overs and unders

by Wee Lou 25th April 2014, 8:18 pm

Ok another curious question for you experienced BA ladies. Im going for my surgeon consultations and was wondering if you can chose yourself if you want overs??
While being on here iv saw overs on girls who are initially small like myself, and I do like that look it gives. I also think if you go for overs the re-op must be easier in 10 yrs surely?

Then theres the partial, what is the difference?

I will tell you the reason I would rather, for me.. I like the round high profiles, and I am also scared of too much pain and the long slow recovery. I know there is pros to both of them and both can look as fantastic. I want your opinions girls pls.
I think the fear has been put in me from hearing of a friend of mine who knew a girl who was crying and regretting getting it done (unders it was) and could hardly cope. shrug

I had overs 19 days ago & so far couldn't be happier x I've been really luck and not had any pain through my recovery, obviously I've had discomfort but that's to be expected x

by Wee Lou 25th April 2014, 8:49 pm

wow that is really lucky! did u have a choice? or were you told it would be overs Joharry1? x

My experience from the consultations I've had is that they recommend you have unders if you have less than a certain measure of breast tissue to cover the implants. I was borderline on my leftie but below the limit on my right so was recommended for unders. Apparently if I have overs there's a possibility you might be able to feel/see the implant.

I will def man up if I need unders lol. im so impatient wish I knew what I was getting and what size x

I had unders didn't have a choice as didn't have enough breast tissue.

First 3-4 days I found uncomfortable I had to keep on top of pain killers. Now 8 days on I'm only taking paracetamol in the morning xx

When's your consolation? Have you got a few booked in?

by Joharry1 25th April 2014, 9:06 pm

I was advised overs Hun even though I didn't think I'd have enough breast tissue but he worked his magic & I love my boobies xx

by Wee Lou 25th April 2014, 9:10 pm

My first one is Monday and il take it from there.Its been about 3 wks of waiting so finding this site has been a blessing. Amyboobs what size were u after or hoping for? im thinking I want a C cup (im finding it hard to see from the pics the actual sizes) xx

I'm not Sure yet as it's still far too early to be measured correctly but I'm wearing a 32d sports bra. I was a 32a before x

I had unders, I'm a bit of a deans queen and I was fine by day 5 x

Unders is normally partials, it's very rare to have full Unders. This is normally reserved for reconstruction.

Placement is often determined by your body rather than choice. It depends on breast tissue and also how thick your skin is, how boney your chest is etc. Your surgeon should recommend. However, if anyone says to you 'I prefer to do this placement' run a mile - they're not thinking about what's best for your body.

Recovery wise I can only speak to Unders. It was hard work and very achy, and yes, depressing at times, but that's coz of the GA too. There's going to be an element of pain and discomfort regardless. The best thing to do is go see a few different surgeons, and see what the general consensus for your body is.

I had unders and was worried about the pain. I was petrified I'd be in too much pain to work etc. I wish I hadn't worried and enjoyed the whole thing more. I was uncomfortable when I woke up and felt a bit stiff. The pain was like gym aches down my sides nothing around my boobs apart from the strange feeling of it being tight and feeling like my boobs were stuck on. By the second day I was fine walking to town, washed my hair over the bath, had a bath, shaved my legs all things I thought I would be in pain trying to do. Everyone's pains different but it's not that bad I felt worse having a sickness bug xx

I had unders (split muscle) and i didnt have any breast pain at all. I had issues with reactions to ga but no boob pain.

Everyone is different and the surgeon usually decides x

I had unders,.no choice as I had no tissue was in.
awful pain for a good 2 weeks then still very sore after that so was on slow release tramadol

I had a reop a year later and that was amazingly straight forward but I'm looking at another reop to change placement to overs xx

by Dayzeee 26th April 2014, 10:44 am

I had sub facial overs 2 weeks ago and can honestly say I've had hardly any pain at all, I just took paracetamol and ibuprofen for 6 days nothing since. X

by Wee Lou 26th April 2014, 5:03 pm

Thank you. it does seem wer all individual in this :) Amyboobs I was asking cos yours look amazing!! (for me) and also Saharas, but this is looking at a picture and im sure D or DD would be too big for me..or maybe im getting greedy hahaha xx

by **Charlii** 26th April 2014, 5:21 pm

Don't think about the cup size, it's entirely misleading. If you'd have told me I'd be a dd/e post op I'd have run a mile, but the surgeon reccomended a size, and they suit me perfectly.

by Wee Lou 26th April 2014, 5:28 pm

yeah yours look gorgeous huni. your right im going to stop this size thing. Great advice! Girls in my work today (who are naturally large chested) were going on saying what happens If I have kids they get too big, or if I regret it and also they wish they never had theirs..is this all ways to try put me off or something?! cos you know what..aye right nothing will and I have to laugh at girls with big busts saying theyd rather not have them, don't believe it for a minute Hysterical

This is something I want and no one will out me off xxx

by Sahara1981 26th April 2014, 6:48 pm

You want what you should have been given naturally but it just hasn't happened.
I am so happy I've had mine done. Even my friends say I seem so much more confident.

It's your life hun do what's right for u x

by tinkerbell24 26th April 2014, 6:56 pm

take pictures of the look that you want and dont talk sizes alot of surgeons go with look and gives a rough cup size xx

by loui1981 26th April 2014, 9:16 pm

Don't rule out subfascial also as its kinda an in between. I was too droopy for unders without a lift as well although in a few years when I have mine changed I may look into a lift aswell

by rachij 27th April 2014, 3:03 pm

Hey,

At my first consultation I wss honest and said I go the gym a lot and do pump ( weights) and did also ask him which placement he preferred to do.

As I had told him I do weights he suggested overs but after op he did say to me I had very little skin and would be very stretchedand might see the implant.

If you've seen my avi you wouldn't be able to tell if I had had a ba just from the picture.

You can read [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] a BAAPS surgeons opinion on the best placement for each woman.

Go with an open mind, listen to the surgeon (they're the expert) and its always best to have at least two opinions also. Xxx

Hi cookie can I ask where u got your bra, it's gorgeous x
