    Hi girls, new to this forum!
    i’ve been to mya where Mr traynor said unders then at Harley medical Mr mahadev said overs..so I’m a bit confused about what to do at the moment!
    has anyone else had this situation? Or has anyone had theirs and wished they had gone with the other?
    I’m 32a so worried they may look fake if i go for over, however i also have a bit of a gap between my boobs which i think overs would cover compared to unders!

    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

    Unders are where the implants are placed under the muscle and overs are where they are placed over the muscle. There’s also partials which is half and half x

    I’m having the same problem! I’m booked in for the 16th Sep Mr Traynor has said overs but I’m a small 32b at the moment and I have a very small frame. I spoke to my pc today who is going to ask Mr Traynor just so I can weigh up the pros and cons as tbh I’m not sure really sure why you would have unders but there seems to be lots of girls on here with similar stats who have been recommended unders x.

    I was offered 300 to 400 cc. My surgeon said if I were to have 375 or 400 cc he would go under the muscle but if I was having smaller he would put them over the muscle and they’re a smaller implant size and is unsure whether it would be worth cutting the muscle for that size. I think they normally offer unders to women who don’t really have much breast tissue, I’m unsure though! X

    Under is
    less risk from capsular contracture, safer for breast cancer screening, more natural looking, less rippling.
    Results tend to have a more natural look as the implants are covered by both the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle.
    Reduced risk of visible rippling.
    The muscle supports the placement of the implant reducing the wear to the skin.
    Reduced risk of capsular contracture development.
    Less distortion of mammograms.
    Decreased risk of the implant “bottoming out”.
    Safer choice for those seeking concurrent breast lift or those who may need a lift in the future as it preserves better blood flow to the nipple in these settings.

    Cons for over.

    Generally results in a less natural (more augmented) look where there is a pronounced roundness to the breast. Some women may prefer this look; it’s a matter of personal preference.
    Implants are solely supported by the shin which could result in future stretch marks and blemishes.
    Breasts are more susceptible to visible rippling as there is less tissue covering the implant along the upper border.
    Creates more mammogram distortion which requires more views to be taken.
    The rates of capsule contracture tend to be higher.
    Increased risk of the implant “bottoming out”.
    Future or concurrent breast lift procedures become more risky with regard to maintaining blood flow to the nipple.
