Breast Augmentation???

I have my second consultation tomarrow afternoon. I was planning on implants over a year ago, but found out I was pregnant shortly before. It has been over six months since my delivery, and I am getting back into pretty good shape.

I am wondering if there are any women here who have had breast implants, and if so were they sub-glandular? I'm planning on going sub-glandular (above the muscle) because Ive been working very hard on build my chest. I am going very large....800-850cc implants. I know it is a longshot, but if you have had this procedure I would love to know how long you took off before lifting. If you have had behind the muscle (sub pectoral or semi pectoral) it is completely diff. and takes longer...so I've read. Any feedback is appreciated.
 
What size are you now? Why would you want to go so big? I've seen pictures of women who are a size "A" who go to a "C" and they used a saline implant of 325 cc. The breasts looked beautiful when things healed up. Not to be cruel or mean in any way....but I would think that 800 - 850 cc's would just be circus like.
Why go so big? They wouldn't look normal. Not very attractive...IMO anyway.

As far as your question...if under the muscle or over the muscle would be best....I would think that over the muscle would be good for someone who works out all the time. But I really don't know for sure. I would think that the question should be asked to the physician who would be doing the surgery.
Best of luck to you.
 
I just had a child. I was a small D, and Now I'm a Small C with alot of droopy skin. An 850 will put me at an E. E's arent' as big as you think. They say that whatever your doctor tells you your cup size is after the sugery, you are going to look a whole cup size smaller in clothing.

Thanks for your input.
 
I was considering implants with a lift previously...........are you going with that or just the implant?? What type of scar did the PS say you would have?

Good luck & let us know how it goes!
 
That's like porn-star big.

I nursed for six years running and have post-nursing ptosis...I've got A cups now, and am going to wait another year (I quit nursing two years ago) to see how they end up before I go in for a reconstruction. (They've already improved quite a bit in terms of droopiness, etc.) Even then I don't think I'm going to get implants...I can't imagine trying to work out with big hooters...the guys have enough trouble not staring at my gym.

But Angel Chick is right...you should ask your doctor about recovery time.
 
implants over the muscle have a higher chance of hardening (capsular contraction), drooping & rippling.... ask you PS about "partials"-- they look much more natural & wont interfere w/your pec muscle training.
 
Alright guys, I'm sorry for the previous confusion...I meant 425 each. I just got back from my consultation, and decided to go with a 500 filled to 540cc's implant. I do not need a lift, but decided to go under the muscle. This will put me at a little larger than an F. The incision will be underneath. The recovery time is minimal: 2-3 days before I can do cardio and 2-3weeks before I can resume any heavy chest exercises such as a bench is what he told me. I'm very exited.
 
Are you sure you want to be that large I am a 34DD and sometime I feel huge. I have little back pain but I think that is cause I stay fit however if I was bigger I am sure I would have some serious back pain. Think that size over seriosly. I find it hard enough finding a DD bra and F would be dam near impossible. Regardless of what you do best of luck.

not true- esp w/400cc implants. You can do light cardio (like walking) in a wk or so-- heavy lifting or any chest-- about 4-6wks.

Not to discourage you cuase implants are amazing!!! but expect a longer recovery time if you dont want to f up your chest. (cuase under muscle implants can MOVE out of the pocket if you train too soon post-surgery).

I forgot to mention that the bra's are hard to come by, but you can find any size: 34f, ff, gg all the way up to zz at a place called the Bust stop here where I live. The bra's average around $50. I don't know it this is a chain or individually owned. Have you heard of it?
 
"425 each is still huge"

Not really.

It all depends on your frame and type of implant. 800 cc isn't as big as you might think if they are silicone.

We kicked this around extensively on the chemical muscle board with plenty of pics and comments. Some excellent threads on the topic over there if you care to check it out. Haven't posted there in some time and won't again, so I don't know if the threads still exist, but if they do, they are worth checking out if you want in in-depth and well done discussion on the topic.

Geez....I can't imagine have such huge boobs. I am hoping that as I lose fat my boobs will get smaller. But all the power to you.

This is true...if you look at any before and after pics online, you will see women who went from a D to an F using 800cc saline's even...they have also had multiple children and have extremely saggy boobs. Mine aren't that bad, but they will not be "circus like" by any means.

