overs or unders?

ahh ok this makes sense! i guess this would still be cheaper than the original cost of the op?
thanks for all your help and advice cookie! do you think ive covered everything now or is there anything else i should find out about before going in!
im also all stocked up on diff size bras/slippers/dressing gown and pillows! xx

I think you're doing great babe, I've answered on your other post.

The cost of surgery minus your breast implants is minimal babe, so don't expect any drastic drop in price LOL, we're only talking about £300. xx

oh really? ok i better start saving from now then just incase LOL! xx

Your joking babe, but I actually DO have a boobie fund on the go! haha!

haha! its always good to have some money put away just incase!
are you completely happy with yours now? sizewise etc? xx

I still feel they're a little to big for me but that's my own fault rather than my surgeons this time, he suggested I had 340s when I had my re-op, I insisted on the 410s as I panicked about being too small... hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it, had I had that I'd have listened to my surgeon babe... Overall though I'm much happier now than I was after my first surgery, but then I'd done a whole lot of research by the time I'd had my second op, so between myself and my surgeon we kinda came to a happy medium and I do have a great pair of boobs now. xx

Well from your pic they do look amazing hun!
glad your happier now! i originally asked dr khan for a D but can now see why they may look to big on me cause i am quite small! i think we all get a bit boob greedy! he reckons he can only fit 300cc in anyway and this will give me a C cup so ill be happy with that! :) xx

That's a very sensible attitude Nicola, yes, quite a few women get boob greed post-op, but realising your limits is a great attitude and will help you adjust so much post-op babe. xx

buy nuts mag, and take that to your next consultation, and point out to your surgeon what you like and what you dont like.
xx

What do you mean by partials? How does that work?

HI Dina,
partials is when some of the implant is over the muscle and some is under it!
ive got similar stats to you, AA cup and i im going to be a C cup. I also thought that with little or no breast tissue (i hardly have any) that they would be under the muscle to give a more natural look but the surgeon told me that sometimes this isnt always the better option so we're gonna discuss this on the day! x

Dina wrote:What do you mean by partials? How does that work?

Partials are otherwise known as a dual plane placement Dina. The top part of the implant is held by the muscle with the muscle being released at the bottom allowing the implant to be free underneath, only being 'partially' covered by the implant hun. xx

ive now found out what im having lol.... im having 380cc high profiles, not under the mucle but just behind the tissue?!
Because there high profile would any of you suggest i go for a 340cc instead? i dont wanna look like jordan lol xx

lol you would have to have a hell of a lot bigger to look like jordan. I think she had 1000cc at her biggest. Your are having overs then hun

congrats lindsay!
we're all different and can only hope our surgeons advise us in the best possible way! im taking pics of what i like with me on the day so i can show him exactly how i want them to look! x

Iv got high profile babe
and as you can see from my avatar I definately dont look like Jordan (worst look ha ha)
but mine are under muscle. Youre having an exciting placement :)

i like both of your boobs lol, wow 1000cc thats huge lol, defo dont wanna look like that, i wont know until the day if im goona go for a 340cc or a 380cc, but ur right, ive looked at so many different pics, and every woman is different, so they look different even if there the same size, janeybird urs are perfect for me, but it confuses me as urs says 260cc so im worried if i go 380cc there gonna look really silly, xx

hi lyndsaylouise
i had 350cc high profile overs and i am so far happy with the size xx

Hi Shellyj

Yours do look like a good size, Im currently a small A cup!! and very empty after having 2 children, so hoping a 380cc will look good, not huge, im just thinking if i go a 340cc ill wish i went bigger, yours are overs and look nice, not stuck on, which has put my mind at rest thanks xx

I am a bit late in on this thread, but can only echo what Cookie, Misf1, YR, Ruby Roo and all the others have already said xx

NM1 I have replied to your PM hun xx You may not like what you read, however, I would not want anyone to have to go through what I am going through, so have been completely honest with you xx

They say hindsight is a wonderful thing and boy, were THEY right whoever they were xx Wish I had done more research, gone for more consults, gained more knowledge and not been so blinded by own excitment...... ...........oh well, repent at my leisure I guess........

Much love xx and good luck girls xx

Ha, to add insult to injury, I have symmastia as well!......brilliant

Personally I was so glad I was able to have overs. I was advised that because I had strong chest muscles I could get muscle distortion with unders so thats just something else to think about if you have the choice. : )

There are pros and cons with all placements; your surgeon should offer you the placement that's best for you. It's a fact that some surgeons exclusively do unders (not good for sporty people) and some exclusively do overs (not good for those with little breast tissue). In my opinion that's totally wrong. Your surgeon should be able to tell you beforehand exactly what placement you'll be having. Leaving it to the day seems very risky to me.

Not trying to worry you lovely, but it's a sad fact that things do go wrong. How many consultations did you have? If you saw anyone else did they advise similar size/placement as your surgeon?

As for aftercare, you MUST get this in writing before your op. I know it sounds harsh but DO NOT HAVE SURGERY until you know the ins and outs of your aftercare. Most clinics offer 3-5 year aftercare, but then there are a few exceptions, like capsular contracture. Some things, such as rippling aren't covered. If you do have a complication and your surgeon leaves the company, what happens then? Some complications are due to surgeon's error yet are really difficult to get fixed for free.

The 10 years/lifetime on the implants is nothing to do with your aftercare with your surgeon and clinic. This literally means if there's a problem with the implant, like rupture, then they'll be replaced for free, but again you'll have to pay for surgeon, hospital fees, anaesthetic etc.

Again, I don't mean to worry you, but the worst thing would be to find out you haven't got the boobs you wanted because you didn't think to ask. I know consultations can be really scary as there's so much info to think about, but you need to be 100% confident in your surgeon and your clinic.

Wise words Roxy :good:

I WISH I had found this site before I booked and had my op xx I wish I had done more research xx I wish I had gone to more consults xx.....<deep sigh>

I wish I hadn't got so excited and carried away Well, I'm paying the price now that's for sure

Quite a few of us have payed the same price Kay, all we can do is try and help and hope the advice is heard.... xx

True, true xx I really wouldn't want anyone to go through what we have and have to live with sub standard work xx

I know it doesn't happen to everyone and I know that some PS put things right without hesitation xx and all though not ideal, I know that SOMETIMES things can go wrong, after all no one is perfect..........it's how they deal with it is the real test isn't it? xx

Don't be put of girls but please, please DO YOUR RESEARCH and if you have any doubts DO NOT JUMP IN xx take your time and do your homework xx
