BREAST IMPLANT SURGERY COMMENTS: I think he did the best he could, but i don't feel he informed me as well as he could have about size and placement. My breasts fall into my armpit upon laying down, and they are too big for my frame. I also have a big gap in between my breasts which was not as big before the breast implants.

CHANGES IN NIPPLE SENSATION: Very sensitive for sometime after I had it done, but it eventually went away. But they're still overly sensitive to hot and cold.
WORST PART OF SURGERY: The wait. After I made the appointment it seemed like and eternity. I thought the anxiety was going to give me a heart attack!
Has anyone made any negative remarks to you about your surgery?: Nothing directly to my face but when I've overheard people in my office speculating about it when they thought I was out of earshot. I don't mind though. For the most part, I've gotten far more POSITIVE comments from men and many of my girl friends. I was lucky and got fantastic results. Some guys I've been with think actually think they're real! (I don't spoil it for them).
COMMENT: I consider it amongst the best things I've ever decided to do for myself. I haven't had any problems to date (knock on wood!) but I'll probably be getting them replaced soon anyhow. Will go bigger this time. Probably somewhere around 680 to 700 (overfilled by 50). Good luck to all those considering it or already scheduled! You won't regret it.

SHAPE COMMENTS: It was explained to me at the time that the anatomical implants had a more risks of rippling along the bottom of the implant and of not staying in place. The implants that I have are specially textured to keep from rippling. I have been happy up until this past year. I'm noticing some rippling and have seen a new implant in ads that look like a more natural shape.
