I got the silicone...yes they are way more $$ but they look wayyyy natural. As far as your incision....your doc know what might be a better fit for you. Instead of looking at statistics, look at realistics. Even if he didn't go through your nipple, you might have some other problem that's way worse than losing nipple sensation. The probability of losing sensation is actually on the low side. My doc went through my nip and my sensation is BETTER than what it was before surgery. Now isn't that great! Make sure you ask your doc as many questions as you can think of, also if there are any nurses in the office that have had procedures...they're a great resource! Do some research on your own about your docs suggestions as well as alternatives. Whichever you choose, good luck and hope it meets your expectations! Now, as far as this other plastic surgery...it's a touchy subject. Especially since you have teenagers (can't believe you have a teen by the way). Remember that ADDICTIONS have consequences. Just because one or two procedures satisfied you doesnt mean the third or fourth will. Having surgery...any surgery is a big risk. If you're willing to take such a big risk because you have a bulge here, and your thighs could look better there then go for it! I personally think my body could look way better! At the same time...I appreciate it for what it is. I have the back fat, the ripply thighs, bat wings as arms but I'm okay with it. This is what I signed up for...so I got it. That's my personal journey so that's how I view it...others view it differently. Just remember to think of the all the risks...medical, surgical, physical, emotional. Now as far as your teens...teens are SO uptight about their bodies in this time. I don't ever remember girls in my teens being so hard on thier bodies! My neice is 16 and she's always harping on her body...I tell her to embrace her nose that she's always complaining about and be happy she got a little bit of junk in the trunk! I gained a lil bit of weight back so I could HAVE a booty! Young women are SO impressionable at this time. I don't have children, but I'm sitting here thinking....if my mom changed almost everything on her body, where does that leave me? Should I do the same...I mean, I am a product of her so the same way she's changing this and that about her body, I should think the same about mine. It's a little different for us because we've had WLS and teens don't make that distinction. To be honest, it ain't all that pretty when some of us take our clothes off. I don't love what it looks like, but I like it just enough. These are my thoughts and opinions of course so don't think I'm placing them to your situation. Whichever you choose, hope its the right choice for YOU and YOU enjoy it!! April
