Hi S.!
I think if this is something you really want to do, then go for it! But I will tell you some things that a doctor may not tell you. You have to have them replaced every 10-15 years. My mother in law got hers replaced last year as well as a tummy tuck at the same time. She got a blood clot on her lung from sugery and the doctors said if the clot would have been an inch over it would have been fatal. Sorry Im not really answering your question but I thought I would throw that out there. I really wanted to get mine done before my MIL went through all of that, but decided since I have two beautiful children, its just too risky for me. I do know from her experience you will be useless for about a week 1/2 and really need help from others. After that I think it gets a lot easier! Good luck with everything and ask lots of questions! I hope everything turns out great for you!
**I would like to add some things. Yes there are risks with this just like other surgeries, actually plastic surgery is more high risk than most sugergies. People will tell you there is risks in every sugery, YES there is but getting breast implants is a voluntary sugery, where getting your appendix taken out is not. You get your appendix out to save your life, if something happens during that surgery no you cannot control it but if you didnt have the surgery what would the consequence be? But if something happens to you during plastic surgery that you voluntarily did how would you feel about yourself? Sorry, didnt mean to get that deep with it but I dont think any surgery should be taken lightly and when people say its no big deal, I disagree. I sort of cringed when I read someone could not hold their 5 month old for 2 weeks! No way! That alone would make my decision. Again I dont think anyone should stop you from doing what you want to do, but I think you should be aware of EVERYTHING before you do it!
