These are Sebbin LSM RL 140 cc round implants, diameter 10 cm and projection 2,3 cm, under the muscle/dual plane. I could have gone even smaller, especially my right breast still looks big to me, but I hope it gets smaller as the swelling goes down.
If you have almost no breast tissue and want a very conservative result, just go for the smallest, lowest profile implant you can find! Don’t let yourself be talked into anything bigger than you want. Feel free to ask questions!

Hi, thank you! Some other doctors said I would need some kind of a lift, but I was lucky I didn’t. My scar is underneath the areola and my doctor said she cut a tiny bit of skin in the process.
Recovery has been a lot worse than with the overs, but still manageable. For me the worst was day 6 (I overdid it on day 5), and getting out of bed alone was difficult for 2 weeks. Now, after 3 weeks and 2 days, I still can’t put on some T-shirts or reach things on the top shelf because I can’t lift my arms high enough. But it does get better every day! You just have to accept the frustration of not being able to move your elbows too far from your sides for a while. Little things like combing your hair and brushing your teeth are difficult. I would recommend having someone around to help for about a week. My partner had to travel after 4 days and then I overdid it on day 5.
I would be allowed to exercise at 4 weeks, but I don’t think any upper body exercise or swimming will happen in a while yet.
Good luck with your surgery!
You look great. Thanks for the review on low profile. I’m researching and reviews are hard to find
I’m so torn between 170 and 140. The lowest is 140, but I’m being persuaded to 170 because 140 “will look lost and barely be visible” but I’d rather be smaller than bigger. How do they look/feel in bras & bathing suits, still look too big to you in clothes?
Sorry I hadn't noticed your message before! Mine still look and feel too big to me in anything I wear. They aren't 'small breasts' which is what I always wanted. Maybe fat transfer would have been the way to achieve it. I'll try to upload some pictures in clothing soon.
I think it's hard for any implant to look 'lost and barely visible' especially if you don't have much volume to begin with, as the relative change will be huge. Did you have your surgery already? Don't let anyone persuade you to a size you aren't comfortable with, it's your body and you have to live with it. Best of luck for your journey!
how does the breast feel under the muscle? is it harder than before? I am so curious!!!
It is softer, you can't feel the implant. But I can't use my pectoral muscles as before; there's loss of strength, I can't pull myself out of a swimming pool for example, and it feels and looks strange when I flex them. I'm thinking of explanting in the not so distant future. I wish I had never had BA in the first place!
thank you so much for the response! I have been debating on if I want to explant or downsize. I have my implants in 285cc over the muscle and was considering a under the muscle small implant. This comment convinces me that I should strongly consider explanting. I am meeting my doctor today. thank you for your thought, my aunt explanted her under the muscles and had surgery to recover the muscles.. she feels fantastic. Hope your muscles will recover and you will regain your strength :))
Hello dear, i paid to have breast aug but after reading so many reviews about losing strength with under the muscle placement i am truly thinking on not getting a BA. You're low profile, 140cc look is exactly what i want. May i ask, are you feeling any symptons of BII? Do you still feel pressure on your chest? So you still dont feel like your "normal" self 5 years post op? This scares me. I have read similar things regarding dual plane placement. And you say you can feel the implant when you flex...do you mean you feel the muscle contract or you actually feel the implant when touching the breast? Sorry for so many questions, i am truly interested to know how you manage after 5 years and if you dislike under the muscle placement more than over since you can feel the implant and it prevents you from doing certain activities. I pray all is well.

Before photos
These are my old Sebbin 260 cc round implants, over the muscle, periareolar incision. The diameter was 11,2 cm and the projection was 3,8 cm which I didn’t like personally. I wanted small breasts with a natural slope.

Downsizing from 260 cc overs to 140 cc low profile unders!
I had 260 cc overs for almost 16 years and they always felt too big and round for me. I had them replaced with 140 cc unders 3 weeks ago. There are so few reviews of low profile and under 150 cc, I hope my experience can help those who want very small implants and a subtle look.
Here are some stats:
-41 years old, no children
-180 cm (5ft11),68 kg
-very little natural breast tissue, maybe AA cup
-BWD about 12 cm
One question. How long was the recovery from going under the muscle?
