Still loving them as I did from day one. Still no pain in the chest while (power)lifting. And still working out 5 times a week. Actually, the years after I got my breast augmentation are the years I gained the most muscles in my upper body. I can workout as I please (boobwise).

(I added a picture of my physique for those who want to know what lifting entails for me and want to compare physiques if questioning breast augmentation).

Thank you so much for posting this! I have been so worried. I am in strongwoman, but worry about some of the lifts (log, stones) with implants. So I was going to switch over to powerlifting. It’s just so nice to hear someone talk about it to ease the worries!
Even Stefi Cohen got implants these days. All good.
Hi I’m also a keen gym goer and contemplating implants. I’m concerned about returning to fill strength. Were your implants placed under or on top of muscle please? Thanks
Go over muscle if you want minimal strength loss
I have the implant between the muscle and my bench is bigger than ever. If you have any concerns, please explain this to a surgeon and let a him/her advise you. Strength return probably is a combination of factors such as implant shape, material, skills of the surgeon and not placement alone.
Love these photos! I am considering your same surgeon, would you recommend him? Would you be willing to share a video with movement? Thank you for sharing your story with us, so helpful!
I can 100% recommend him. Besides skilled he is extremely patient, kind and funny. I can add a video, sure.
Would you want to go larger to balance out the muscles more?
No, I don't. I love the proportions as it is. I have a wide gap (as explaned in the first post) and more CC's will only result is a big side boob. Which could give issues doing everyday activities and lifting.
Do they feel natural on touch?

Update after two years. Within the two years I had no pain, other complaints or whatsoever. I went for my yearly checkup half a year ago. Everything was fine, although Verdonck recommended me to use some oil to keep the skin elastic (which I have to admit, forget regularly).
Powerlifting is going good, including bench.

Your boobs look fantastic. Great to hear that you're still lifting! I've found your review very helpful. I'm in the UK and am booked for dual plane with Motiva ergonomix later this month. I haven't done much lifting recently but did in my 20s and may want to again. Currently I do lots of bodyweight work eg planks and press-ups. My surgeon says I'll be fine to exercise as normal once healed, but some articles seem to suggest otherwise so your review is reassuring. Thanks for the update.
It is a little overdue. Did you get your surgery?
Hello, Do you by any change have a picture from pre-op. I also have an appointment with Dr. Verdonck for Motiva 300 cc. If the result in increase is the same I would be very happy.
Your result is giving me confidence.
thx in advance.

A little overdue, but did you get the surgery and happy with the results? There is a picture in my first post that is pre-operation.
Your breast look great. I’m a former power lifter and now do CrossFit. I was very concerned about loss of strength and muscle animation if I went under the muscle. Have you experience any muscle animation or strength loss from dual plane placement?
No, none. I started the Hybrid powerlifting program and gained more than ever. That program includes 3 x bench a week. Sometimes I have some chest pain if I overdue it, but that is just my body telling me to slow down, which is good.
Amazing results. Have you found you have put xtra weight on since having your BA.
What do you mean by putting on xtra weight? As in general?
Thanks for your posts! How long did it take you to get back to benching / training upper body? I do CrossFit which involves lots of upper body strength and dynamic movements which I’m hoping my surgery won’t put me too far back.
Taking a step back is part of the deal. How far you are set back depends on skills of the surgeon, implant type and shape, implant placement and how fast your body recovers. How fast you gain strength highly depends on muscle memory (i.e. time you have been lifting).

I left I could start powerlifting after a month or so, but I did as I was told and waited several more months. I can not seem to recall what the surgeon recommended. I believe it was between 3 and 6 months.

As requested an update with pictures from the sides. This is zeven weeks post surgery. My follow-up consult is planned on the 21st of February. Hopefully Dr. Verdonck is going to tell me that everything looks fine.
