Borderline Uplift/Implant

Hey Everyone

Had my consultation on Friday and been offered either smaller implants (315cc – felt right) and an uplift (due to volume loss) or bigger implants (400cc – felt enormous!) both over the muscle as I’m very active weightlifting and also teach Pilates. As I’m risk averse to any wiggling about we agreed round and likely moderate profile as I want a natural result.

I’m a 38A cup, 5ft 6 and 147lbs with a really wide chest wall. My biggest niggle is the huge landscape between my boobs as they’re really wide set and don’t feel at all in proportion with my chest. They are a little on the droopy side but that actually bothers me less and at 45 I can’t really expect anything else 🤣.

The larger implant was offered in order to address the big gap, as they are wider, although he did say there was a limit to how much that could be managed anyway which I’m ok with. The smaller implants would not touch the gap but the uplift and increase in size would improve the shape.

I’m really flip flopping as I really don’t like the idea of the scar (lollipop) and being really pale he warned it would likely be a bit more obvious but I do like the idea of the reduced risk of a smaller implant in terms of capsular contracture and less drag. But whilst I prefer the idea of implants on their own I don’t want to get bigger ones for them to end up around my knees in a matter of months when they drop and fluff and need to have an uplift sooner than I might otherwise!

I’ve attached a phot of my current pair, if anyone with similar stats to me can help with photos of their non-uplifted results or has experience of not having an uplift with similar volume I’d be most grateful!

I went to a different clinic before Mya and was told I would need an uplift which surprised me. I had a consultation with Mya and was told I would just need a standard augmentation. Have you thought about getting a second opinion with a different surgeon? I know when I had my consultation they said this was possible if I didn’t gel with the surgeon but I liked him so didn’t need one. I had the option of 275,300, 325. The 325 felt massive so settled on the 300. I also work out quite a bit so did not want to go for anything too big

Thanks Laura.

Thanks Laura. I really liked the surgeon, his previous work and he gets amazing reviews (not MYA though). There was no pressure to go either way, just his view on options based on my stats, I’m just whittling about which way to go 🤣 I’m sort of 85/15 in favour of the augmentation only I just need a bit of reassurance of other peoples experiences with the bigger 400cc implants I guess. I found the rice test gave me a different impression entirely – much better – but then you can mould them to be flatter and wider in a pair of tights 🙈
