Subglandular BA

I had a subglandular ba one week ago and I'm happy with the results so far, but I would love to hear from others who have had over the muscle implants. My surgeon doesn't normally do overs, but he said bc I am very pointy, it wouldn't look right to put them under the muscle. He also said bc I don't have much tissue under the nipple, it would take some time to have the skin underneath stretch/generate new skin to create that nice, round look underneath. Can anyone relate or share their end results?

Hi! Id be interested to see others experiences here too. I got my implants under muscle in dual plane 5 days ago. They look exactly like yours and I have the same concerns. Thank u!

I'm glad I'm not the only one without the typical "square, high" post op results! Maybe it's just my anatomy, not the over/under the muscle difference.

I think we need to wait and see.. my surgeon told me that its because my breasts were really small and there was a limited space or length under the nipple(he lowered the fold a bit) So that skin needs to stretch and the implant will drop and fill it with time. Hopefully that will happen! Fingers crossed! Trying to stay positive.. im now 10 days post op.

I just had my post op today and he said bc of my pointy/ slightly tubular shape, it will take a little longer to round out. He said the inside and the bottom are the last to fill out, but that I should be very happy with my final results in the end. I go again in two more weeks and will update pictures soon. They have begun rounding out on the bottom.

I had them under the muscle and I'm not happy. For me, I think it's a combination of minimal breast tissue, breast lift and wrong implants. I'm considering larger, HP implants with possible fat grafting below my nipples. I currently have moderate profile and they're too flat for my tastes.... I keep waiting for them to round out too. Not sure if I should go Over or Under Muscle. I'm not looking forward to surgery again.

Like to see a before pic? Did you start out with pointy breasts or TBD? Any asymmetry or anything? Keep us updated. Happy healing.

AProctor13

They were pointy but I always just thought it was bc they were so small. The surgeon mentioned a possi of TBD and that would make some sense bc I want able to fully breastfeed, but no one ever mentioned it to me before. I don't have a before pic except in a swimsuit. I'll have to ask the surgeon's office next week at my follow up for the before pictures and hopefully I'll have some answers as well.

I got saline implants under the muscle 7months ago and I’m not happy with my results ): whenever I lay down my implants slide towards my armpits which is so uncomfortable and makes me wish I would have done them under the muscle but my doctor said the same thing that my boobs were “ pointy “ and I’m considering a revision surgery): who was your surgeon?

Sorry I got them over the muscle ****

How far along are you post op? The bottom usually rounds out as the implants settle itself in your tissues through time. The skin underneath just need time to stretch a little bit. Do you mind sharing your bwd, implant brand, cc, and profile?

I'm 16 days post op and I think I was a 12 bwd. I got 350cc Mentor Moderate plus implants.

December 6, 2020

Ah we have the same bwd. Im getting 215 cc moderate classic. I workout and have very active pec muscles, they flex even with just walking or texting. Im gonna ask my Surgeon to get it done subglandular cos dont want distortion because of the muscles. Like you, my nipple to inframammary fold is also small and i want them to round out at the bottom as well.

Did your PS give you the go signal for massages? My PS told me this helps with them dropping because the tissue/skin under the boob stretches. Im following your journey and i hope you could post more photos of the dropping process.

Not yet, he said at my next appt in 2 weeks he'll go over that with me. He didn't want me doing any massage yet. I will post more ASAP! Thanks for the insights!

By the way, do you mind sharing your height, weight, BWD, implant brand, profile and cc?

Oh sorry you already answered that. Haha

I also have bwd of 12.. 215 at that diameter will be really small, specially under the muscle. I was also pretty scared of getting too big but got 360 and 320cc demi profile and they r good but on the small side. If u go with moderate or demi for motiva, they dont project very much so they arent as dramatic. Just my two sense because I kinda regret not going jst a tad larger.

Have you had yours yet?? I'm interested because I'm debating between 250 or 325!

ircb

December 29, 2020

Im not going for a dramatic look. I'd rather have too small cos i can play it up with a padded bra, rather than too big for my taste that i cannot do anything to make it smaller. Ive seen minis or low profiles with 190cc 215cc and it looks so good.

Things are settling, I'm trying to be patient and let them do what they're supposed to do, but it's so hard! Lefty has always been my better boob, but it's also settling better now. From the front they look more rounded out, I just hope the center fills in yet.

So happy to see that the bottom has filled in! By "center" do you mean the area between the breasts to fill in?

AProctor13

December 10, 2020

Yes, like the insides of each breast. My Dr. said they will be the last piece to settle.

Settling more all the time. I have my next check up tomorrow, so will ask more detail about the insides filling in more. He had mentioned last time that we would talk about massage techniques to get them to fill in the pocket.
