I had silicone implants for many years under the muscle, had them replaced with over the muscle and don't like the look. Now I want to get them put back under the muscle, but I heard that once you get breast implants over the muscle, you can't go back to under the muscle. Is this true?

Answer: Not True
Breast implant pocket position is changed often. I perfer under the muscle since the look more natural, in my opnion. This change shnould not be a problem

Answer: Changing position of implants to subfascial
After multiple planes and surgeries there is only one technique that will deliver a beautiful shape and lasting result in my opinion, subfascial placement. I commonly use a technique called 'cold-subfascial placement' to correct undesirable results of multiply operated breasts with beautiful results. this technique allows the use of strong structural tissue in your body to create an internal brassiere to hold and shape the implant in a tear drop form. It also gives relative protection to the breast tissue and skin from stretching and gravity. I hope this helps!
All the best,

Answer: Going back Under the muscle
Without examining you, it's difficult to say exactly what can/ cannot be done but generally, I would think that it wouldn't be a problem to go back under the muscle. I don't usually recommend sub-glandular (over the muscle) placement - I would be curious to see why you switched. Do your research regarding the surgeons you visit - make sure to choose a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (not cosmetic surgery) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. From here, you know you are selecting from qualified surgeons. Most board certified plastic surgeons would suggest sub-muscular placement for better long term results.
