Implants Under the Muscle?

Sometimes, the only way to truly know is by actually going in surgically.  Some women are able to flex their pectoralis muscles a fair amount, and can actually cause their implants to pull out to the sides a little with extreme flexion.  However, this is not always a guarantee, since some women cannot actively flex their pec muscles no matter what they do. Here is something you could try to see -  If you sit down on the floor, put your palms flat on the floor, and... more
