7wks flexed/non flexed pics
Ive been asked how it is and looks when my pec muscles are flexed. I dont feel it looks too much diff or that you can tell there is a fake implant under there especially with a bra. its just a weird feeling which i think will go away with time.

I'm 5 weeks post op and that sensation of feeling your pec kinda lifted off your sternum when using the pec is so weird!!!! I am far away from being able to do any sort of lifting with my upper body but like you said I think the weird feeling will go away over time. Or at least I hope so.. :)

Yes very weird but im slowly getting use to it or expecting it! I started very light. Like w 5lbs and just went through the movements to see how everything felt. Basically my pecs get tired during lifting if that makes sense, like where they were cut. Shortly after my workout everything feels fine.

We're very similar! It definitely feels weird! I'm 6 weeks post-op and have my doctor visit tomorrow. She has restricted me from doing anything (except elliptical and stationary bike) up until now. I hope she gives me the green light tomorrow so I can start lifting again! (not too heavy of course)…

Yea, i started really light. Everything felt weird but slowly started to go up in weight and the feeling of the pec activating isnt such a surprise anymore.

Everything is going good. Min soreness but that is due to this being my 1st real week of lifting back in the gym. But i dont really have soreness otherwise. My boobs are still dropping and havent filled out in the bottom yet.
Today i bought a real bra and the 34dd and 36 d fit well. Just needed one for my nicer shirts. Still dont want to buy many since my boobs arent done dropping and sports bras are way more comfortable. Im able to fully lay on my sides but not on my stomach. Just uncomfortable.

My demensions and chest build is exactly your before.. I have very developed pecs and am very worried about the chest flex deformity with implants being placed under the muscle...I can see my chest muscles move just with any movement or excercise so my question to you as a developed pec sister how do they look while opening a jar, pushing door open, I play at the pool a lot with my kids and don't want the obvious fake boob look. I'm also going a little smaller than you... 250-275ish. I'm a personal trainer and in the gym most days.. I can't see giving up chest excercises as well... ANY info is extremely helpful!! Thanks so much! And super impressed with your fitness! Great work! :)

Hi! I understand your concerns. Im going to upload flexed/non flexed pics very soon to give u an idea. I dont feel like it looks weird at all. It's just you can definately feel when they are being flexed. I think that will go away with time and being fully healed. As with not working out chest i dont think that will be a problem eventually. It's just goin to feel weird and because of healing and you have to start light with everything. Im 7wks out now and the only thing i have to go a lot lighter while lifting is triceps and a few back exercises but that isnt bc of pain it is bc how it feels with my pecs being flexed. As for opening a jar or door.. i dont notice my pecs

My opinion... if u r my dimensions and if u are around my height and weight plus workout i think 275 will not be noticable. If u are thinner than me then mayb. I have a friend that got 350 and she is much smaller than me and i would have been so unhappy w tbe 275 the 1st doc wanted to go w. I got 450 but think i would have been just as happy w 400.

Thank you so much for your experience! My stats are 5'4" 125 muscular... but definitely developed back shoulders and chest. Just genetically really cuz I dint focus on them really that much. So I'm hopeing to feel a little more feminine after :) not quite so much like Starla off Neapolitan dynamite! Lol. Sometimes I see 300 on some girls and they look huge. Haha. I had 3 kids nursed them all 2 years each at least.. so I'm like a 32-34b but the b cups aren't ever wide enough for my chest. I don't want to look like I got my chest augmented by goi g with small implants and just look thick chested either. So thanks for the idea in size as well :)

I posted some.
Yea, i researched a lot and seen some 400-450 that looked huge on some people and small on others and was so nervous but at the end i let the doc decide. She told me she might have to go smaller bc my pec muscles were so big.
I was told if you like a certain cc always go 50 over bc you lose some when they go over the muscle. Anyways, my doc and i talked and i trusted her to make the final decision on the sizes we discussed and i think they r greatm just will take some time getting use to either way. I didnt want them to be noticable where someone could look and tell. More like if they didnt really know me that something might look different about me.. if that makes sense

Totally makes sense. I have heard the facts about losing 50 or so once under the tissue. Might be more likely to lose 25 if not under the muscle.. but either way will be losing some! So I think in the 275 range will probably suit me well.. I trust my PS judgment on size. So now I just have to make the final decision on placement... under or over.. haha. It's so hard to feel sure about it!