That is a great thread over there. The board is called something different now, not Chemical Muscle anymore. I haven't been there in awhile, and probably won't again either, but the thread was there a couple weeks ago. It is in the female health section.

your gonna LOVE them!!! I remember I didnt tell anyone cause I was pretty nervous about what my freinds might think-- then afterwards theyre all like-- "hey whats your new chest routine-- your boobs look great!!" lol.

its def. the best investment you'll ever make :)
 
Good Luck babe.

I had surgery a year and a half ago - went through the belly buttton and also went over the muscle. I am now a D to small DD (what an oxymoron) :) I was back in the gym after a week.

If you're looking for a support website and other information about implants check out www.breastimplants4you.com

Keep us posted on the boobages :)
 
I have 750cc saline implants and my breast size is 36dd and I was a size c before. Do you plan on any other children. Because it really sucked when I just had my baby. They went to a size 40E. It was no fun at all!!!!
 
boscoe wilson said:
Thanks for the support and the link...I have actually already checked that site out. What size were you before?
Click to expand...

I was a barely b (alittle saggy) and now D to DD

I used a high profile implant (gives more projection, less roundness) and it was 300cc overfilled to 400cc, make sure to overfill that way you dont get ripples.
 
I'm going with a high profile 505 filled to 540cc. I don't think I'll have a problem with ripples since I'm going behind the muscle tissue.
 
My personal opinion here after studying many pics and seeing them in the real world, of over and under the muscle implants (saline and silicone) in women lifters, I just don't care for under the muscle. Too much lateral projection that leaves a big gap in the center of the chest, too much movement when the pecs "flex", many times producing a very unnatural look (implants jump all over), and development of a pocket under the pec with considerable movement of the implant, plus the pec gets ripped up during surgery.

Ripples are minimal with silicone implants and they give a much more natural appearance (tear drop effect). Even under the muscle salines will show ripples where the implant meets skin.

Having said all of that, I have seen a few, key word few good under the pec jobs, but not usually in muscular women.

The surgeon knowing what they're doing relative to your needs and body type is also critical.

Just my two cents.

I have mine under the muscle. I've seen alot of girls implants and know that they look more natural that way!! Mine are close together and have no ripples!!!!

But what BF% are you? I think W6 is referring to people who get the BF very very low, therefore, these issues become more pronounced. The lower the BF, the more of a chance they look 'unnatural'.
 
Hi there! I have had two BA surgeries so I thought I would share my experience. I was a D pre-pregnancy (son was born in 1990). I breast fed and shrunk down to a small C with a lot of ptosis. My first surgery was 400 cc silicon implants over the muscle with a donut mastopexy (because I didn't want the scars associated with a full lift). That brought me up to a DD and they looked awesome for about three weeks when they started sagging severely. By six weeks I was a very saggy DD. My second surgery was four months after the first. I kept the implants with a full mastopexy. They looked great for two months before they started sagging again. They are not nearly as saggy as before the last surgery, but I am not happy with them. Now my doctor suggests slightly smaller implants but under the muscle. I never wanted to go under the muscle because of the reasons previously stated on this thread. Anyway another surgery with new silicone implants are cost prohibitive right now anyway. I am a DD and think they are too big. I wear size 2-4 pants and everything on top has to be at least a 6 sometimes 8, and is too large everywhere else except the boobs. If I had it to do over I would go with about a 325 cc implant. That is my experience anyway for whatever its worth...
 
I wanted to go over the muscle until the doctor told me that I would be sagging in no time with the size I wanted. I don't need a lift, but he said that a few more years without implants and I would have needed one. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't happy with yours, but it sounds like your surgeon didn't offer the best fit for you. I am 5'4 1/2 with a medium build. I am not into fitness or figure, but BB. I don't forsee any real trouble anytime in my near future in the way of chest muscle. We'll have to see what happens.
 
so its the under inflation that causes those ripples. I always wondered about that.

Boscoe, best of luck with the new boobies chica! You should use this thread to keep us updated on the surgery and post op results. Believe me there are tons of other ladies who would be very interested in following your experience.
 
I saw a bad bood job in a porn movie last night and I thought of this thread...the scars were visible, which wasn't the worst of it...the worst of it was how they looked when they bounced. Like two solid lumps moving around in the softness of her real breasts. Yucky. I think I'd rather have small ones that bounce like they should.
 
It made me wonder how many women think about how their breasts move in action, rather than just how they look in the mirror, standing still.
 
My husband makes me do naked jumping jacks for kicks sometimes (we are normal I swear) Anyhow, I'll bet it looks worse than I could imagine!
 
Ms Wilson has 650 cc over the muscle biofit (teardrop) salines. She has had them for over 5 years. No sagging at all, only ripples when she is less than 7% bodyfat. They look natural but with less sag and more projection at 15% bodyfat.

And, you'll still have ripples with overfilled salines at a low percent bodyfat (less than 7-8%). No way around it, and they will have an "implant" look when you're lean as the border of the implant is more pronounced. Silicone over the muscle are the best solution for a female physique athlete in my opinion.

But it is still an individual choice and what YOU are happy with.

W6
 
What size were her breasts before though? Mine went from a small D to a Small C/large B because of a pregnancy, and my doctor doesn't even offer saline as an option.
 
In the US, silicone is offered to women who already have saline and are replacing the implants. And not all Doctors will work with silicone.
 
Why what? Why some doctors don't work with silicone? My guess would be potential lawsuits and/or insurance rates.

Mmmm....I havent really thought about that since mine first really filled in when I was about 14. But on a tangental note, I dont like the feeling of them bouncing. I'm a full C and the weight of them bouncing when I run really irks me. Also I imagine (irrationally) that I can feel the skin stretching when each bounce!

Same here Anya! :) Although with losing BF, I am now a middle-C. But the heavy training on chest and back have changed me from a 34 to a 35.... now I'm all screwed up on bras. I used to KNOW I was a 34C. Now I'm a 34C sometimes, sometimes a 36B, or 36C. Whatever!

Really ironic isnt it that guys trip on the bouncing boobage and we're uncomfortable with it a lot of times. I'm planning on a lift by age 35 for sure.
 
Getting a lift after I have children.... no point in doing it before! That and my tummy tuck. lol

Although I will say, with heavy chest training my boobage has changed CONSIDERABLY. They sit "higher" now. Weird.

That's really typical. Same with me. With regular exercise your pecs stay partially contracted all the time which lifts the boobs noticably. My mom thought it was some new bra I was wearing at first; she noticed it before me.

I went to a PS to have my boobs looked at for a lift. Background: I am a 36D now down from a 40D then down to a 38DD. This is all natural. I am pretty saggy now, but was told I would have implants & an anchor scar -- the scar would look like an anchor -- YUCK!!

My hubby isn't a boob guy & really doesn't care much about them but he says no scar at all.

Now for liposuction however.....hmmmmmmmmmm :)
 
I've seen the after pics of the anchor scars, but they always seem to be 3days post-op...Don't really know what they look like healed.
 
I think that's what I'll get if I get a reconstruction for the ptosis (btw, I'm a 36A...now that's a hard bra to find!). I've seen some scars 6 months post op that were still pretty red, but I've heard that eventually they fade pretty well...and with a really good surgeon the scars should be minimal. (And there are creams that work pretty well to get rid of them, if you're willing to spend the money).

Anya, there's a company called Title 9 that makes some serious sports bras, if you want to really minimize that bouncing.

Second that - great idea. Their 'Frog Bra" is awesome. I won't run without it. I have 4! :)
 
another question

So I'm 3 weeks into a Deca cycle, and I get my info for my surgery...you know all the basic drugs to stop taking now so that they are out of my system...ibuprofin, lower my dosage of vitamin E...all that jazz, but what about the deca? My op is on Feb 26th, but I'm getting ready to hit the good stuff next week so should I lay off by the first of Feb, or just stick it out until the op? What do you gals think? I wish I could just ask the doc!
 
bosc- I think you really should ask your doc... a friend of mine was on some asthma meds pre-surgery but didnt tell her PS (cuase she stopped taking it about 2-3wks pre-op). Well, just as they started the anesthesia-- her BP fell radically. They woke her up immediately & didnt do the surgery that day (they did it later on).

anyway-- def tell your doc what your taking-- could save your life.
 
Damn!!..those will be big balloons!..I'd love to have my wife getting a couple of those...

I've heard that silicone looks and feel a lot more realistic than saline implants...is that true?

Also what is the difference in going under or over the muscle?

djufo.
 
Although I don't know much about silicone, saline under the muscle probably looks the same as silicone because the pectoral muscle covers most of the implant. Overs look very round and eye-appealing, but are not necessarily an option to everyone. It really depends on what kind of breasts, size, elasticity, etc she has right now. Under provides more of a lifting appearrance for someone who might need a lift in the somewhat near future. The overs, in some cases, tend to sag more with time, but have a much shorter recovery time. I wanted overs, but my surgeon told me that unders would look best for my breast type.
 
And getting them under the pecs means you'll never be able to train your chest again right?. I can't imaging squeezin' pecs over the boobs...that'll be nasty...lol.
 
No. That is totally not true. Who told you that? Believe me, that is the first thing I asked. The recovery time is a little longer. I wont be able to work my chest for 4-5 weeks.
 
Nobody tol me...I was just thinking...if the implants are under the muscle...that means the pecs will be over the boobs??...or it is just under a little portion of it to give some shape?...I can't imagine how is that kind of surgery but since I'm a big balloons lover I'm interested.
 
I believe they cut the pec, put in the implant, then reattach. You can still train chest with under the muscle implants.
 
Can you train chest just as hard & heavy? I had heard from someone who had implants that they couldn't.....my PS wants to give me a lift with an anchor scar, which I don't want with implants....I may get another consultation & see if I can get a crease scar....

This is what they do, only the pectoral muscle only covers less than half of the implant. The top half is covered by the muscle only.
 
Over the muscle implants should not affect chest training at all. Opinions differ, however, on UNDERs. Some surgeons tell their patients "no heavy chest work ever", or even NO chest work. Mine said "You should be able to do whatever you did before the surgery after the surgery". A lot of this might(?) also depend on the size of the implant, with larger implants possibly having more limitations.

I waited a LONG time before doing chest again, like 2-3 months. Once I started back, if anything felt funny, I backed off. Now everything's back to normal, but I don't do fly movements anymore.

What are you doing to train chest? I do Flys, Wide grip bench (flat) incline bench. I'm thinking I will wait at least a month or two, but when I do get back into chest, I might just stick with training my upper chest and lay off the lower.
 
I started back with just light incline dumbbells, but gradually worked back to incline, flat, and decline. Our gym also has an upright (like sitting in a chair) bench press machine. I do a lot more dumbbell work (versus barbell) now. Not really because of the implants, but because one of my pecs used to be way more developed than the other.

OMG are you serious!?!?!? It gets better!? In my avatar I'm not just covering the vitals, I'm holding them up! LMAO!

I used to be a D cup, now I don't even quite fill a B cup! Seriously, I have never had breasts smaller then C since I was 12!! And the largest I wore while breastfeeding was a G cup. It will be a year since I stopped nursing (had 4 babies nursed them all a year or more - self weened) in March and I thought it was only down hill, or should I say down tummy from here! I actually like my new size, except for the fact that my @$$ and waist aren't shrinking down to meet my new pair (measurements 34.5 27 37 - eww!) and that they SAG! Grandma Klump aint got nuthin' on me baby!

Anway, now that your all probably disgusted, I'm glad to hear that it may not be permanant after all! Tell me more wend!! I don't think I'd ever have any sort of elective breast sugury, Nipple sensation is of utmost importance to me and ANY loss would be a devistation to my ability to enjoy my wifely duties...

GET THEM DONE SO THAT THEY LOOK NATTY! ALL THESE YANK PLAST SURGEONS GIVE YOU SKIPPY BALLS.... SERIOUSLY MAKE SMALL NATTY TITS INTO BIGGER "NATTY" TITS NOT INTO BALLS
 
Robert, I think that may be easier said than done.

Saddlebags, yes, it does get better. When my youngest weaned, my breasts deflated terribly, and they pointed toward the floor. Now, 2.5 yrs later, they point where they should, though they still sag quite a bit and are still "empty." I started lifting six months ago, and they're looking MUCH better. The muscle is filling up the skin, and I'm losing fat there (and everywhere, slowly but surely). It's getting tough to find a bra that fits (I'm a 37 less-than-A), though I recently found a teen bra that lifts them up nicely! I'm also massaging them (a nice, sensual ritual) after every shower with Avalon Organics CoQ10 skin firming lotion, which is helping the skin elasticity (less saggy and wrinkly looking). I'm hopeful that given enough time and muscle, they'll develop into a shape that I can feel really good about (and that will feel really good).
 
I breastfed for over a year and wore a JJ cup bra. Before that I was a DD/DDD. After I quit nursing, lost weight, started training, I was down to a small D and sagged horribly. I had no choice but to get a lift and since I was going in for that I figured I'd get implants to bring me back up to close to what I used to be as a D or DD. I went with 450's, round high profile, overfilled, under the muscle and am pretty happy with them. Size is perfect, I'm a 36D in most bras. I've had complications with infection causing some scaring in areas and even though the surgery was done last April, I'm still dealing with infection from time to time. My body is rejecting the sutures, so I'm getting the lift portion redone in Feb. to get rid of the scars and to get the lift a bit higher.

Most women don't realize this, but there are two ways of going under the muscle...partial or completely under the muscle. I went completely under because I don't want to see the bags at all and I don't want to risk them dropping which would cause my boobs to sag yet again. Here's a site with info. detailing overs, partially unders, and completely unders:

http://www.advanced-art.com/Breast-Aug-Over-Under.htm

Aside from risking future sagging, another reason I went under the muscle was to ensure clear mamograms in the future. If you go with overs, they can only do an ultra sound which isn't nearly as effective in detecting cancer. I'm almost 38 and things like this are very important to me.

I haven't trained chest much at all since the augmentation. When I do it simply hurts. My left side has some capsular contracture from the infection so with the new surgery the doc. will have to cut back into the muscle to correct it. Even doing skull crushers on the smith machine is pretty painful. Hopefully I'll be training chest again after this is fixed.

The anchor scar isn't bad. The line is very thin and if you tan it's hardly noticible. Just stick in some red lightbulbs in your bedroom and your guy won't even see them after a few months. LOL The color of the scar will be fairly dark for about 9 months post op, but by a year afterwards, it's very faint. The stitching is done on the inside so it's litterally a pencil thin line. Personally I'd rather have nice perky boobs with a little line on them than saggy boobs.

Going under the muscle also helps keep the breasts feeling natural especially if you have a decent amount of breast tissue beforehand. Mine aren't spread wide apart either. During the first few months post-op you need to massage them into place. It's not a fun massaging...it's more like pushing the implants under the muscle in towards your cleavage, but doing this religiously helps loosen the muscle so that the implants move into the right place.

The pain right after surgery really sucks with under the muscle implants. It's like...imagine having a softball shoved under your pec and the muscle being stretched tightly over it. Thank goodness for vicodin! I remember waking up in the middle of the night when the pain meds had worn off, barely able to get into a sitting position, then trying to open the pill container...I quickly learned not to tighten it all the way because I could barely push and twist that damn top to open it! You have no idea how many daily movements use your pec muscles! I also found that using a step stool for cooking helped a lot. I'm short. LOL

You won't be able to wear a regular bra for about 6 weeks post-op. I found my favorite bras at Target, sports bras that zip up the front. I wore those or just tank tops with shelf bras most of the time.

Nipple sensitivity...at first I had one nipple that was overly sensitive to the point where just my shirt brushing against the nipple hurt and the other was almost completely numb. Now, 9 months later, they're both just a little more sensitive than they were before. :)

OK...I've yacked enough here. I'll just add a few links and wish you all luck!

Damn, Puddles, I don't think I could take that much pain. I had to have a needle biopsy about a year and a half ago for a lump in my breast, and dang! That hurt while it healed. More power to you. And best of luck for the infections...a good friend had to have a lumpectomy and had recurrent infections afterwards...they finally hit it with a broad-spectrum antibiotic and knocked it out for good. I hope they can get rid of yours, too.
 
Mrs. Puddles, Thank you very much for the info. I am going partial to avoid a lift. I am still a few years from needing one, but my PS thinks this will make it so that I will never need one, or not for many years to come. I actually have these links in my fav's already! I've been surfing for info for a couple of years now. Sorry to hear about the infections. Its good to hear that you didn't lose any nipple sensitivity. I sure hope I don't! Thanks again.
 
I'm not anticipating any problems this time. I'm going to be on a 2 week course of antibiotics before surgery, plus again for a little bit after surgery and we're using some special sutures that are pre-treated with an antibiotic. Then a few months after this I'm going in for my long awaited tummy tuck! I've got a busy few months ahead of me here. :)

Bosco...hopefully you'll never need the lift but if in years to come you do need one, don't be scared. The implants were the tough part, a lift isn't nearly as painful and the scaring will be minimal in time. Good luck, hun! Make sure you fill us in on how things went after surgery.
 
Partials means that the implant will be placed partially underneath the pectoral muscle. (1/4 will be below the pectoral muscle to give more of a lifting appearance.) I've seen pics, but as the time nears (less than 3 weeks) I'm getting frightened! Partials are used for patients who aren't yet candidates for a lift, but could be in the very near future.
 
Yes...but I have an update! I've decided to go over. Screw it...if I have to get it done again in 5-10 I'll deal with it. I don't want to hinder my chest gains by being out for over a month...and besides, some (some) women who go under are so paranoid they never train chest again...(I would have probably fallen into that category.) So whopeee! No neverending healing time! I feel so much better.
 
