Hi, I am scheduled to get a breast augmentation in June (subfascial), but am planning starting a massage course mid September. Is that a reasonable timeline for recovery? Will it be a problem to lie on my stomach for hours at a time even with a specific breast pillow? Also, will the physical requirements be a problem? Sometimes giving massages can be quite physical with lifting/supporting various parts of the patients. Thank you!

Fat transfer techniques for aesthetic breast augmentation is debatable and an unsolved topic...
Your photo is not much help since you are hiding your breasts with clothing and hair. However, at 5'3" and 114 pounds, the 335 cc implant might be your largest, not smallest, size implant for your frame and tissue. Measurements are needed to be certain. You can always choose a smaller size.
The only filler that might make some difference is something like Sculptra. There would be at least 3 sessions 4-6 weeks apart. It would then take some time for the filler to completely build up your collagen. However, this is not permanent either. You might talk to your reconstructive surgeon...
