Since I was 18 after having my first child I wanted a Breast Augmentation. However I could not afford it back then. I had my second child at 23 and third at 25. I am now 27. With my last child My boobs actually got up to a full B sadly once my milk dissapeared so did my boobs. :( I am very flat chested. I wear a 32A bra around but I do not fill it at all. I have been to 4 different consultations and with this last plastic surgeon I finally feel confortable. I feel like my consult was booked for an hour and they spent an hour and a half answering my questions thoroughly and letting me decide what I wanted after hearing his opinions.. I am 5'6 115lbs. I fluctuate about 5 lbs as most women do. I am very active with my kids and I workout mostly cardio frequently. I am getting 340cc Saline under the muscle. I chose Saline because I have 3cm of upper pole tissue so it wont look round and wierd and also because im getting them under the muscle Ill be fine. I wanted saline because I am nervous about the whole silicone rupturing and leaking out into my body just basically health issues with them even though there are no proven issues with it. I have backed out of a surgery before and Im hoping with this one I can stick with it because I am one of those people who always thinks about the worst that could happen. I am TERRIFIED to go under the knife! Wish me luck and I will keep you updated to be sure my surgery date stays the same.

Just curious why youre picking overs? Everything I hear and read says its bad.
Not trying to discourage you, but really wondering what the benegits are. Ive seen few women go this route.

I have enough tissue to do overs, so the recovery is better and it really freaks me out knowing someone is cutting my muscle to stick an implant in it! Just my personal preference I guess! :) Plus I workout a lot and I hear that when your lifting weights you will have a deformation with unders, with overs you do not.

Every doctor ive gone to says Capsular Contracture is more likely. They also look more fake and will sag after a few years like natural boobs.
Just what Ive been told.
But, that is all up to chance.
My PS doesnt cut the muscle.

Yeah the capsular contracture is a risk no matter what. And if you do big ones i agree they will probably sag after years over the muscle. How do you go under the muscle without cutting it? Sorry, I havent heard of that before is why i ask lol

all 3 of my aunts have had them done, 2 over and 1 under and the 2 that did them over have saline overs and they don't have capsular. They are going on about 25 years but they have had them replaced a time or two, which is normal for that long of a time frame. Idk, I just don't like the fact that my muscle is being separated from my rib cage to stick something under it... a fear of mine i guess
February 14, 2017
That makes sense. Ya, the muscle separation is confusing. Doc says he doesnt cut.
What kind of distortion are you talking about when exercise is involved?

Another question.
What made you change your mind about silicone over saline?
Im thinking im doing 330 or 350 silicone with textured Sientra.
Im flat like you and also love to exercise.
My biggest fear is Contracture and Autoimmune Disorders. So I am with you the committment. I havent set a date yet.
How did you get past any of these fears...if you had them?

They actually told me with my measurements 330 cc would be cutting it close. I wanna do 300cc I think. I am also afraid of autoimmune but my mom and her sisters have them and are older with no issues. I still have fears but life is only so long am i just going to live it wishing I had done all these things or go for it....lifes just too short. I think autoimmune diseases are more common these days and so many woman have implants thats what they turn to blame it on honestly. Ive done a lot of research the past 10 years. Contracture is a fear as well.....my mom had it but hers was a knot she thought it was cancer at first but nothing too serious just a knot. Implants will have risks no matter what, fear is what brings on more problems so im trying to get past them all!! One day at a time!! I truthfully wanted saline because of the whole autoimmune diseases.......my mom has saline so UGH!!! the decision is REALLY hard! They try to say the new silicone wont leak out into your body its too thick but Idk who to believe!

With saline, ive seen some of these small girls get mold or bacterial infections in the implants....they say its rare....but that does not sound healthy!

like the bottom the muscle will squeeze the implant when you are lifting weights and cause a wierd look to it lol look it up it is odd but i don't think many people would notice unless they are staring right at your boobs and your clothes are skin tight. Either way my friend Katie had them done and she said its a weird feeling, hers are silicone unders. Shes taller than me 5'8 and she had 350 silicone unders. She likes them a lot and said her self confidence is way better now. I cant waiiiiitttt!! i put my deposit down today so there is no going back!!
