implant did you get? I want the round silicone implant with the textured outside. How tolerable was the recovery period?
Breast implant? I was diagnosed with breast cancer about 3 years ago, had a mastectomy on my left breast and then later after chemo I had breast reconstruction done with a silicone breast implant. Has anyone ever experience itching inside the implanted breast? I get itchy inside the implant and can't feel the skin on the outside...It's weird! What does this mean?
Breast Implants or Implanted bra???? Noted Israeli plastic surgeon Eyal Gur said in August that he expects approval next year for his revolutionary breast-lift procedure ("an internal bra") in which an actual thin titanium bra-like frame is implanted just under the skin with silicone cups to hold the breasts up. Dr. Gur said the procedure will be quicker (40 minutes long), less invasive (local anesthesia only) and less expensive (no hospital stay) than today's breast lifts. [Sydney Morning Herald, 8-23-07]
Should my wife get silicone implants? My wife is considering implants. She has AA cup breasts, (A cup if she is taking birth control). She wants to fit better in her clothes. I've done a lot of research on the topic and looked at a lot of photos. Alot of people say they are gross, yada yada. Some look alot better than others. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with the newly re-approved silicone implants? I ask because i wonder if Saline is the cause of the bad rap. I'd like to hear from a guy who has actually felt them with his own hands (i.e.: silicone implants), Are they gross? A turn off? Good idea or not? She wants to fit better in her clothes. I worry that it may be a mistake. Like anything else, I'd like to hear from someone who has actually seen the latest and greatest and not referring to some bad boob job they saw in the 80s. Women feel free to reply with your comments as well. Thanks for your replies in advance everyone!
Question about Breast Implants? Okay, I am considering breast implants -- I don't want HUGE breasts cuz I'm a petite girl, just want a fuller bustline thats porportionate to my body (I'm petite but I'm not too thin -- pretty curvy and full).... SOOOO my question is -- anyone who has gotten breast implants, are you happy with your results? Were they saline or silicone? Is it true your nipples stay hard ... hmmmm any feedback would help. Thanks!
What is with the negative comments made about women with breast implants? I have had my implants for about a year and a half and I LOVE THEM. I have improved my size to a 38DD. They do not feel like bowling balls or beach balls, they are cohesive silicone gel and they are considered the cadillac of implants. They move when I do, and they are a gummy consistency. If I wouldnt tell you that they are not real, you would never know. The only difference is, they do not sag like real ones. I can go out in a tight shirt or tube top and they look fabulous, not like they need to be picked up and holstered like the real ones do!!!! I do have my hair highlighted, my large breast implants, my legs and bikini waxed, my nails done, I tan regularly, and I sometimes wear artificial eyelashes!! Does that make me bad.....hell no. That makes me a person who cares about my appearance!! Those things make ME feel good, and if any of the other jealous women out there that don't like it, then........kiss my "high maintenance a s s!!!" I do these things for me - not for you. For those of you that say it is "SILLY" to do these things....I have 3 words for you......NOT YOUR BUSINESS!!!! I dont give you crap for the way you landscape your yard, or the way you decorate your home, or for the brand of car you drive, so lay off. If those people would just keep their nose in their own business - we wouldnt have to defend a personal decision that we make. Notice I said....PERSONAL decision. Not GROUP decision. For anyone thinking of getting them or anyone who has them..... GOOD FOR YOU. And I say, if you can afford those things and they make you feel good.......go for it. And as far as the comments that women that get them are not attractive or smart......I beg to differ.....I am very intelligent and beautiful. Comments like this are usually made by bitter, ignorant, unattractive, desirous females who wish they could look like us!!!!!
I need to know some things about breast implants such as...? I know there are different kinds of implants made of different materials such as saline and silicone...I would like the know more about each such as the pros and cons of each and if there are any other options out there to enlarge my breast size.
For Girls who know a lot about or have had breast implants? I have a B cup sized breasts. I am not looking to get huge boobs or anything just something fuller. Are the silicone ones the ones that feel the softest and most natural? I am kind of clueless. I don't want it to be obvious I have implants I just want to maybe have a full C or so do you know what I mean? It would make me feel much more comfortable about myself, and I am trying to lose weight so I know my boobs will get even smaller eventually lol.
Why do women with real breasts hate on girls with implants? Well, not all of them. I understand it doesn't feel good when your boyfriend is drooling over a gorgeous, butter-soft pair of silicones. But some girls, especially when with their female friends, act like total clowns when they see a beautiful woman with breast implants. They giggle, make loud obnoxious comments, sometimes even scream things like "Oh, does she think she looks good!!!". It makes you wonder...It's us, women with plastic surgeries who are accused of being "insecure". Yet, how "secure" can you be with your own natural breast if you make a circus scene when you see a woman walking by with an obvious great boob-job? Someone wrote underneath: 'Natural is nicer feeling". I don't know where you're from and how many breast implants have you felt in your life, but I can assure you that I have silicone implants from Belgium that feel SOFTER than natural breats. It's a common misconception that real breasts feel "better", because most breast implants are made out of cheap, hard saline and inserted to look like 2 tennis balls. To "Sunraeonesunrae": you couldn't be anymore wrong. When I first got my implants, I was a fitness model. It wasn't "for the men" as you claim. And it's never men laughing at me or making nasty comments- it's ALWAYS women. Coincidence? You claim that 'fake looks fake". Not if your breasts cost 30 grand. They don't look fake- they look perfect. To someone who's used to flat or saggy breasts that always need a push up bra, perfect implants may look "fake". Just why do these "happy" women scream and laugh and act like total idiots when they see the perfect breasts? To "Wishorstish": When you live in a cage of rules & ethics, it's easy to love your body "as it is". I'm free-spirited, beautiful, rich, loved & adored by men- why should I love something on my body that just doesn't "match" (My butt is nice & full)? I think it's sad that women like yourself are so judgmental, living in this "YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOUR REAL BODY" world. I loved my real body. Only I love my fake body even more.
