Just a quick question. I am a 32AA as well and a very petite build (5'7, 110 lbs). I'm turning 39 in May and this is my present to myself. I always liked my small breasts - until I breast fed three kids and the look of them changed dramatically (think perky to droopy). I don't want to go quite as large, perhaps between a B and C. Were your options limited because of our petite body size and pre-surgery breast size (e.g. type of implant, location of implant)? Thanks.

Hi! We have a similar profile - I'm not as petite as you are, being 5'8 and 118, but close. You can probably see from my profile pics that I had basically a boy's chest prior to my BA, and my doctor said I simply do not have enough skin to go bigger than 275. He wanted to give me 250s and I said 300, and he said we will split the difference. He also said for me above muscle is better as I have pretty developed pectoral muscles, and also I have some pre-existing health issues (I'm on anti-coagulants) that would make under muscle more risky. I did not talk to him about location of implant; just let him decide. I could have done saline but prefer the cohesive gel. I also breastfed 3 kids! :)

You look great! Can't believe you were able to resume working out so quickly! I'm very active too and 'm dying to get back to the gym but my PS is adamant, no cardio for 2 weeks. I'm one week post op and going so crazy already, I started doing leg lifts in bed yesterday! Lol

Thank you! I was shocked too at how quickly my doctor said I can resume workouts! His view is that the sooner I move the quicker the recovery will be. Sounds counterintuitive but it worked for me. You only have one more week of non activity so hang in there!

I really love your results and I will be discussing above the muscles with my doctor

I think some of us , or me rather, worry about the possibility of feeling the actual implant being that it's over the muscle rather than somewhat concealed under the muscle. Recovery over the muscle is definitely much easier, but for some reason I have the belief that under the muscle may appear more natural? Although I have seen natural looking over the muscle as well. To each her own :-)

I think whether or not one looks natural also has a lot to do with how big one chooses to go. Mine are pretty modest (I actually thought they were big until I saw that most people on this site go way bigger!). At 4 weeks, mine has settled quite nicely and they look almost too natural lol (i.e., not big enough!).

My PS told me under the muscle also makes it easier to read a mammo so if there is any concern about that it's usually the better choice.
