concur with Val's comments, albeit from somewhat of a distant view (I never went under the knife for them) since I have seen a number of the surgical reports when we get medical records on client cases. In every instance, there are pre-surgical warnings given about allowances for time to allow the swelling to go down and other discussions about visual aesthetics in the first few weeks and months...
Last report I saw was on a client who went silicone at 470cc...she looks very natural now that a few years have elapsed. She was replacing saline that had been in place for about five years and a few kids...
