Hello, I'm 39. 5'6" 137 lbs. Breastfed 2 kids? I am very active, I weight lift and play hard physical contact sports. I want to go from a 34B to a D-DD. PS recommend 415. Subglandular. I liked the 500cc in the seizers tho. I'm just afraid of subglandular in respect to capsule contraction and bottoming out. I also don't want my boobs to look funny when I move. So my question is: Is 500cc subglandular the right choice. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Answer: Is 500cc subglandular the right choice? I appreciate your question.

Answer: Implant size If you are athletic, I think the 500 cc implants you will find to be much too large. If you really want to minimize the risk of capsular contracture you should go with sal e implants inder the muscle. They rarely encapsulate.

Answer: Sometimes subglandular works well If your surgeon is recommending cohesive (or highly cohesive) shaped gel implants, subglandular may be a good choice. The issues you raise, specifically high activity and weight lifting as activities which could be adversely affected by submuscular placement, are quite valid. The shaped gel implants have much less rippling and retain a god appearance over the years. Your activities should return to normal quite quickly with little muscle weakness. As long as you have enough breast tissue to hide the edges of the implant, you should do well. Please remember that the determinants to good shaped implant selection are based more on the dimensions of the native breast than on the volume alone. These textured implants have shown a consistently lower rate of contracture than the smooth ones. Unfortunately, that rate is not zero. Best of luck.
