Breast augmentation question(s)

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

I have a question for those of you ladies who have gone through breast augmentation:

Did you choose subglandular or submuscular placement? Please explain why you chose that location in your response.

I'm leaning towards subglandular but wanted input from people who have actually done this.

Also, does the price go up based on how many years experience the doctor has? I'm considering 3 in my area and they range from 15-33 years experience. One in particular also does GRS, so I'm wondering if maybe he would be the better choice since he most likely has more experience with the MTF body frame for implant placement and surgery. Your thoughts?

I'll most likely have more questions once I actually have a consultation or 3.

Thanks, ladies!

I don't have augments, but I'm heavily considering them regardless of what HRT gives me, but I would certainly opt for the GRS surgeon. As you said, he will likely have more experience with the MTF body frame, competence, complications, etc. He might even give you a discount if you have multiple surgeries with him.

Sometimes the more seasoned doctors charge more, but do a despicable job due to overconfidence or the use of shortcuts. Personally, I would charge more if I could get away with it (but still make sure to give them what they're paying for to the best of my ability) so I'm thinking yes in the more experience = more $$ mindset.

I hope my rambling has helped in some way. LOL

God Bless

Hi Lizzie

I went with the gummy bear silicone implants placed under the muscle. It gives you a smoother, more natural look as part of the implant is under the muscle. Expect to feel weak in the upper body area for a couple weeks. You really notice the weakness when you pull yourself up from a chair or get out of bed. I learned how much you rely on your chest muscles, but they only effect you for a couple of weeks. You will love your new silhouette. Kathy

Do all of the implant procedures require general anesthetic. I'm afraid my girls may not grow to reach what i would like. I can live with that but am beginning to consider augmentation. Unfortunately general anesthetic isn't recommended with my health issues. I would rather live with some chicken cutlet pads than die in the effort to be more natural but maybe it is possible under local?

Hugs,
