So due to get surgery in three weeks. 200cc teardrop overs as I do a lot of weight work. Been back and forth over decision and still have major worries like: will you feel the implant due to my lack of breast tissue (currently a AA cup) , worried about them not looking right and complications and scarring. Also stretch marks( does that happen). Dreading taking 6 weeks off weight lifting etc

Hi...my BA is scheduled for the same day! I'm also a 32AA. And 5'3", 108 lbs. I'm a mix of terrified and in denial! My doctor wants to do under the muscle because of my small chest wall and lack of tissue, but I work out a ton also and worried it will interfere with that. But my doctor did not even seem to think over the muscle was an option. I still have not picked out my size! I go Dec. 5th for that. Yikes. I am also terrified of not working out for six weeks. Like so scared I have contemplated backing out of it just for that fear alone. Working out is my therapy. I get depressed and irritated when I don't do it. I keep asking myself if all this is really worth six weeks of possibly losing my sanity! I wish I had an answer for you about the over/under debate. I do know I have read a few reviews on here of women who were small and went over because of their workout lifestyle and they seemed happy with the results. I'm going to address that with my doctor now. Do you have other concerns? I'm worried I will miss my current body, despite the fact that I've wanted "real boobs" forever. I also feel guilty for spending the money. And I am scared I'll be too big and regret it. I don't want to be big at all...just enough to fill out a bra without padding and feel confident being naked. Sorry I wrote a lot!

Hi, have exactly same body proportions by the sound of it and same concerns. I've always wanted to be bigger but as you say I don't want to be big either... just enough to give me the same profile that I have when I wear padding. Exercise is my therapy too. I know it will be six weeks at least before I can begin to do what I'm doing now and that is a horrible prospect. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do to keep busy.I also have the same concern that I won't like the results and won't be able to put my body back to as it was before. Are you going for round implants and any idea what size you think you will go for? I have already fired a panic email off to the surgeon regarding size but think I'm going to have to send another about over/under. I had my heart set on teardrops but have now heard they can rotate! There are just too many decisions...if only you could foresee the end results!!

So glad I am not the only one is worried about the workouts! Maybe it will be comforting to know someone else is going through it too. I know I don't want to go above 250 from what I have read and the pics i've seen. I think I want something more like 180-200cc. I really only want to go up a cup size. I have no idea what shape I will go for yet. I don't want fullness on the top at all. I want it to look as natural as possible. I thought I wanted teardrop but have read several stories about them staying high in the pocket and not dropping, making a fuller upper pole, which is exactly what I do NOT want! I have read a few women say that round are better for smaller, flatter women. But I honestly don't know. Gosh, I have not heard about them rotating until now...that would be bad. I guess if you had round it probably wouldn't matter if they rotate...? I have so many questions I need to ask my doctor still. What are you planning for shape? Are you settled on 200cc?

Ugh...I had to postpone until January 13th...my friend who will be helping me had to go out of town. I'm bummed but it had to be done. I feel very encouraged that you are already posting on the same day of surgery! That is a good sign. What size/type did you settle on?? Very interested to read about your progress!! Thank you for sharing :-)

At least you can enjoy Christmas and parties etc! I'm not too happy about that lol. I went for teardrop 185cc in the end. They look good and not too big and doc said they were quite a tight fit. Was painful when they bought me round but not much at all now although she said the swelling would really peak at day three. So I expect it to get worse. I have been eating straight away and walking round so now too bad

185cc...! That sounds like a good choice and I am very curious how they look! That's around the size I have been contemplating. Can't wait to see your pics. So glad you feel so good thus far. Gives me hope. Hope it continues to stay that way for you! Post pics when you can!! :-)

Hello:) I'm having my surgery December 19. 300 cc anatomical textured. I'm currently a 34A, and hoping to be a full C. My surgeon was not sure if I could have them placed under muscle because I have some loose breast tissue, and he said that placing them over the muscle would fill out the breast better. My stats are 103 lbs and 5,1". I have the same concern about being able to feel or see the implants. Kind of freaks me out! It seems to be more preferable to have them under the muscle. Less chance of rippling and capsules, and better for mammograms. I was very happy to find your review, and will be following it closely. Best of luck!

They look so good already!! What are you thinking? Do you feel good about it? I think they are really nice :-)

Thanks! I've had no serious regrets yet (touchwood). I'm surprised at how quickly I am recovering. I'm in today for a check and to have the dressings changed so will give you an update later but so far so good. I'm hoping the will soften and settle a bit more yet. How are you feeling about you op coming up?
