Open to all over 200cc to 360cc - is it possible to place implant over the muscle? (Photos)

Since you have minimal upper breast fullness, I recommend placing the implants behind the muscle for best upper breast fullness and coverage of the implants. Otherwise, you may see the implant edge.

It's absolutely possible to place a breast implant over the muscle. This placement is known as subglandular or over-the-muscle placement.

Here's a breakdown of what that entails:

Placement: The implant is positioned directly behind the breast tissue and in front of the pectoralis major muscle (the chest muscle).
Suitability: This approach can be suitable for individuals who have enough existing breast tissue to provide adequate coverage of the implant, which helps to achieve a more natural look and feel. It's also often preferred by very active individuals as there's less chance of muscle movement affecting the implant's appearance.
Potential Advantages:
Less Invasive: Generally considered a less invasive procedure with potentially shorter recovery times and less post-operative discomfort compared to under-the-muscle placement.
No Muscle Interaction: The implant won't be affected by the movement or contraction of the chest muscles, which can sometimes cause animation deformity (distortion of the breasts during muscle flex).
Potentially More Natural Look: In individuals with sufficient breast tissue, it can create a very natural-looking result.
Good for Active Patients: Implants are less likely to move or distort during physical activity.

Dear Phenomenal200085,
I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time when they are protected under the muscle.
