Fitness Instructor with Mild Ptosis...Over or Under the Muscle?

Time for a lift and possible implant removal or exchange.

WORTH IT$6,900
Realizing now after 13 years, I really should have opted to have a lift when I originally had my breast augmentation. The surgeon did recommend I have the lift then and he did tell me that I ultimately would need one if I didn't. So, that's on me. Unfortunately he's now retired so I have to find a new surgeon.

Silicone 286cc moderate profile sub-glandular placement. My goal was to have very natural looking, fuller breasts with a little wow factor. I think my doctor achieved my goal. :)

Congratulation! your new breast looks wonderful!! I am also hesitant to go over or under the muscle as I am a yoga teacher :). Can you feel your implants? which shape did you get teardrop or round? Many thanks for posting about your journey...it is wonderful being able to follow your progresses.

Sub-glandular 286cc Silicone (over the muscle)

I am so happy I trusted my doctor and went over the muscle. I had mild ptosis and he suggested going over the muscle for various different reasons that I've mentioned in my previous comments. I now have very natural looking, filled out breasts with great cleavage and they I don't get any animation or distortion when I exercise, which is all of the time. I'm very petite, so we went with a small size, just enough to fill out the lose skin and stay proportionate to my body. My doc isn't into "putting cantaloupes on an ironing board" his words. I'm very happy.

You look great! Congrats;)
Awww...thanks! I wish I'd done it years ago. I love the result. Good luck with yours!
Thanks very much ;)
So you should be happy! You are a perfect description of me, I'm 5'4.5", 105lbs (approx as we go in kgs in Oz), I'm a droopy B cup and my PS has recommended sub glandular silicone. I've sort of decided on 300cc but yet to fully decide. Yours look so natural, your PS did a wonderful job! What cup size did 286cc bring you to?
MTBN we are in the same boat, except I weigh a bit more than you- 125lbs.
I have a very narrow ribcage so I've been fitting into size 30DD or 32D bras. I sometimes wish if gone just a little bit bigger but I think everyone feels that way. It's kind of like diamond rings. Once you get one, you're so excited and then you wish it were a little bigger. :)
How do you measure your rib cage? I don't want to be any bigger than a small D so I really need to make sure I choose the right around of cc's
