Can an over muscle breast implants switch under the muscle? This can only happen surgically if the msucle is detached from the chest wall.

Can an implant move from it's place over the muscle?

An implant that is placed on top of the muscle cannot move under the muscle if that pocket has never been created. If there is tethering between the implant capsule and the muscle, or the implant is placed in the so-called "sub-facial" plane on top of the muscle, you can see minor movement of the implant with muscle contraction.

OVER the Muscle Breast Implants do NOT move under the Muscle

If you had ONE Breast Augmentation in which your implants were placed OVER the Pectoralis Major muscle, the implants cannot burrow their way under the muscle. On the other hand, if you had a previous breast augmentation in which the implants were placed OVER the muscle but were changed to an UNDER the muscle placement, such implants CAN flip back to an over the muscle location if the pocket above the muscle is not sealed off.

Breast implants do not shift in position.

Hi. The position of breast implants (over or under the muscle) is determined only by the shape, size, and position of the implant pockets made during surgery.

Over the muscle implant will not move to under the muscle

It will better if you provide more informations and pictures. In general implants will not change position by themself.

Migration of Breast Implants

Breast implants can sometimes migrate or move from the position in which they were originally placed. However, I do not feel that it would be possible for over the muscle implants to move under the muscle since that space has never been created.
