Thought I'd had 390cc's and I've had 435cc's!

Well it's official - I'm a dozy cow!

I've just opened a message from my clinic in Brussels (I had asked them for reference numbers for my implants to take up a warranty from the manufacturer) and my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I read the details:

'You have high profile, round, textured implants of 435cc of the brand Sebbin'

I was fairly laid back going into surgery and had given my surgeon a free hand to use whichever of the two sizes she felt was appropriate once she had opened me up. But I had been under the impression for 19 days that she had inserted 390cc's. Just shows what the GA does to your brain . I know it's just a number but I feel shocked and instantly bigger - nuts Will have to change my signature now...

Wow! Looking at them now, are you glad they are the bigger ones?

Actually yes I am! I think any smaller would have honestly begun to feel like a waste of time - now the swelling is beginning to subside I have a clearer idea of what they will end up like and I'm loving it!

Still shocked at how clueless I was on such a serious matter though.

Well that's a good surprise bet they will look great. Happy healing hun xxx

That's a lovely surprise for you Congrats xxx

YESSS!! Finally someone else that got Sebbin!!
I'm in Luxembourg and will have Sebbin too. They are so rare on this forum, so can I ask you questions please? How do they feel? Are they soft? Are you happy with them? How much warranty did they give you? Would you recommend them?

Hey xaxa

Such glee from you over finding a sebbins buddy ! Yes my sebbins and I are happy with each other. I can't compare them to others as I didn't actually have a choice, but at 20 days post op, I'm feeling increasingly soft and there's even some jiggle and bounce returning. Yay!!

The clinic in Brussels offer the following:

- 5 years guarantee on capsular contraction

- 1 year guarantee for a free re-intervention at clinic Beaucare
whenever there are problems after a surgery.




Sebbin offer some kind of warranty but I am still trying to complete the form so don't know what it is yet. However I am cutting and pasting a page from their website for your info:
