Title: Breast Augmentation Experiences
Post by: Debra on February 24, 2012, 01:46:02 PM
So now that it's been almost a year since I had surgery, my vows of "never having surgery again" are starting to be forgotten. My A-cup boobs are still a source of dissatisfaction for me (even though my boyfriend loves them) and I'm starting to do some more research on all of the options (because there are many).

If any of you have had Breast Augmentation, could you help me (and any other prospective girls in the future) by talking about them in this thread please? I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

1. What surgeon did you go with and how long ago?
2. What cupsize did you start with and end with?
3. What CC did you go with?
4. Saline or Silicone gel?
5. What incision? (Armpit, belly button, areola, breast crease)
6. What profile (low, moderate, high)?
7. Did you lose (pleasure) sensitivity in your nipples?
8.  What shape? (teardrop, round, etc)
9. Are you happy with the results? (yes, too big, too small)
10. How bad was the recovery? (how painful for how long, etc)
11. Have you had any rupture problems or movement problems and/or had to have them worked on again?
12. Submuscular or subglandular? (over or under the muscle)
13. How much did the surgery cost you?

I'm sure I'll think of more later but that's a pretty good set of questions there. Appreciate any input! Thanks =)

1. What surgeon did you go with and how long ago?

Dr. Escobar from Cali, Colombia 5 years ago.

2. What cupsize did you start with and end with?

32A at the time, ended with 36B.

3. What CC did you go with?

375 CC's.

4. Saline or Silicone gel?

Cohesive gel.

5. What incision? (Armpit, belly button, areola, breast crease)

Aeola.

6. What profile (low, moderate, high)?

Don't understand, sorry.

7. Did you lose (pleasure) sensitivity in your nipples?

Not at all. They are VERY sensitive.

8.  What shape? (teardrop, round, etc)

I would say teardrop or pear shaped.

9. Are you happy with the results? (yes, too big, too small)

For the most part yes but I think I should have gone a little bit bigger due to the size of my back/shoulders.

10. How bad was the recovery? (how painful for how long, etc)

Not painful at all, just mild discomfort.

11. Have you had any rupture problems or movement problems and/or had to have them worked on again?

No, thank God.

12. Submuscular or subglandular? (over or under the muscle)

Under.

13. How much did the surgery cost you?

About $2,500 USD.