That sounds like a good choice for you. You shouldn't go into a procedure full of fear (at least not one that's elective...sometimes we don't have a choice, of course), that's for sure! Good for you!
 
boscoe, please let us know how your surgery went, etc etc..........I know you have some time, but I'd love to hear the details if you are willing to share
 
I'm very willing. I have my pre-operation consultation tomarrow, then the surgery is two weeks from then. I will update on thursday if there are any changes. Thanks for the support everyone!
 
i have a question - how come you guys have had implants at all?
what are the benefits of having bigger boobs? is it just to keep them from sagging or what?

i've been a 34A since i was 12 and i've never once wished for bigger breasts. in fact, if my boobs get permanently bigger with pregnancy, i'll be super upset. i can't see why anyone would want big breasts??? don't they just get in the way?

i certainly agree that people should do what makes them happy, but i really don't get this implant thing...can anyone explain?

and please don't think i'm getting down on anyone...i'm not!!! i just really don't understand what the attraction is??

Ask a woman that had one or both removed because of breast cancer that question.

what does having a breast removed due to breast cancer have to do with my question?
 
Shak -

In the same way that you are happy with what you have, the other extremes are getting bigger or getting them removed. In most cases it is a personal choice and you can't really answer the question in a way to someone who doesn't see it as an issue. Technology makes it a viable option to consider and some people consider it something that they want. I would agree that if you are going to go that route, you need to be realistic about what you expect out of it and also be aware of the risks & responsibilities related to it.

To answer your question, well sometimes they get in the way, but generally no.

I think w6's comment is saying some people would be very happy to have the problem of boobs getting in the way, if their reality is they have none.

I've always had large breasts naturally & still do even tho I'm trying to lose BF -- still a D cup -- but due to this I also have sagging. I've considered getting a lift which would also require implants so I don't lose size.

Since I have a "curvy" figure having the boobs makes me look more proportionate -- my hips are wide & if I had small boobs my hips would look huge!! Plus, the breastages make me personally feel more feminine. They don't hurt my back or anything else & dont' really get in the way at all. The sagginess tho does bother me a lot.
 
I've gone from a small D to a small B just from one child. I also have wide hips, so now that I'm a B, (and look completely flat in a sports bra!) I feel like I've gone from looking like an hourglass to a coke bottle!

It's just that....everyone has different things that make them happy. You are happy with smaller, others are happy with larger. We all have different ideas of what we want, which is they beauty of the world....we are all different.
 
Well, you don't have to worry about your boobs getting permanently bigger with pregnancy...unless you're just bigger all over.

You WILL probably have to deal with them getting smaller, or at least a whole lot less perky.

I still wonder if I'll end up getting a reconstruction (I'm put off by the pain and the possibility of scars). I don't think I'll get implants, just because of breast-cancer concerns. I've already had a lump, mammography, and needle biopsy done. It's a scary process that took a month or more to resolve. And I had all that time to prepare for the worst. So I know that I don't want to do anything that would make it harder to arrive at an early diagnosis.

I tend to be a little paranoid, you know.
 
But as to the WHY this is a popular choice among bodybuilders...

There's the issue of losing all that body fat and building up a muscularity that heretofore has been available only to very hard-working men. If they're competing, they're expected to get hugely muscular with very little bodyfat, with visible vascularity, and yet look feminine. Hair and makeup can only do so much.

Although I don't know much about silicone, saline under the muscle probably looks the same as silicone because the pectoral muscle covers most of the implant. Overs look very round and eye-appealing, but are not necessarily an option to everyone. It really depends on what kind of breasts, size, elasticity, etc she has right now. Under provides more of a lifting appearrance for someone who might need a lift in the somewhat near future. The overs, in some cases, tend to sag more with time, but have a much shorter recovery time. I wanted overs, but my surgeon told me that unders would look best for my breast type.

Silicone feels much more natural than saline.



I'm sorry I'm a little confused on how big you are going.
Size F you said?
 
thanks for the responses. i've just always wondered why women chose to make their boobs bigger.

"Well, you don't have to worry about your boobs getting permanently bigger with pregnancy...unless you're just bigger all over."

I am totally worried about my boobs getting bigger. My mom's chest became huge after having kids and they never went back to their original size, even when other parts of her body did. I know she's always been self-conscious about it -- I guess this might explain why I never understood the attraction of having bigger breasts.
