I'm currently a 34 a ( i barely fill an acup anymore)but lots of volume loss and a bit of sagging after having two kids. I did not breastfeed. I had a consultation I was told that I don't need a lift I'm just going to do full high profile implants over the muscle with a silicone (cohesive gel 2 I believe) to give myself volume with a "lift" in the sense that the projection will make my breasts appear perkier perhaps and fill out the bottom portion that's got a bit of sag to it. I'm worried that it will make me need a lift sooner rather than later but I really don't want to get one right now and I also don't want to put implants under the muscle. I'm just afraid that will show on top I really don't know what to do. I don't want my nipples pointing to the sky but I also don't want to look too fake. My recommended size was 335cc and the max size was 400 cc.. I was also told that I have enough breast tissue to disguise the top of the implant being placed over the muscle I just might see a bit of roundness which I don't necessarily mind because I've never had cleavage in my life. Any pictures or opinions would be great!!

I have seen in the community that under the muscle is long lasting and can help prevent sagging but each women's body is different so you need to work closely with your doctor on whether to go over or under the muscle. Perhaps a different profile could help. Have you looked at goal pictures with your doctor? Be sure to comment on reviews that you like so members in the community can easily find you and provide you with feedback. Good luck and please keep us posted as you continue to research!

Hi! Follow your doctor's advice. I had exactly this procedure many, many years ago and my boobs became instantly lifted with the implant! I have since had them replaced twice (we're talking 40 years here, my dear!) First ones were smooth silicone and they lasted from 1976 until 1991, when I developed a leakage from squeezing and massaging to prevent hardening. Because that does happen. They were at that time replaced with Saline implants, I HATED the feel of those, but there were so much nonsense being spread about silicone at that time; it was all the doctor could do. Then, since I really hated the saline ones, in 1998 I replaced them with textured implants. I still have them. I do massage them also, hardening does still happen, though less. Not bad though. lst implants (all over the muscle) were 300, #2 (saline) was filled to 330, and the current silicone ones are 360. My breasts have sagged some, but it's not bad at all. Actually, they really look natural! I am now thinking about replacing the last pair with new ones, probably the same size or a little bit bigger. I tell you, after birth of 3 children I had lost basically ALL breast tissue, and they were super saggy! I hated it!!! Fixing up my saggy, skinny breasts was a good solution to my problems and I have never once regretted it!! Good Luck! P.S. Do NOT go too big! It does NOT look good and very unnatural, and EVERYONE will know about it! :-) That's not what you want...

Thank you so much for the advice! So having your implants over the muscle hasn't made them look too droopy at all over time? Have you ever seen any rippling on yours? And what projection are your silicone implants?

I was in the same situation there was a certain look I wanted to achieve and in order to get it I did a lift with 335 cc silicone under the muscle and oh my goodness I love!!!!
September 17, 2016
Be very careful! I was in the same spot 3 months ago, my ps told me that I didn't need a lift. So I listen to my ps and I have a 400cc ultra high profile gel silicon. N right now I'm living the nightmare of my life my breast looks so saggy n they look so ugly wen I lay down they literally go under my arm pit.!!! Be careful n good luck!!

UPDATED FROM Texas55

Hmmm

I need to mention i am not entirely sure I do need a lift as yes I lost volume but don't mind my nipple placement if I could just get a bit of volume at the bottom(and of course the top) I think my skins elasticity is decent as my tummy is flat with only a couple stretch marks below the belt area that were from my first pregnancy 14 years ago. I have none from my last one 10 months ago.
You can't tell I have kids other then my boobs lol the thought of cutting muscle also freaks me out but I am still wanting ppl to show me pics and tell me stuff add they have been. Hoping more doctors give tips as I want to do the surgery in Nov!
