How do saline breast implants look if placed over the muscle?

The good thing about saline implants above the muscle is that they move like normal breasts and have a quick recovery. The bad thing is that they often exhibit more wrinkling and rippling in the upper part of the breast. There is also a higher incidence of excessive scar tissue, or capsular contracture. I do this approach for patients who may be a bit droopy and don't want a lift, are professional bodybuilders, or are looking for a quicker recovery.
