Over or under – did you get the choice? Started by: Abby

My surgeon decided as my chest muscles are too high if we went under it would cause an unnatural shape. Unders were only really developed to prevent the capsular contracture which now is reduced with textured implants. From the appearance in face value I don’t think you can tell whether they are unders overs. Unders I believe have a longer recovery too

I was advised unders. But the description my surgeon (not mya) said was if you put a bed sheet over a pile of bricks you will see the outline of the bricks more than if you put a duvet over the bricks. If you don’t have enough tissue to cover the implant then unders are better to cover the shape of the implant.
However if you have been given the choice then you probably have enough tissue to start with.
Like someone above has said, unders are held in place by your pectoral muscles. Mine are not high at all but I have breastfed so they have been stretched twice before my op!
Maybe just ask your surgeon what the pros and cons are for each and work out your decision by process of elimination?!
Good luck choosing xx
