Breast Augmentation Advice?

ad

Looking for advice from those who’ve been through breast augmentation

My girlfriend (36) and I have our first consult with a plastic surgeon next week and are doing homework beforehand.

She’s 5’4”, very lean/athletic, retired CrossFit, currently around a 34B after dropping all the carb weight from CrossFit for over a decade. She’s always had abs, but with weight loss over the last year her breast volume dropped. She’s wanted implants since her early 20s and now feels ready.

We’re trying to better understand:

CCs vs how they actually look on a lean but muscular frame
Realistic expectations for 300–350 cc vs 400–500 cc ranges (she’s leaning towards the 400s)
Recovery timeline, especially for someone who trains regularly
Long-term considerations: replacement, complications, things you wish you’d known

If you’re a woman with a similar build, or your lady has then and you have experience with under-muscle silicone (gummy bear, textured) implants, we’d really appreciate hearing:

What size you chose vs what you’d choose again
Anything you underestimated or overestimated
Advice for the consult itself (questions to ask, red flags, etc.)

Real-world experiences are appreciated more than hype.
Photos are welcome if you’re comfortable sharing, drop them over in Daily B. Thanks.

I prefer the half under the muscle look myself

My wife is 5’7” and very lean and athletic. Her natural size was very small, barely a B. She went with 600cc and came out as a full D cup. She is very pleased with them. Like one commenter said, if she is between sizes, always go with the bigger one. Rare is the woman who wishes that she would have gotten a smaller size. Don’t let the fact that they “have” to be replaced every so often deter her. I have known women who had their implants for 20 years with no issues…With respect to down time, my wife was out of the gym for about a month. She still did cardio, but could not start putting for about a month. She started back lifting very light and worked her way back into her normal weights. That is where your girlfriend will have to be very careful. She might be tempted to go back to her regular weight training too quickly after surgery. That is one area where my wife followed the surgeon’s guidelines very closely and she had no issues at all.

My wife is 5'6" and got 405cc gummy bear silicone over the muscle about 2 months ago. Went from a 34B to a 36D. No lift needed. I think they are the perfect size. If you're stuck between two sizes go with the bigger one. The surgery was easy, 45mins with a light anesthesia. I know recovery is different with everyone, and depends on over the muscle/under, but hers was pretty easy. Took it easy for 3-4 days with some mild pain. Only took 800mg of ibuprofen. After about a week she was up and about. Two weeks back to normal, and was back to working out after about 4 weeks. Her body will let her know if she pushes it too hard. She's more nervous about her upcoming gallbladder surgery than she was her boobs. Having it redone in 10yrs is dependent on the person, and if they have a reaction. Her Dr. said it was a possibility, but low. He said they would eventually need redone. but outside of complications should last over 10yrs. That's our experience. We're both super happy with the results. For anyone who hasn't seen them, head on over to the Daily Bitches thread, lol

Edit: she said they are half under and over called subglandular.

I read a post in a group im in about this. Tons of women commenting on their experiences with them. It was overwhelming negative. I had no Idea they hacd to be replaced every 10 years. A lot of women just opted to remove them at that point and not replace them. Others talked about long recovery from the procedure, complications from the procedure or after. It was eye opening for me.

My wife is the same height as yours and probably about the same boob size. I’d like them to be bigger. Idk anything about CCs, but I can say Cs or Ds look great on a small muscular chick.
