I am preparing for round two of plastics and i need to decide if I want saline or silicon.  Can anyone share what is better please?  I don't want big ones, I am currently a C and I would like to stay a C, just sitting up, lol.  I my body is already in preportion, just want the girls to wake up.  My implants will be put under the muscle....how long it that recovery? Is it really painful?  Do silicon feel/act like real breast?  Any information would be wonderful.

Under the muscle? I've had three friends do implants and none had them under the muscle. One had saline that was intially adjustable (to stretch the skin) and ended at a D. One had saline and a C. The third had silicone and a C. I think the silicone and the C looks the most natural and I understand it's lighter too.

I think a C is great. My friend with the D looked like she had implants, they were well done but they looked little large for her frame and a little too perky at 40 something. Kind of gave her rack a prow of a ship kind of look (boy, I hope she never finds this post). I remember reading a research study years ago that said most men when tested with picture options and not knowing cup size actually prefer a C, I thought that was really interesting.

I haven't read any of the latest information on the safety of silicone recently. I know the old scare was it could cause fibromyalgia or similar but I understand that might not be a concern any more.

Bets of luck!

Thank you Britt, very helpful reply.  I am thinking that I will go with the full C, silicone under the muscle.  I have big hips and thighs and that would really balance me out.  Thanks again.

I had a TT done at the same time so I really can't tell you much about the recovery since the TT hurt bad! Here's my post on my before and after 2 weeks post op

Thank you ik1070 for your comment and post link.  You look great!  Your surgeon did a great job.  I agree, that TT hurt bad!  Well for the first few weeks then it got better. 

I will probably go with the silicone under the muscle and a full C.  That seems to be the consensus.  Thank you for sharing!!!

I went w/ silicone under the muscle. Just told my surgeon I wanted to look proportionate w/ my body & was looking at being a full C. Turns out I'm a D but it looks very natural. I have a friend who had saline and when we compared our hers definately looked and felt more fake.
