Have I done the right thing.

Did anyone else wonder if they had made the right choice? I had my BA yesterday am really struggling and starting to panic whether it’s going to be worth it. I was a small 32b and had 300cc hp unders (that was the max I was offered) I’m worried that there still going to be tiny. I was hoping to look a full c/d but can’t see that happening.

Hiya I’m sure they will be fine. Xx I had my 1st ba 5 years ago. Had 380cc overs. Took me from a 34b to a 32dd xx even though I’d say in clothes they looked like a full C . Xx

Hey holly are your implants full under the muscle or partials ? As most surgeons say under when in fact They mean partials and these the implant at the top is under the muscle and at the bottom the implants comes over where you get a lovely Cleavage and round look . Unders they are incased in your muscle so they don’t really drop that much and or fluff as the muscle is trapping it the look you get is they sit quite high up and you don’t get a Cleavage as the muscle is keeping them apart with unders they don’t look that big and u don’t get that lovely round look but a lot of less risk I’ve gone from unders to overs now x

(Overs ) implant placement over the muscle in the sub-glandular position, completely in contact with the breast tissue. The result of implants over the muscle provides a round augmented look in many patients, but many women prefer the round and somewhat less natural look. In the “over” approach the implants are inside the breast. Advantages are ease of the surgery, which can be accomplished by almost any surgeon, avoidance of mastopexy in mild ptosis (although it usually makes the ptosis worse later), less post-op discomfort, since only skin and fat are cut. This approach allows insertion of oversize implants, which is again what some women want. Disadvantages are marked interference with mammograms (about 40% obstruction – see reference below), clear visibility and feel of implant edges, visible and palpable rippling of the skin over the implants, especially with any textured implants, higher rate of capsule contracture, high rate of later implant downward migration or “bottoming-out”, and difficulty correcting later posts problems when they occur. For the above reasons I seldom recommend implants over the muscle anymore.

(Parts)partial submuscular implant coverage with implants placed under the muscle via either an areola (nipple) incision or an inframammary crease incision, thus disrupting the muscle support fascia at the lower pole of the implant to allow it to enter the space under the muscle. With this approach the implants are mostly behind the breast. This approach has the Advantages of mostly separating the implants from the muscle, facilitating unobstructed mammography, a more natural look with a soft transition from the flat of the upper chest wall to the round shape of the implant, much less visibility and feel of the implant edges, usually no rippling (except textured implants), and low risk of capsule contracture, as long as the implants have not been contaminated by ductal germs while being passed through the breast tissues. Disadvantages include a bit more discomfort early post-op, technique a bit more difficult than over the muscle, and the loss of the lower pole support fascia which leave the implants supported by the same weak skin tissues as implants over the muscle, leading to later downward bottoming-out of the implants in a few patients as is frequently seen in implants over the muscle.

Complete implant muscle coverage is shown at left with intact muscle fascia supporting the lower pole of the implant. This support fascia is the extension of the muscle envelope from the pectoralis muscles to the abdominal rectus muscles, and the finger shaped serratus anterior muscles to the sides, and is a stout collagen sheet which stretches slowly after implant placement, but provides reliable long-term internal bra-like support to prevent “bottoming-out”. With this approach the implants are totally behind the breast. Complete muscle coverage of the implant, without cutting through the muscles, can only be achieved by trans-axillary approach, entering the space under the muscle where it lies closest to the skin in the anterior axillary fold. The Advantages of this approach are ease of placement, natural breast shape no implant visibility, no rippling of the implant surface (except textured implants in thin women), lower capsule contracture risk, since the breasts are completely separated from the implant, and no ducts with germs are damaged while placing the implants, low mammography interference, good internal support, and no scars on the breast. Disadvantages are the difficulty mastering the procedure, thus it is not available from all surgeons, muscle discomfort post-op, and implants which tend early to be a bit full superiorly, until the support fascia stretches. This is my preferred technique for the majority of patients.

I’m worried about mine too. Not due to have my BA until Jan but the surgeon said I have slight tubular breasts. He’s able to correct this but I’m hoping my cleavage will not be too wide! Anyone else had the same issue? xx

I have never regretted mine. Loved them from day 1. I was a 32A and had 325cc high profile unders and I am now a 32DD. I have a gap between my boobs but being an A before this was always inevitable. But a good bra pushes them closer together.

Hey hun, I had 275 and 300 cc overs yesterday, I am quite petite, so far I cant see much because of the strapping but they look nice and in proportion. After the op my surgeon said that I will definitely achieve a full c/small D. I was also 32/34B. So chin up – I am sure you will love them xxx

Hey girls to be fair I’ve seen lots girls well under 400cc and they have got some amazing results with there’s and they are really happy to think with T_breast they will place the implants over the muscle or parts to bring the implants closer in xx

Thanks girls feeling abit better about them today. Not in so much discomfort which is great. X

Awwww you will be fab chick xx

My incisions feel stinky today guessing thts a sign of healing? Xx

That’s all good chick they will be nitting back xx
