260 mini - one month update

WORTH IT
One month update. Top pec muscles still tight and swollen but very happy with the results so far. Unbiblical and ventral hernia mesh repair scheduled in two weeks. Then most of the postpartum battle damage will be under control, lol

Hey thank you for posting this review! I have a similar body type to you, have breast fed 2 children and do a lot of weight lifting which has left me with no breast tissue. I'm booked to get motiva mini either 205cc or 220cc. How are the low profile implants settling now? The pics look amazing BTW so I'm happy I'm going with mini!
Wonderful, I an sure you will be happy with your decision. They have definitely settled more since and will for some time to come as my pec muscles are pretty tight.
I do have quite a lot of animation deformity so really ask your surgeon about how he/she will create the breast pocket to prevent this, especially of you do weight training. I had a sub-muscular dual plane type 2. If I use my pec muscles the breasts pull sideways which is very annoying. I don’t run around in a bikini or skimpy clothing so it will mostly me that is aware of it, but still annoying none the less.
I would 100% again choose the mini profile again!!
Wishing you a pleasant and relatively pain free experience!! It will be worth it
Hi, how are you finding the shape and size now that it's been a few months? My surgeon has told me I need between 230cc and 260cc in the mini profile to ensure the loose skin can be filled and that the smaller size I wanted may result in a mastopexy which I'm not keen on. I'm booked for 5th July and will likely have the same size as you :-)
Hi, sorry for the delay in reply! O wow your op date is getting close now, how exciting!

I would say my implants look pretty similar to the last update I posted with pics, maybe just feels a bit softer.
Since I have started training for half ironman distance triathlons and the cycling and running is perfectly fine, but making my chest muscles stronger is just amplifying the animation deformity. It doesn’t bother me while I swim but doing simple things like picking up things or pushing down makes the implants move as the pec muscles flattens when tightening and it is horrible. I am unsure whether I would do it all again if I had the chance simply because of that. Sport is such a big part of my life.
That said you very quickly get used to your new look and probably would be unhappy to be all flabby again, LOL

In terms of sizing I also would have preferred smaller, but also would have needed a lift if I went that route.

Please let me know how everything went!!! Praying it all goes well
Thank you! This has been so helpful and I really appreciate the response. I do a lot of weight training and my coach has mentioned that chest training may be a thing of the past after this so it'll be interesting to see how the healing goes. Hope your training is going well! I'll let you know how it goes once I've had the procedure. Hoping to get away with the 230cc!
I have found no problem with weight training chest muscles at all, except that it temporarily moves the implants, so it feels a bit strange when the muscles contract. But I guess training your chest muscles a lot will increase animation deformity.

Fingers crossed you get away with the smaller implant!! And remember to rest well the first two weeks especially :-)
I am sure you are going to love the results!!

260cc Dual Plane After Kids

Day3 post op and recovery has been a breeze. Dr Aimee Jenkin is the best surgeon ever and such a down to earth person.
I am very sporty so didn’t want anything too large, just wanted to fill up what I had before kids. Went for 260cc Motiva round implants as I wanted some upper pole fullness. There is still a lot of swelling so not sure how much fullness I will lose once swelling goes down. Fingers crossed that surgery won’t affect strength for swim training and running won’t be uncomfortable with the larger ‘puppies’
Glad to have done this for myself, at age 46 at least my boobies will look youthful, lol.

They look so much smaller on the pics than they feel and look in real life. Is that normal!?

Thanks for posting so soon after your procedure - I hope you progress well, and please feel free to update anytime through your recovery.

Hi, I like your finished result and you’ve got a similar before to me! Did you go for Demi or mini profile?
Hi! I went for mini and really glad I did as I didn’t want lots of projection. The mini profile was more than enough to fill them up. All the best if you are still going for the op!!!
Brilliant, thanks!
I’m having my procedure with Dr Jenkin this week. Your before looks like me and I also live in the gym so am worried about chest muscle affecting the implants. I’m also anxious about recovery time as a single mom - did you go under the muscle?
Hi are these ergonomix or standard Motiva implants?
Hi, they are the standard mini profile Motiva :-)
