5'8, 40y/o, 172 Lbs Having 500cc Silicone Implants over Muscle in One Week!!!! - Vero Beach, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I am SO nervous. I have always felt my breasts...

WORTH IT$6,450
I am SO nervous. I have always felt my breasts are too small for my frame. I have not had the financial resources until recently to have a breast augmentation. I feel as if I am an 36 A cup, but as I have read in other posts Victoria Secrets (VS) does wonders and VS put me in a 36 B. I am writing this post because I really have not seen many posts for taller women having over the muscle silicone implants. At first I was very concerned about having the implants put over the muscle, but after searching the internet for pictures I am super excited and feel the results will be exactly what I expect. So, according to many internet sites I am overweight. I have lost 12lbs in the past 3 months and expect to loose another 15 over the next 5 months. My PS assured me that the weight loss should not affect my implants if the implants are done correctly. I have already picked up my meds and will go out to purchase a few button down tops as suggested by my PS. I will keep everyone updated to my progress. I can't believe it's finally happening.

Hi there! You have no idea how excited I was to see that someone else is going with silicone over the muscle! When is you surgery? Mine is on April 16th
April 8, 2015
I think I'm going with 350cc but am a bit shorter than you, only 5'5"
April 8, 2015
Mine is on April 16th too!!!! We are BA Buddies LOL. We will have to share hour ups and downs throughout this transformation. My doctor suggested 350 to 450. When he left the office his nurse gave me 450cc and 550cc to try on. I have very broad shoulders and no cleavage. The nurse told me just about all the other clients always mention they should have gone larger. I believe my frame will hold the 500cc well. (At least I hope so). I have yet to tell my parents they can be judgmental. Guess they will see after the fact...there will be no hiding my new physique.

I also have zero cleavage, so excited to get some! The conversation with my dad was a bit awkward but I was more concerned about my mother in law! I'm hoping for a full C/small D at the most. What are you hoping for?
April 23, 2015
Me too... But I had mine done on March 16... And I LOVE them :)

Hi! I'm 6 days post op. I'm 5'7", 159 pounds and went over the muscle silicone gel smooth round high profile, 590cc in left breast and 640cc in right. VS said I was a 36C, but PS said I was really a B. He said I should end up a D or DD, depending on where I buy my bra. Healing is going great. Still very swollen, but can't wait to see the final result! Good luck to you!

I forgot to mention that I am 41 yrs old and nursed 2 babies.

Do you have any pre and post op pictures? I have no idea what cup size I will be. I am thinking around a full D IDK guess I will know soon enough :)

I am 5'10" and going to have implants over the muscle, can't wait to see how yours turn out! Good luck
April 9, 2015
I will try to update the day after surgery and then for each follow up visit. I didn't find many over the muscle pictures or reviews in my weight range, so I am hoping my experience can benefit others :)
April 16, 2015
Today was the day!!! Everything went better than expected!!! I will post pics tomorrow (right now bandages an all are in the way). Just remember they are a bit swollen. I am in no pain just a little pressure. Will keep updating as they drop and fluff (I think the means unswell, settle into place, and soften) lol

It's hard to find taller women stories, I'm 5'10" and weigh 183, I'm working on losing 15 pounds. I'm now having my second consult in a week. What's your reason for choosing over the muscle instead under?
April 11, 2015
Everyone seems to want to know why I am going over the muscle. It is funny. At first I was like uh oh is this a mistake, but I have complete trust in my ps surgeon . He knows the result I am looking for and he informed me I have the right amount of tissue for the implant to placed over the muscle. Plus, it will help to achieve the results I am looking for. God luck with your journey, I can't wait to hear your story! Your right too, there are not many taller women with stories to research. That is also why we should make documentation of our journey because it will help others down the road :)

I agree with you. My PS said that the new silicone gel implants often times give you the same results as going under the muscle, so why put women thru the pain of going under. It really depends on how much breast tissue you have and I trust my PS to make the right choice. You really need to research your PS.

You can do it!! My surgery wasn't until 1:30pm, I thought I was gonna die! I was HANGRY!! LOL looking back, I did pretty good. Keep on top of your pain meds. Drink lots of fluids and take stool softeners! My surgery was on a Thursday and I was off pain meds by Saturday night. Going subglandular is the way to rock a recovery!! Be prepared for the engorged, tingling, "I gotta nurse a baby, and I don't care who's baby it is, RIGHT NOW" feelings! They last for about 10 days
April 16, 2015
Thanks for the positive support. I can't believe its today. I could not fall asleep to save my life last night and now I am groggy. I HOPE I LOVE THEM!!!!
April 16, 2015
Hahahaha I bet you felt like a little kid on Christmas Eve!! Maybe you'll be able to take a nap to get you thru the hunger pains. :-)

Good luck tomorrow! I think at your height and weight combo whether you lose the weight or not, you will love 500ccs. They may seem a tad big for the first few weeks but then they will settle down and you will love them. From what I have been reading, your pain level should be less by going over the muscle. I am 5'8" too and got 500ccs late Feb. Love them! Good luck and keep us updated!
April 16, 2015
THANK YOU !!! When you say settle down, what exactly does that mean?? I see others right drop and fluff??? I am guessing everyone is talking about more natural look and feel???
User Avatar
April 16, 2015
Yes I am referring to dropping and fluffing. Funny how I just got used to saying, " settling down" as it makes sense to me. They are swollen, high and very firm for the first few weeks and then D&F and that is when I got more used to them.
April 16, 2015
Czechchick, before they settled down, did you find that your natural breast tissue slightly sagged in the lower pole? I'm 14 days post op and sitting pretty high right now. I realize I have several weeks or a couple months before they will be their best. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that they will "fluff" and fill in enough. :-)

Hi redchat- my left breast was really high for about 4-5 weeks and yes I could feel my breast tissue in my lower pole. I couldn't wait for it to drop and fluff and catch up to my right breast which looked very nice and full and round because it D&F right away. I had to start wearing the compression strap over the left one to encourage it to D&F. Around week 6, it had caught up to the right one. At 2 weeks, I can see why you are looking for confirmation as they feel a bit foreign still. When they 'settle down' you will see and feel a fullness in your lower pole rather than all of that the natural tissue. Keep me posted as I am very interested in reading about all of our journeys through BA. I still have some incision site tenderness and am wondering when that will completely disappear?
April 17, 2015
Thank you Czechchick! That sets my mind at ease.
