Hi

I had my op last tues on 22nd and had 460cc overs…. the only painful day I had was on the Wed, since then I haven’t had much pain at all, at least nothing to complain about just the odd ache now and again… think it is more painful having unders but not too sure.

Unders is more painful as they are lifting your muscle, recovery time is also longer. Overs are less painful and with a quicker recovery according to what i’ve read.

My surgeon decided after measuring me which I would have and I trusted him. I’m really pleased with my results so far. I had overs. I’m 5 days post op and the pain is more of an ache now. x

Hi

Thanks for the input, really appreciate it. It all helps.

Do overs settle and take shape quicker than unders?

This is from a clip I read hun: Your breast implants should drop slightly within a few weeks or months of your surgery. This varies based on several factors, including your breast implant size, its surface and your muscle tone. That said, implants that are placed over the chest muscles may drop sooner than those placed underneath the muscle.

Pain Level: Breast Implants above the muscle: Mild to moderate discomfort. Breast Implants below the muscle: Moderate to severe discomfort following placement under the muscle. 1-2 weeks of pain medication

Swelling: Above the muscle: 4 days-2 weeks. Below the muscle: 2-12 weeks.

Bruising: Up to 2 weeks. Some patients experience no bruising.

Numbness: 1-2 weeks.

Work: Above the muscle: 1 week Below the muscle: 1-2 weeks. If job is strenuous or requires lifting, wait a month.

Exercise: Wait 2-4 weeks

Final result: Breast Implants above the muscle: 1 month. Breast Implants below the muscle: 4 months
