The ripple effect
Let me just start off by saying I feel so lucky that I went to the best doctor ever =) I am so pleased with my surgery and like I have said before I would do it all over in a second. Unfortunately one of my friends is not as lucky as me. She got her surgery about 2 months before I did and she was psyched. Her breasts looked amazing. Well a couple days ago she came to me and said "I need you to come look at my implants" I was like oh no. So we went into the bathroom and she showed me. At first I couldn't really see anything and then she started moving around. I could see the bags under her skin. They weren't awful but they were definitely there. Then she was like feel, and all I could feel were all the little bumps underneath. It made me very thankful that I went to the doctor that I did.
I know that anything is possible and people's bodies are all different. I just feel that my doctor gave me a complete understanding of what to expect and why he put the size implants that he did. It is very important to feel comfortable with your surgeon. My friend is so upset and embarrassed by her surgery that she wants to get them redone. They really aren't that bad... but she wants to feel comfortable in her own body which is understandable.
My advice to anyone that is planning on getting this surgery done is do your research. There are so many different doctors out there you HAVE to find the one that is right for you!

I would like to know what kind of inmplants you and your friend received. I heard that rippling can occur with saline implants.
we both have saline. silicone was not available at the time that we both got out surgeries. She is actually going back to get silicone put in.
When did you get your implants, how long did it take you to go back to your everyday life, and what kind of maintenance is required?
Silicone - totally the way to go, though you still have to be careful. The key, like you say, is to go to the right surgeon.
I have been to 3 different Dr's for 3different consultations. I really liked 2 of them and have decided to go with one of them. He made myself and my husband very comfortable with the entire procedure with all pros and cons. My only questions is.... going into this type of procedure with not knowing much,except for your own research here and there and talking to dr's that pretty much tell you the same thing,how do you really know if "you" have the best dr? I understand trusting one is the key, which I do, however, going into this blind is kinda hard to determine which dr to pick.
