Can anyone help are implants over the muscle more pain full than under the muscle or the other way round?
I was told that it’s easier to recover from overs but that’s never going to be the case all the time. As I understand it, unders are usually suggested for girls without much tissue (i.e. an A cup) so that the implants look more natural. Overs are better if your breasts have sagged after weight loss or breast feeding to give a more rounded shape. Both can achieve amazing results, I think you have to rely on your surgeon to look at your shape and size to determine which is better.
I can only speak from experience and I’ve had unders and they are painful xx
I had overs – little pain. I’ve not breast fed or had weight loss but had enough breast tissue to have overs. I was a b and c cup x
I had overs and had very little pain at all xx
I had an uplift amd unders and didnt need/take any pain killers. Just think it depends on the person xoxo
I had unders and didn’t feel pain just a bit of am ache on day 4 and 5 x
I had unders and I wouldn’t say it’s really painful. It’s just like you’ve done a hard workout and have aching muscles x
I’ve had overs, currently in hospital after having the op this morning and I have very little pain – more stiffness and a little achey when I stand up! X
Omg I must be such a wimp, no one but me as had any pain. Honestly I’m really not a wuss, mind you apart from labour and snapping my Achilles heel I’ve never done anything so maybe I’ve got no pain threshold xx
Gail, people react differently to the op. I think I’ve been lucky, I’ve only taken to paracetamols since my operation and feel fine… But I did have overs which may play a big part in that.

I know everyone is different . Glad your feeling great and happy with the new additions xx
I had unders and full uplift and im still aching! Im a bit of a wuss like! Unders are better if you have little breast tissue like myself so that you have less chance of rippling but as theu are going under the first layer of pec muscle it is more painful i think its kind of like having a cramp but it does settle down.

Hi Kris
How long you had it done now? Tonight the lower bit of the clevage felt stingy and burning and when me an my hubby checked it out it looks mega stretched, suppose everyone has got that haven’t they if they had no excess skin there to play with xx
Hi Gail
I’m on day 10 apparently I’m healing well couldn’t bear to look when she changed my dressings might look next week when I go back!
I get achy down my outer side of my boob especially on the right which seems to have been the wurst from the start don’t know if it’s cause it’s my dominant side.
Kris my right side seems to be more of an issue too and at the moment across my middle of my back, worse on the left hand side, thought it was my kidneys but really think its due to how I’m lying down and holding my body and I’m still bloated so going to get some prune juice I think. Xx
