Thanks! They feel pretty good right now... still a little firm, but they are still in the "dropping and fluffing" stage. They are silicon gel implants - no lift ( I thought about going the lift route instead but was freaked out by the extensive scarring). The rock hard boobs are overfilled saline implants. Over filled to reduce rippling, which saline is wont to do apparently. I had planned on silicon gel, and in fact only made a consultation appointment becuase it was finally FDA approved for cosmetic use (I thought about doing it for years). I felt both kinds of implants at the appointment and was shocked by the difference. The silicon felt like a boob - the saline felt like a ziplock bag with water in it. There's just no comparison, even with the silicon being about $1K more.

They tell you to plan to have them replaced in 10 years. Some last longer, some people have problems sooner. The cohesive gels (that arent approved yet) apparently last much longer. From my understanding, the subsequent surgeries are much easier to recover from becuase the dissection/pocket is already done.

Thank you

These sound like the sort of inquiries that someone who was thinking about obtaining augmentation would make. Please tell me you aren't seriously thinking of growing those two perfect little mounds of yours? Please?

Say it ain't so, LabRat... say it ain't so.

Wonder how it's done? NSFW

As LR is currently looking to conceive I doubt augmentation is likely in the near future.

Oh, thank the Gods. And trying to conceive is such fun, too!

All true. Wife got her fun bags last Thursday. Silicone. New stuff. If Momma's happy, I am happy.

Oh you MUST post PICS !!

Els, Bruce,

No, not currently looking to get an upgrade, Sundae is right. IF I did, it wouldn't be till I was sure I was done procreating.

Thanks jinx, for the reply.

I am on the fence. One day, I want to. The next I think Wow, too much time off of doing what I like to make it worth it. We'll see what I think after my SIL gets it done.

As it is, Mr. Rat can't keep his paws off 'em. He hardly needs more encouragement. :)


Oh, and the minute Mr. Rat got home on Friday, he told me to tell jinx to get those puppies out there and on here!!! (I told him to register and tell her himself, but here I am...)

she went back for the 'after' pics today.

;) ;) ;)

Do they put those online at the doctor's website. You know, like new babies. I mean, those are kinda like new babies.

I'm sensing a new money-making opportunity for the T-shirt 2007.

Tell me MORE !!!!

Oh, I got nothin', that's why I'm only sensing it
