Over or Under For Implants if I Want to Get Into CrossFit?

I am getting into Cross Fitness and as I am researching I find where some say you should get your implants over the muscle and others say under. Then some say get small implants while others say size doesn't matter. For pull ups, push ups, and things of that nature would you say unders or overs and what size? I am 4'11 and weigh 120 lbs. I'm 32/34 A/B deflated from breast feeding 5 kids. I want 450-500cc's Saline unders for a DD/DDD. Should I get over or unders and what size for cross fitness?

Minimize implant size by simultaneous Mini Ultimate Breast Lift

Your breasts are a 32/34 A/B and deflated. I do not believe it would be possible for you to accommodate 450 to 500 cc implants under the muscle. You would be better off with a smaller implant placed retro-pectorally. There is a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift which will lift your areola, elevate your breast tissue and allow implant placement. This will give you the look you desire of large breasts using smaller implants... more

Cross fitness training favors a smaller subglandular implant

There are many factors in you question and trade-offs will come to bear. If cross training is your dream, then submuscular implants will deform with muscle pressure and cause embarrasment. Next is size, and your small frame with a DD-DDD goal might be too full for the amount of tissue to cover and blend with the implant. Finally, a larger saline implant may not feel or perform as well as a silicone implant as far a show through or ripples. Many conflicting issues will take a careful... more

Best Breast Implants if Planning Cross Fitness?

Thank you for the question. There are pros and cons to the placement of breast implants and the “sub muscular” position versus the "sub glandular position”. There are also pros/cons associated with the use of saline implants versus silicone breast implants. I will try to outline some of the differences here; you may find the attached link helpful as well. I think it is in the best interests of most patients seeking breast augmentation surgery to have implants placed... more

Implants Over or Under Pectoral Muscles

The size of the implants that you seek are more likely to cause complictaions than the placement. If you have thin skin you should have your implants placed underneath the muscle, and if your skin is thick you can achieve positive results over the muscle. Heavy weight lifting is really the only time when activity will impact sub-muscular implants. Most patients with sub-muscular implants are still able to perform pushups and other exercises. You should set up a consultation with a... more

Implants in cross fit training

Implants to take you pu to a DD/DDD would put you in territory of patients iwth your height and weight who typically seek breast reduction because of back, neck and shoulder pain as well as bra strap grooving. I think you have to analyze your goals, i terms of fitness and training, and come to a resolution in your own mind as to priorities. I think that your athletic goals may be compromised by large implants, not to mention the heightened risk of complications.

Implants in cross fitness training

I think you have some conflicting factors. First, you want to go very large compared to your small frame and relatively small amount of natural breast tissue. That will produce a higher incidence of long-term complications. Also, the larger the implant, the less it will actually be under the muscle. Second, your high degree of physical/muscular activity may suggest that going subglandular ( i.e. over muscle) would be more advisable. Finally, the more your final breast is comprised of... more
