27y/o, 220cc, Silicone Teardrop, over the Muscle.

Hi there Tarren. Plastic surgery is all about making informed choices. Your surgeon will no doubt go through all the pros and cons of the different options with you. Suffice it to say current generation implant complication rates are lower than they have ever been and you will have less pain/restriction of activity with over the muscle implants if you lead an active lifestyle. Best of luck, James

Not sure about the teardrop complications but I have HP overs (225) and love them. No complications at all.

Lol!! I posted this comment above right before I developed capsular contracture with these overs, so I can no longer recommend overs. My cap con started after a skin infection 9 months post surgery. I now have 350 unders and Strattice to prevent cap con. I only had my first BA for a year and really thought I wouldn't get cc because I was healthy. I didn't know that if you had a bacterial infection anywhere in your body at any time in your life, your body could start attacking the implant and cause cap con.

Thank you for your feed back and sorry to hear about your situation. I am glad that you have had a successful resolution to your capsular contraction problem. Your story highlights some interesting points for discussion. While the risk of capsular contracture is less for implants placed under the muscle, it can still occur in this location too. Bacterial seeding of breast implants leading to capsular contraction is possible many years after surgery, irrespective of implant location, but it is very rare. Breast implants placed over the muscle remains an excellent option for the right patient who has been well informed pre-operatively. All the best James
