Readers talking to each other about the parts of breast augmentation the consultations skim past: the weeks of second-guessing a size you can't change, the awkward propped-up sleeping, the scars and how long they took to fade. It's experience, not medical guidance, and the surgeon who reviews this site keeps an eye on the threads. Once a thread goes 60 days without a reply, it closes.
