I had 300cc over the muscle implants 6 months ago...

14 Jul 2009

I had 300cc over the muscle implants 6 months ago.I feel very upset that i can feel the implants that i have,i wanted under the muscle!My surgeon said i had to have this as from breast feeding and with lack of breast tissue(which i seem to lose with the menapause)over was the only option.I would also have liked slightly smaller,but he said that the skin needed to be filled.

I am small and slim and i longed to have attractive and also lovely breasts to touch again,but quite often i find myself shrinking away from my husband,i have cried many times now.

Everyone i know has had there inplants over the muscle and although they do look quite nice i wish i could be like my friends who say they cannot really feel theres at all.

Please help and what would be my alternative,if i decided to seek further surgery.Sometimes now i wish i had had an uplift with small implant,but was scared about the scarring.I was a droppish 34b before surgery.

Please tell me what i can do as an alternative if i was to change them.If ther is an alternative?

Great review?

Unfortunately, without examining you it is difficult to tell exactly what is going on. Cohesive gel implants do not get "bubbles" in them, but you can get a fluid collection around them in the capsule of the scar tissue. I hope with time this resolves for you and you enjoy your "new you".

Thankyou for your comment..Sometimes my breasts feel okay,but other times i can really feel the implants almost like bubbles!I have cohesive gel implants apparantly of the highest quality..I have been told that it is normal to be able to feel the implants when they are over the muscle?I did ask a colleague of his and he said he must of done it this way to give me more lift and volume..and said that probaly he would of offered me an uplift..I love them when i can,t feel the bubbles as mostly more than anything else all i longed for was not bigger boobs,but soft and sensuos that made me feel good about myself..

Breast shape and size are a very individual decision between the surgeon and the patient. It is mostly your decision as to what you want, and for the plastic surgeon to tell you what he can and can not do and why or why you should choose otherwise. Firmness of an augmented breast has to do with the type of implant that you have choosen( saline, silicone, or highly cohesive gels), the amount of breast tissue you have, the location of the implant(above or below the muscle) and the size of the pocket that has been used. In addition, scar tissue - capsule formation can cause a firm breast. If you do not feel comfortable with your surgeon's opinion - I am sure he would not mind you seeking the thoughts of one of his colleagues.
