53, No Kids, 345 CC Silicone Above the Muscle

I’m contemplating BA and also in my 50’s. Can I ask why you went above the muscle? So many people do below the muscle and I dont know if it’s for a particular reason or not but I’m kind of leaning to over the muscle.

Definitely do it. I chose over the muscle because I'd seen what happens when they're under the muscle and you flex - they shift and deform a bit. I didn't want that. The second reason is I figured I'd have less pain and heal faster with less strain on the muscle. I can say that I had almost no pain from the surgery. Some aching for the first few days, maybe a week, after, but at no point did I have to take any pain medication. The final reason was that I was hoping they'd look a little more natural being over the muscle. They've dropped a little but aren't done but I think they're looking great. I have an 8-week check-up next week. I'll probably post updated pics after that and then wait until they've fully dropped.

Thanks so much for your input. I’ve heard that it is a quicker recovery and a lot less painful over the muscle. Being in my late 50’s and gravity working against me I was nervous about over the muscle and aggressive sagging since the muscle is not holding it in place. So many things to consider but I’m 90% sure I’m going to do it, just don’t know placement or size yet. Consult in one month. Happy healing and enjoy your new you!

I have a a question ,I have read many comments that if you go above the muscle ,there are higher chances of capsular contracture and that’s the main reason of going under the muscle ,What did your doctor recommend in regards to that ?

I have read that the pain is way less if the implant is above the muscle so that’s a huge plus but thinking of capsular contracture makes me nervous .

Wow, what beautiful results!

Beautiful results, but I was just wondering why they recommended over the muscle. I thought it would drop more ( tendency to bottom out). I turned 49 this January and want to get mine done by late summer, but until recently, I had only considered the dual plane position. I've been seeing more over the muscle lately and wondered why they're recommending them on slim women ( also worried about rippling since I have a slim torso).

Very pretty!!

53? Looks like 23! Quite nice!

You look incredible. You don't look anywhere near 53. You must be very careful with the sun!

Wow!! They look awesome. I’m 54 going to have BA in April going over the muscle as well. What size bra were you and are you now? Trying to figure out how many cc’s to get 320 or 350. Yours came out fantastic!!

Mission accomplished! Lovely and youthful. Staying fit makes such a huge difference.
