Just met with my plastic surgeon today. B's C's D's, saline, gel, high-profile, textured, smooth, etc.... So many choices not enough knowledge.

Anybody out there have any good advice or what their preference was?

My surgery is scheduled for Oct 30th, I am having a double mastectomy w/expanders. I know I have some time to decide but there are soo many choices.

    Ask your surgeon to see pictures. They take before and after pics so you can make the right decision.

    I choose to have the silicon vs. the saline. Silicon was more natural and not as heavy....

    I, like VickiSam am very interested in this subject as well. I'm considering a prophlatic masectomy and would like to hear what the reconstruction process is like.

    I cannot help, but I await other's experiences.
