Should I change implants from under muscle to over?

pepsimaxFeb 18, 2014
I had a BA in early December of last year. 325 cc, round, hp, dual plane. I originally wanted overs, but the ps I chose only did dual plane. I know it's still fairly early in my recovery process, but I'm thinking of changing to overs because now it just feels uncomfortable and unnatural when I use my breast muscles and also my breast are rock hard even though I'm regularly massaging them (and riding high!). What do u think?

Synmastia does have a tendency to recur.  Hopefully you will not have that problem if the scar tissue does its thing.  If it does not I would consider the strattice with the next surgery and a neopectoral pocket.  Good luck.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

I am presuming from what I see that you have had either a breast lift or breast reduction.  There is certainly some opening (dehiscence) of the incision line, but there does not seem to be any infection.  Keep the areas clean (shower) and dress with an antibacterial ointment and...

The breast lift is the most important part of your procedure. You need to raise the areolas and decrease their diameter.  A small implant is optional.  If you add an implant, I would recommend a small implant of approximately 200cc or less. Good luck.
