Changing from "under" to "over" the muscle

I agree that the changes your are considering are big ones so please do your research. The distortion you are getting from the implants being under the muscle will be taken care of when you place the implants over the muscle BUT there are also many con's associated with placing implants over the muscle. I normally wouldn't recommend it but I would evaluate after examining the patient. Make sure your surgeon has experience and is a board certified plastic surgeon. more

Plane change for breast implant animation: know your options

Mucscle flexion deformity with breast implants under the muscle, also called animation deformity, is actually fairly common. Switching to over the muscle will eliminate the problem but there are important trade-offs and another option to consider is the split muscle plane (see pictures on my website). One of the reasons implants are put under the muscle is for coverage and a more natural appearance, but the muscle is typically cut off of its attachment to the rib cage which is why it then... more

Under or Over

Changing the position of the implants to above the muscle may help with your contraction deformity. However, if your breast tissue is thin, then your implant may be more apparent or lead to more rippling. So, you will need to weigh the risks and benefits of the procedure. Good Luck.

Breast Aug Changes

The changes you are considering are reasonable. The switching to above muscle will eliminate the un-natural muscle movement. The size difference is significant (405-310) and you didn't mention being unhappy with the size. I personally prefer smooth silicone implants because there is less rippling in my experience.

Swithcing position of implants

If you do not have alot of soft tissue coverage., you may notice more rippling, but the flexion deformity shoudl be better. Of course, the implants are not as wide and will give about the same projection.
