37 Yr Old W/13 BWD 300cc Mentor Memory Gel Classic Profile, Under the Muscle.

I wanted to share my journey because I couldn’t find many low or classic profile reviews. I’ve also had 3 breast implant surgeries before and experienced flex deformity with 350cc saline unders and rippling with 425cc cohesive gel overs. I’ll add those pics for reference. I really wanted to have overs, because I love the look and feel they provided, but my Dr. says with having previous surgeries, I have a higher risk of capsular contracture and still the same risk of visible rippling since I don’t have a lot of tissue to cover the implant. So I decided with unders and hopefully the wider diameter of the classic profile will fill in some of my gap! I really just want to have a natural looking full breast. At this point I don’t even care about projection. However, I am really concerned with my risk of animation deformity. My right muscle must be super sensitive because it flexes like alll the time!! I don’t even really have to do much.

I too had muscle deformity. It was to the point moving my fingers had them moving. I had surgery to change to over the muscle. Then dealt with Capsular Contracture, some ripples. I've had surgery to correct the capsular contracture and the rippling is not so bad. The muscle deformity was so bad I was in 24 hr pain. I love how they look and feel and most importantly for me pain free

Ugh, I am so nervous this will happen to me too. Thank you for sharing your story. Although I didn’t experience pain, I only had the implants for about to years and the first year everything was fine. I imagine it would’ve gotten to the point of pain. But it was definitely detrimental say if I was out in a public restroom just simply washing my hands with a lowish cut top on. I’m so happy you found happiness with them on top. May I ask what size you started out with and what size implant you have now?

Lmao, I just realized my typo “two”

I had a double mastectomy DCIS, so I have the ripples ( not a lot ) due to lack of tissue. I went with 615cc. Don't be nervous just have faith !

Hi I am set to get 250-300 cc cohesive overs in October. I have 27 year old saline over implants now. I’m 120 and 5’3. I can’t find your post op pic of your 300cc cohesive. Did you post it?

I will as soon as I have the surgery this Friday :)
Wow! 27 years!!! Have you had any complications or is the revision just for aesthetics purposes?

Surgery went well! Staff treated me as if they have known me for years! Props to Dr. Conway and his staff!! I came home with a bandage around the girls and some ice packs that are super helpful for the swelling. They just sit around my neck! I don’t have to hold them there! It’s the little things that make me happy lol! Still high from anesthesia, so there’s no pain! He said there may be some asymmetry until they drop. I was so nervous from my last experiences, but so far, they look like they’re just what I wanted!!
Surgery was at 11am, no food or water since midnight the night before. First meal was cheesy green onion mashed potatoes and vegan chicken nuggets!! #starving!!

Day after surgery

It was hard to sleep. However, I felt way better sleeping upright. It’s harder to get up the more reclined you are. And a tip I have is use your thighs and core when trying to get up or scoot forward. It’s less pressure on chest. I’m a bit more sore today, if it’s not unbearable. I’ve only taken 3 oxycodone (Percocet) to reduce pain and 2 flexeril for muscle spasms in a 24 hour period. Today is definitely a bit more pain, but nothing unbearable. It could’ve been how I was sleeping, but I have a lot of tension in my upper back and shoulders. The girls are looking a little silly, but I feel very hopeful in their outcome! I can’t wait for them to drop and fluff :D

Thank you!! I’m still waiting for the drop and fluff. It’s giving me anxiety!! Left is dropping much quicker than right. I went through a bout of feeling sad and disappointed in myself thinking why did I do this again?? It gets better each day as my chest feels less tight and as they drop.
