Just about 3 WKS post op!! Lovvvvvvveeee them!

Hi. I am surprised to hear that most doctors go under the muscle and people also think that this is the best placement. My doctor in Greece does it over the muscle, he put mine there too even though I had very little breast tissue. There must be some reason why doctors go under the muscle, it is probably easier as my ps said. Under the gland is where the breast tissue is in the first place so why put the implants somewhere else. The fears of rippling and stuff like that does not exist now with this placement. If you go to google scholar it says that the best placement is over the muscle. This is the official site to search things because the other one is for advertising purposes. You see that under every comment there is a price and a doctor's name. My recovery was very fast, almost pain free in less than a week. Also, he told me that under the muscle sit higher. The final result though would be in more than 6 months to a year. Post your comments. I will post photos in a while. I won't post the left breast because unfortunately, I had a cancerous lump there and the operation was very big on the left one, thus it is very different, is much higher, more swollen and different shape. I am so lucky they did not cut it off completely. I thank God for it every day. My decision to have implants saved my life because otherwise I do not know when I would have decided to take it out, I had it for 5 years and I was told it was nothing serious. Wait for your response.

Vannatoo, nice and comprehensive explanation of over vs under. You did your research. Pain is different for everyone. However, my pain in the last week has been minimal and I do think it is connected to the over the muscle placement. How will they look in the long term? I cannot say, but they look amazing now.

Wow! So glad everything worked out for the best!! Thank you for explaing over vs unders... I think you may have done it better then my PS. He said my chest muscle was an alright size and it was pretty high...& as you can see from my b4 pic I had plenty of loose skin and lots off tissue. My PS said if I had gone under the muscle due to how high my muscle isy implant would of sat pretty high up. My PS is a under the muscle PS so for him to recommend over I knew it was best. My pain was hardly any and my recovery has been pretty fast. I think this is due to over the muscle placement. I can't wait to see some pics!! :)
