Replacing 15 year saline implants with the new Sientra Gummy Bear using existing over the muscle pocket. I've read so many reviews it would be best under muscle but after 2 consults recommending using existing pocket. I wanted 600 cc which is what I thought would give me a D or DD cup. I asked the doc to fill up my pocket to its limit and ended up with 510cc's. I'm concerned I'm only going to end up with a full C. I was a very small C or Full B with the 270cc Saline. I look very round not a huge projection. Definitely bigger than I was just worried I should have gone larger and if the doc could have given me 550cc or 600cc perhaps that would look too big on me... Maybe the larger size would have caused me issues such as bottoming out... I have read on this site about the drop and fluff that makes you feel and look larger. Does anyone know if this occurs with someone that has had replacements over the muscle. The majority refers to under the muscle...

You look great. Very natural result! Can I ask, are they anatomical or round?

Since I'm over the muscle they seem to be dropping really fast! I was told since replacing implant in same pocket I didn't have to massage or wear a sports bra and to actually go braless waiting on tape on stitches to come off. It is really starting to itch!!! Anyone else over the muscle that is dropping fast? Afraid of bottoming out!!! I will take Picts and update soon! It is very helpful seeing and reading the updates!

I've known girls on another site with over the muscle implants hers are 1250 ccs and she began natural 32G but hers dropped quickly her PS recommend tight underwire sports bra's or bra's to keep from dropping anymore. But definitely get your PS okay first because some P's don't allow underwire until at least 4 weeks post op hope this helps. I don't have personal experience actually opposite problem they needed to drop because my skin was and is still super tight

Hi RC, I haved them over the muscle fir many years and had a capsule contaction on my right side and had them exchanged at that time fir gummys i had no rippling and would have kept them if my left would not have sagged do much, and the shapped like pears flat on the top! I dont know if they have round ones? But I had them exchanged for implant that are textured snd he lifted my left one amd would have been fine because I went fron a 350 to a 401cc but My cleavage had benn disected too much in past surgery and I hardly have any tissue and I got a bubble down on my cleavage and i have severe rippling!! I refuse to go under the muscle at my age 63 so I am thinking of using Seri . I will tell you my breasts were perky before the gummies and they really sagged!! Si use always a good support bra! Because they will sag because of their wieght! But I had no rippling with them!! I will use them if the come in round high profile this time!!!! Not looking forward to surgery again but I want to be happy!!!! You will be fine just always good support!! :0))
