Hi Steph,
I did have implants put in with reconstruction and got silicone under the chest muscle. I was told the same thing about the skin being too thin to support the saline. I am happy with the way that they look, they are very natural looking, but I kept them relatively moderately sized at a 34 B. They did feel a little "hard", or "firm" at first, but things have loosened up quite a bit. I also had my nipple reconstruction 10 days ago and am very peased with the results. I am amazed at what can be done now. Just amazed.
Love, Kelly