Breast Implants? Im considering implants. Id like to hear from women who have them. Saline or Silicone? Point of entry? Size you were and size you went to? How you found the right doctor? How long you have had implants? How you like them? Also I am allergic to vikodan, does anyone know what meds they usually prescribe to help with the pain? PS - As Cher once said "Im an adult, I'll can have T!T$ sewn onto my back if I want and its no ones business" I dont need to hear opinions on why I shouldnt get implants. I know the risks and I dont need any lectures.
About breast implants? Courtney Cox has the BEST rack. I believe they are implants and if so heres my question: What kind are they? Silicone ,saline or something new? What can you use to get the biggest increase without that horribly fake look?
Breast Implants: Advice needed from the women that have them.? After having 2 children, nursing them, getting her body back into pre-pregnancy shape, my wife has gone from a B cup to an A cup. She is very self concious and wants implants. It's not a priority to me, I think she is a knock out. I've always been a leg and bum man too. I love her and if it makes her happy so be it. I need suggestions/advice on the following: She is 5'5'' a size 4 Cup size she should go to (currently down to an A)? How much recovery time should she expect to need? (we have 2 in diapers still) How long after surgery should I expect to be hands off? Is submuscular the best way to go? Silicone is out of the question! What else should she consider in the decision process?
How much do my breast implants weigh? I recently got implants and I want to know how much they weigh or where I could possibly find out the info...I have 325cc in one and 425cc in the other. I have silicone. I have the Cohesive Gel implants and one is a 325cc and the other is a 425cc. Thank you.
What is Silicone? I understand that silicone and silicates are similiar. I also know that it is used in glass, semiconductors, concrete, bricks,pottery, breast implants, lubricants, sealants and adhesives... Kind of a stretch to go from bricks to implants. even stranger to go from lubricants to adhesives. What gives?
Natural or silicone? Maybe this is an age thing (on our part), but why do the majority of women in the glamour/porn industry, opt for silicone implants when nearly every man I know, and have spoken to, says he's prefers natural breasts, whatever their size? I don't know how I've managed this, but I've put this in the gay/lesbian section. Sorry.
Good reason to get a boob job? JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli woman's breast implants saved her life when she was wounded in a Hizbollah rocket attack during Israel's war with the Lebanese group, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday. Doctors found shrapnel embedded in the silicone implants, just inches from the 24-year-old's heart. "She was saved from death," said a spokesman for Nahariya Hospital in northern Israel. The woman has been released from hospital. MAKES ME A BIT OF A BELIEVER!

Anyone know a good plastic surgeon in Orange County? I need to get reconstructive surgery of silicone in breast and new implants. Does anyone have experience with doctors in Los Angeles or Orange County area? Latina clearly didnt read the ques. I already have silicone.
Real or False,One for the men out there? Do men prefer natural big breats or silicone enhanced,some of the breast implants I`v seen look more like footballs stuffed into their bras and why do they need bras anyway,they stay up on there own.I have large breasts(38E)and,they are very firm.Has anyone got a girlfreind who has them and do they feel natural and still have sensation in their nipples.Sometimes you see some girls whose breasts seem to be just fixed in one place,with no natural movement.Are men worried about them exploding if they squash them during sex.I`m not a lesbian,I`m just curious
white women trying to look black? I know a lot of you whites will be offended, this is not to offend anyone I just think its very true and I can care less what you all think* lol A lot of white women now a day try so hard to look black. A friend of mine just got out of surgery. She's white. She had collagen injections because her lips were extremely grossly thin (like all white girls), she had Buttock augmentation (where they add silicone to her butt), and breast implants (as we all know white women have no breast), and she now leaves her hair dry and full like black women do. She tans constantly (looks orange). In total she looks like a MESS! My question is: why don't white women just accept who they are? Yes, white women are flat chested, have the same thin hair, no lips nor color but why do they try so hard to have what black women have? Its obvious it will never be that way even with the surgery. Its genetics. So why try so hard even if it looks â?¦well â?¦FAKE? For thos who have no idea of the procedure. http://nerve.org/images/butt.jpg http://www.aaronstonemd.com/images/breastaug6.jpg http://www.miamibeach411.com/cosmetic/pro_lip_photos.html White men look gross too but thats a different story.
Am I a Hypocrite? I have tiny breasts and rather broad hips. I wear silicone fillings in my bra to balance my appearance and I think I look a lot better like this. However, I would NEVER ever get breast implants. Do you think I am a hypocrite for that?
Many questions about Breast Augmentation? I am 23 and considering possible breast augmentation in the future. One breast is an A and the other a full B cup (very uneven!)...and I'm looking to get full C's. I don't have children yet but probably will in the future...so breastfeeding is something to consider. I'm just wondering what the best route is to take? I don't want to look like a pornstar. I just want to look normal and EVEN-breasted. Anyone who has had this done, please give advice! Thank you! *If you had it done, how much did it cost? *Is it better to get implants above or below the muscle? Which way feels more natural? *Through belly? Armpit? Breast fold? *How long was recovery? *Saline or Silicone?
Implants wanted.? Long story short...it am planning to have breast augmentation as soon as it is financially possible. I have seen 2 doctors for consultations and they both agree that extreme weight loss and a year of nursing a baby have left me a good candidate for the procedure. They differ in opinion about saline vs. silicone. Any advice, i.e., pros and cons of each would be appreciated.
