I am very interested in getting silicone breast implants under the muscle so that they look more natural. Can I still get this procedure done if I had a muscle tear injury 14 years ago? The injury still flares up if my breast is squeezed too roughly and frequently. I get some little scar tissue lumps that come up and my pectoral muscle feels achy and stiff.

It depends if implants are placed below or above muscle. Everyone is different to how they react to surgery and pain levels. Below muscle usually has more discomfort and pain level would be about 3-4 on scale of 1-10. Above muscle would be less at about 2-3. Again, there is variability.
