Whats the difference between unders and overs

Originally I was having overs but I’ve had 1 implant before and that was under so think we’re going with unders now… so confusing

Overs tend to be for people who have more breast tissue so it covers thw implant, unders are for thise who dont have much to cover it, so its placed under the chest muscle to stop the edges of the implant being visable x

Ahhh ok thank you and does it affect the size of them? If you have unders do they look smaller? x

I dont think by much. I have partials which are inbetween the chest muscle layers (they cut apart the layer an put it inside like a pocket) im over the moon with mine and they are pretty big too. Ill be getting measured next week after my 6 week check but at the min im wearing a 32f sports bra, that was going from a 32a xx

Blimey that is big jump aha, mine won’t be that big

Blimey that is big jump aha, mine won’t be that big

Blimey that is big jump aha, mine won’t be that big

Yeah lol. I wanted my money’s worth haha!!

Hey huni I went from under to overs I think unders makes them look small but over you get the lovely round shape with a cleavage for me unders wasn’t right for me but depends on wot look you want x

Mine are really round and my cleavage is amazing. Theyre partials as well xx

Did you have cleavage b4 your op chick ? X

No I was practically flat chested lol I was a 32a before xx

Depends on wot you want my unders wear so much trouble for me plus and never got the look I wanted and natural look is wot I didn’t want and 3 op down the line in 2 weeks ago got new implants and placed over this time and they look so much different should take a look at my pics I lost my cleavage to unders but wot is good for anther can be a bad for some1 else if you know wot I mean pro n cons with both and I’ve done both now I just hated it when I use my chest muscles they always grab my implants over the 3years I had them the best thing about was they sit quite high up x

How many weeks post op are ? X

No wonder yours are lovely round Layla you have partials which is half n half I was. Under the muscle fully that’s different all together xxx

(This is under 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.

(This is over muscle )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.

(This is partials ) 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.

Awww huni at least you have got best of both Thats wots all about Perky and round my. Unders didn’t. Look to good at all I love the round look it’s just better and if I’m paying all that cash I wanted them to fake in way . How’s you been feeling did everything go ok for you ? I’m healing ok I think. My right is huge to the left one hope it goes down size soon don’t really fancy 4th op to even them up again xx

Ahhh you’re making me slightly worried now! He said high profile unders 325-400. I hope they’re still noticeable!! I’m not fussed about them looking too big I just want them bigger than they are now and to not look like a boy when I wear bikinis, ideally Id like to be a D x

Wot size are now chick ? If your looking for the round look you will not get that from fully under muscles ring your pc as he may have partials and if you got them from wot Layla has said your laughing and happy xx

I’m 32b now. It’s so confusing I keep changing my mind! He said they will look round but I do want more of a natural look than a fake one so maybe unders will be best for me. I just hope they don’t look really far apart! X

My op is on Monday so I think I’ve left it a bit late now aha ahhh I think I want overs now, its really confusing. Originally he said overs but last time I think he said unders cause I’ve got one in atm and that’s under. I’ll just speak to him on the day! xxx

Oh lol! Can you call your pc and see what she says? At least then she can give you an idea of what your surgeon is likely to say on the day xxx

On your op day when the surgeon comes in to mark you up just tell him u want it’s not problem as they can change there minds at anytime xx
