I am curious if people after years still like their breast implants. If so, where did you get it done and any side effects?
Thanks.

I'm still quite happy with my implants, 3 years later. I had a baby a year ago and I breastfed which made things extra tight in the beginning. The symmetry of size is just a little off but they look great and I feel really good about them. I have the kind which were puy in through the armpits so no scar, extra bonus. Mine were done in Toronto, CANADA. He even has an office, not an igloo. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wow.gif

Lucis, how much did it cost you and did they allow you to make payments?

The boob job cost me $6,000 CAN. I was allowed to make 12 payments of $500/month.

I've had mine for six months and I LOVE THEM! Mine are saline overs, I went from a C to a full D. My surgeon is Dr. Weiland in Las Vegas and he's AMAZING! I referred two girls, from AZ and CA, and they both used him and loved him as well. I paid $4300 for mine.

Did you make payments for those? Thanks for the name of the Doctor. I am starting a list of Dr's for down the rd when I get it done. Are the saline ones safer?

I paid cash, but I believe you can get financing. They also take credit cards.
There is an argument about the safety of silicone. A lot of women have it and swear by it, it feels a lot more natural I'm told. But then there are others who say if it leaks into your system that it's dangerous. I know in VEGAS if you want silicone, you have to be tested for it, so that sounds odd. I went w/ saline because it is definitely safe, your body just absorbs it if there's leak. And saline gives you more projection in my opinion. I would talk to the surgeon you choose and discuss the saline/silicone thing. There is also the choice of round or teardrop, smooth or textured, and over or under the muscle. Overs are what I have, you can get them if you have adequate breast tissue to begin with. And it was virtually pain free, I had hardly any pain. (I have heard unders hurt like hell) My incisions were on the nipple line. I also have smooth, round saline.

Vegas girl..thanks for info. This may sound wierd, but do you have any before and after pics?
