Okay so after about ten consultations and a year's deliberation I *think* I have decided to go with MYA (I'm in the UK) given that they were the only company to responsibly replace PIP implants when that happened, and that they've done a lot of celebs. They've given me three surgeons to choose from to have a look at, I'm under no obligation as yet.
I am so nervous of being put under, and I told her this and she offered me local anaesthetic with sedation, as an alternative. I'd just about talked myself into being okay about a general, and now I have a decision to make and It's just made it all more difficult!Aargh.
I've been looking at the MYA forum and a few girls have had sedation, said sedation was fine,but most girls I know had it under general. I'm just not sure. My Mother has told me if she could in any way avoid a general she would, as it makes you feel so unwell afterwards, and because of the risks of it.
I've never had a general..I AM scared of it, but I don't think I am any LESS scared of local to be honest. The thought of someone chopping away at me whilst I am just in a daze and not fully unconscious terrifies me, but then I spoke to the girl on reception who had it done that way and she said it was fine, she drifted in and out of sleep, couldn't feel anything and wasn't really aware of what was going on. Obviously in a general, you're completely out of it.
What does anybody think?
