I heard a lot of talk about costs of macrolane and how long it lasts before you need the injections re-done, but not so much about what the result looks like. I've seen a few pics that look reasonably good, but they are bound to be the best pics that the clinics could find, so personal opinions would be good.

There's a few links on here:

The main person to report on it (Highlandcow) doesn't seem too impressed with hers.

I had the macrolane injections 3 weeks ago. I was originally a loose B and am now a very full B, small C. I'm still in the recovery stage so the macrolane feels very firm and hasn't gone soft yet. The shape is also not very natural looking, as it's far too high and rounded. But this should improve in the next 2 weeks or so.

I wonder whether it will improve enough to really look natural? Could you get away with saying they were natural, that's what I'm curious about.

I had macrolane 6 weeks ago today. Even after this time the macrolane is still denser than my natural breast tissue, so just by touching gently it's easy to tell the difference. Then if I stick my finger into one of my breasts I can see the impression of my finger left behind, so it's a bit like plasticine or someting like that and it doesn't spring back like natural breast tissue would. As for appearance, it's reasonable but I have to say not convincingly natural looking. Put it this way, I don't think I would fool anyone naked.

Hello. I did have the injections done two days ago and i have been pretty much in pain since. I have been taking painkillers but only today (after the first 48 hours) it seems to be getting reasonably better!
The result for now is totally unnatural, but I hope , as suggested, that it will improove in the next few weeks.

Having had macrolane done myself I have to agree, you're not going to fool anyone naked.

I'm now three months post procedure. I agree with Cristina and Susan that the Macrolane has a plasticene like texture, i.e. not springy to the touch like natural breast tissue. Personally, I don't feel that I would fool anyone naked. Maybe in a photograph but not in the flesh.

My right and left breasts look slightly different shapes and from certain angles the profile of the breasts is not totally smooth. I have some quite large firm lumps, towards the armpit and in the underside of the breast so they are not immediately obvious but if you feel around you can detect them easily.

In clothing and underwear I don't think anyone would guess my breasts are not all natural but naked you can see that there's something odd about them.

Exactly right Highlandcow. In clothing and underwear nobody could guess, but naked it's pretty obvious.

I saw someone on TV who had it done. It looked pretty good when she had her bra on , very convincing. But when she too k her bra off her boobs did not look natural at all, yes looked like small implants.
