i had Breast Augmentation surgery 9 weeks ago. I had 700cc silicone placed. I had saline implants removed.


I went for my follow up and dr recommended a breast lift and/or pig skin not sure medical name. He mentioned my thin skin and said that was the reason for me have cold sensation on my breast and visible stretch marks. Do I need both?

I'm not sure about "pig skin" maybe he/she means acellular dermal matrix placement, very expensive! I would wait longer before making a decision to allow more healing. BTW are you unhappy? (more)
