How Do Saline Breast Implants Look if Placed over the Muscle?

The look of implants - either saline or silicone - is dependent on your overlying skin. If you are able to pinch a significant amount of skin (more than 2 cm) then you may do well with subglandular (over the muscle) breast implants. Otherwise, you may do better with submuscular implants which would have that added coverage of the muscle tissue. Good luck with your surgery.

Breast implants placed over the muscle will have less distortion by the muscle, though the upper part of the implant will likely be noticeable. It can give a somewhat "unnatural" look and feel, though this depends on how much native breast tissue you have. Advantages include easier recovery, less implant movement with muscle contraction and maintenance of muscle strength. It is a valid option in the right patient.

Sarah,
Saline implants placed over the muscle can look very natural. It is dependent on whether or not you have enough soft tissue (skin, fat and breast) to adequately cover and camouflage the implant. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will determine if you are a candidate. Good luck!
