Unders/Overs
I was totally set on getting unders but lately I have been considering overs. Did anyone get unders and wish they got overs???
I mainly want overs because I want SLIGHTLY the more-fake look..... But, having 2 kids, I don't know if my breast tissue would support having overs. PLUS, I think my Dr. majorly prefers unders...................Grr. Decisions, decisions. |

Hi Whitney!
My PS doesn't do overs at all! I'm not sure why, maybe I'll ask for you while I'm there............. |

Hey Whitney,
Same as the other girls, my PS prefers unders and 90% of the work he does is unders, but if someone has a strong preference for overs he will do them. B |

Every PS has preferences. Mine does overs on 99% of his patients.

I wanted overs at the time, but I wanted salines so there would have been a high chance of visible rippling... I ended up with partial unders & Im very happy with them, so no, now that I have them I don't wish I did anything different. The only thing that bugs me is a bit of distortion when I'm working out (which is every day) so I have to be sure to wear full coverage tanks/t-shirts to the gym.

I have unders and love the way they look. I don't think that I considered overs.

I've heard that it is not more difficult to detect breast cancer on someone with overs, It just requires a doctor that knows how to test women with implants. The mammogram is not harder to read for the technician, as long as they take additional views and know what they are doing. This is 2007, and technicians do this sort of thing everyday, due to a large number of women have implants nowadays. This is just what my doc told me...

I worry about long term...like do they sag faster? I've seen both and you can get great results with both. I think its just a personal decision. Good luck

True, more and more techs have experience with implants-BUT it takes a lot more manipulating to get the image they need. It's all based on the experience of the tech that's doing the films. Go somewhere where they have a ton of experience with implants and you should be good to go! If they don't have experience though-they may not compress hard enough or get enough of the breast tissue in the film.
Here was my deal with implants and mammos- they can see every scar- and those scars look like shadows on the films-thus causing the need for more views-more exposure to radiation. |

I think different placements for different breasts. I preferred unders but my surgeon said I'd look better with overs because of the shape of my breasts. I have overs and I have to say, the recovery is really not that bad. Few more risks with overs but each has their own pros and cons. I'd trust what the surgeon recommends for you. Usually girls with less breast tissue end up with unders.

I just turned 27 end on Aug., and I've had 3 sonograms on my left breast due to what looks like an inverted nipple and underneath a type of fibrosystic mass. The day of my surgery I will be getting a mammogram just to be for sure.(they usually don't give mammograms to younger women, just mostly women who are 40 or over.) 2 years after my son was born, my nipple started to go inward a bit, but is not what they call "inverted". It is a "shy nipple". Breast cancer can strike at any age, as I have been stressing about this since i was 24, ever since my nipple started looking different. They have only done sonograms and say to "come back in 6 months" over and over. The placement of the implants I'm getting weren't my choice, it's just what the PS recommended for me. My mammo doc told me that whatever placement you get, there ARE qualified techs that know how to take additional views. I live in Dallas, TX, so i guess i don't worry about the mammo techs expertise since I don't live in B.F.E. The extra exposure to radiation does not scare me, I would rather them take additional views if they felt they needed to, with overs or unders. Also, it was said somewhere that overs have a higher risk of developing cc, which i believe to be untrue. Nikki developed cc TWICE and she had unders both times. If you are going to develope cc, then it's going to happen no matter what placement you have. But, like i said, i didn't choose overs for myself, my PS did. And I have been dealing with this breast cancer issue for YEARS, but all i can do is just trust what my PS says. So, please don't think that since i'm young that i have this " i'm not worried about breast cancer attitude", because it has definitely caused me lots of stress over the last few years. I've been waiting to hear i don't have cancer for almost 3 years just so i can finally go on a consult with a PS for implants. Again, Breast cancer is serious so every woman should stay on top of their breast when it comes to that, over and under girls. It's important that you do monthly self breast exams and see a doctor for an exam at least once a year.

I'm confused by this. It's ALWAYS your boob on top. The only difference is whether it's under both your breast AND your muscle or just under your breast. Implants are never placed on top of your breast though.

The pectoral muscle will distort with submuscular (unders) placement. if you try to get on a boat or out of a pool using upper body strenght, for instance, you will see the distortion when you pull yourself up when you have unders.

I have partial unders b/c I have very little breast tissue. Had my breast tissue not been an issue I would have loved overs. I hate the distortment I get when I flex. Karaoke went from unders to overs, you may want to PM her. I know she was very excited to be able to switch to overs when she had her redo and she loves them.
