I have been anti plastic surgery for a while, but after seeing the changes in my body post 3 kids in 6 years, I have warmed to the idea. I will undergo breast augmentation, silicone, subglandular, July 15th, and I am excited and nervous. I will have local and iv sedation over general. I have decided that I will opt for 325-350cc, so a full C I suppose, I am just trying to fill up the skin that has lost volume. Can't wait!

Did you go over or under?
momtoaejJuly 4, 2014
So I know that most think under is better, but I wonder of those of you that went over how many have capsular contracture? I'm not a huge fan of how the breast move when engaging the chest, working out, getting out of a pool, twisting to the side to pick something up, and breast tissue naturally sits above the muscles in our normal anatomy anyway right? I don't know just talking it all through! Want to make the right decision. I also know I have the space from 3 pregnancies and breast feeding, and I'm not going huge, with silicone, so I hope these reduce my rate. Thoughts?

Hey mom and welcome. I went under, but there a lot of ladies who are happy with over. There is a great forum on here for June/July surgeries you might find useful to join. There are a lot of women there with loads of advice. What did your PS suggest?
July 4, 2014
He suggests under but that based on size, tissue, and my history I should do just gone with over as they can't predict caps cont. Some get it under muscle too. I didn't see that forum, can you direct me to it? Thanks so much for your advice and time! Happy 4th!

Go to the forums tab and click on it. The June/July forums should be at the top of the page because it is so active. If it doesn't come up the go to the search box and type it in there.

Hello :). Just wanted to say, my PS has been doing breast augmentations for over 27 years. He is a perfectionist and has an amazing reputation, so I definitely trusted in his advice regarding over vs. under. He said he rarely ever does overs and just doesn't like to in general because they never hold up as well over time and there's more risk for complications. I don't really have an opinion on this one way or the other since I'm no professional, just thought I'd share what he said! Maybe it would be helpful to look for other ladies like mamamel1974 who have had revisions from overs to unders and ask them to weigh out the pro's and con's. I can understand your concern about feeling the muscle move over the implant. That totally freaked me out at first and I hated the feeling but after 2 weeks I didn't feel it at all. And the only time anything looks a little strange is if I'm purposely flexing my chest muscles very tightly. Even then, it just makes my boobs look further apart, not ugly or deformed or anything. I don't notice any animation deformity while doing normal every day tasks. What does your PS say is best for you? I don't think the recovery of over vs. under should be a deciding factor if your PS says unders will definitely be better for you, remember that this is a long term investment! Good luck with everything :)

My doctor said the same thing about unders as yours but says due to silicone size and tissue I should see a nice result. Nobody really knows why CC occurs, and I've seen bad jobs and immune responses to both, I guess I will just have to put positive energy out there that whatever I do goes well! Thanks for your input I greatly appreciate it!

I can't believe I am going in for surgery Tuesday. I am so excited, but also nervous. I don't know if I told you guys I am doing local with IV sedation? Not general! I've already talked to doctor and anesthesia provider and they say I will sail through smoothly! No concerns! Have any of you done it that way? I was thinking I should buy something, like a new top or bra, but I am going to wait for measurements! Almost there!!!
