£2,200 MORE for anatomical vs round?

AARRRGGHHHH im so confused, im gonna have to google it! i really dont have a clue about something i should, seems i paid alot of money and its in my body!! she said i have allergan, and my booklet i brought home said implants cui on it??? lol

xx

It is extremely confusing I think Natrelle Allergen is a different product from Allergen CUI, the difference being Natrelle is FDA approved, and possibly a thicker implant? The letter I received actually said 'Allergen teardrops' with no mention of the word Natrelle?!

HHmmmmm i dont know!! im gonna have to ring to double check again... i just hope i dont have ones in that are more likely to split or anything, because i would have paid extra if i was asked or advised on better!

I don't think they're more likely to split, from what I've read they are one of the most common implants used so they can't have too many problems with them.

ah thats ok then, only time will tell i guess, im happy with mine :)
I do wonder tho how they can split etc when there inside your body?? ive pretty much been lucky form the minute i woke up, except the infection, but thats fine now so all good xx

I'm sure they are fine Lindsaylouise just different makes I know my allergen natrelle anotomicals are gummy bears lol xxxxx

Allergan is the brand. They make implants, botox, fillers etc.

CUI is a type of implant. It's silicone with a textured shell. It isn't FDA approved, and never will be. It was designed to be a cheaper implant with only a ten year guarantee.

Naturelle are another Allergen product, however these are a little bit more custom in design. As far as I'm aware they have a lifetime guarantee which basically means they're confident they'll never rupture. However ruptures can happen and they'll still need to be replaced after 10-20 years.

Ruptures can happen due to accidents (RTAs), heavy impact, product fault and wear and tear.

Ah thanks Roxychick... so it doesnt mean in 10 years they will break?! just the garantee, but like misf1 said b4 i think, at some point they will need to be done again, wether its 10 15 or 20 years, this is the same with all of them i guess.

Thanks for the clarification Roxychick!

Just to put this info out there for anyone researching-
I'm about to book my BA with THG

Natrelle Anatomicals was £4,795
Offer of £700 off after 8weeks of your intial consultation
(must book within 2 weeks of receiving offer)

= £4,095

Just wanted to add to the conversation, but only one specific bit, the haggling aspect I think Mr Shoaib is a BAAPS/ BAPRAS reg'd surgeon. Part of the criteria of a BAAPS/ BAPRAS surgeon is that they aren't allowed to haggle or undercut other offers. Can't remember the reason why though.

Well his base price is undercutting pretty much all other surgeons in Scotland, it's £2,999. I was a bit skeptical at the price before I booked my consult but he has lots of good reviews. I'm not going to try to haggle, I don't feel comfortable haggling over this.

I called the Spire Murrayfield in Edinburgh to book a consult with Mr. Quaba (it's this Monday). To get a feel for pricing I asked the receptionist what the price difference would be for teardrops instead of rounds and she said that she's pretty sure that there's no price difference, the surgery will be £4,700 regardless of implant (unless I require a more complex surgery such as a lift etc), I'll have to wait for my consultation to be 100 percent sure of the price though. I'm honestly not that worried about the total cost. I've been saving for years and years. This has left me uncomfortable about it and questioning whether I should even go through with it. I'm going to wait till Monday to see what Mr. Quaba recommends. If he recommends teardrops I am probably going to go with him. If he recommends rounds I am going to think about Mr. Shoaib again. But then my dillemma is that the last correspondence I had with the clinic, they relayed the message that I can still have the rounds done but I will probably not achieve the look I'm after. Sorry I'm just going round in circles now!!!

I would suggest having three or four more consultations to see what the general consensus is.

Here you go girls lol

Has anybody else heard this? If so, does anyone know if it is true and why this is?

I'm just thinking that with my problems with MyBreast etc (see my other thread) I may not be able to get a cheaper price from James privately if this is the case. Grrrrr

I haven't heard this. Kayla, can you point us in the direction where you might have seen it?
