LexiBurke
Athletic, 31 yr old, 34A, 5'5, 120 lb, 12 cm b-width, LEO wants to be small D cup, but go back to weight lifting (5 days/wk for 13 yrs), insanity/plyo, etc. I don't want my implant look to change much after surgery (don't want softball look). Also still want kids & to breast feed. I've had multi consults...some say under some over (after I press that I want to weight lift again), all docs say silicone but they mention HP, Mod +, or form stable "gummy" (will it shift?). All say incision under crease.So I had my last 2 consults this week (after I posted above).The final 2 doctors I'm deciding on have 2 dif opinions. Help!Dr 1 originally (1 1/2 yrs ago) thought I might be good candidate for the form stable (shaped textured implant) but since he didn't know much about yet said to wait on surgery.  Today went back & 1st thing he stated was he didn't like the new implants (stated has ONLY used them for reconstruction) & proceeded to recommend Mod+ no larger than 280cc, under the muscle (again I only have 12 cm width).but then when I reminded him of how I want to go back to lifting weights & being very active he then said New Form Stable OVER the muscle no more than 300cc....this suprised me because one other doc said 450cc!Dr 2 - he is one of top 10 leading researchers/users of the new form stable (style 410) in the US.He also said 12 cm & states even with my workout regime he said HP, under muscle 275-400cc max but after I looked at computer images (attached) 375cc looked good to me.however I also got to see computer image of Mod+ (style 15?) & Mod+ implant seemed a bit more perky with not as long of a slope, but he still recommends the HP.i don't want torpedo boob!soooooo confused! Help!
