Breast augmentation after breast implant removal - 150cc, will it be possible to feel it? (Photo)

Question

I am wondering: if I take very small implants behind the muscle (150 cc) will it be possible to feel it then? Or will it feel like my own breasts? I am asking this because I would not like my bed partners to be able to feel my implants.

Good morning and thank you for your question.  I typically recommend placing a silicone gel implant below the muscle because they do tend to feel very natural.  Can't guarantee that your partner won't feel them.

There are a few factors that contribute to the degree that an implant is felt.  The amount of natural tissue you have is one factor.  The more natural tissue you have, the more you'll feel that other than the implant.  Implant placement is another factor.  Placing the implant beneath the muscle will allow coverage for the upper portion of the implant.  Silicone versus saline is yet another consideration.  Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue than saline.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Dear Vivid860265,
it is hard to tell for sure but you shouldn't be able to feel breast implants so easily if they are placed behind the muscle. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the way implants feel. Placing implants under the muscle will provide additional coverage over the implant in very thin women. The silicone or 'gummy bear' style implants also have a more natural feel than saline implants. Implants also come in a range of different 'gel thicknesses'. The more highly cohesive gels are firmer and will have a less natural feel than the slightly less cohesive options that have a more natural feel.

Thanks for your question. It is unlikely that a small implant behind the muscle will be felt by your partner. Best of luck!
