would moving my saline implants from under to over the muscle help me achieve a rounder, higher appearance? (photo)

Question

I currently have under the muscle Celine ultra high profile, and I do love them and love the look of them, but I have looked through some inspiration pics recently, and I have seems to be liking over the muscle implants that are like really round and higher up on the chest, my question is what switching to over the muscle Bhow to achieve that look or would I need to change to silicone? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for posting your question here!My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided, for a more detailed and personalized plan please consult with your plastic surgeon.
A lot goes into deciding where to place an implant . The below the muscle position gives an implant a more natural upper pole slope , less chances for capsular contracture and an additional layer that tends to hide rippling better. That being said it also carries a higher chance of implant laterization and animation deformity. 
Above the muscle gives you a more augmented look , the edge of the implant is a little more visible at the upper pole , but if you don't have much tissue above the implant you will have more visible rippling and you will have a higher potential for capsular contracture.
other factors to consider include a different implant profile or material (silicone ) and the cohesiveness of the gel used (more cohesive will retain upper pole fullness more) so I would encourage you to discuss your options with your surgeon in person.I hope this helps, Best of luck!

Dear barbbbieee,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. Based on your question, it looks like the change of implant position will not place your implants higher. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss what type of look you are wanting.  You can take along photos to help.  Your surgeon can let you know based on your anatomy if the wish look is possible and if so, how to achieve it.  Moving the implants may give you a rounder look but may result in other effects that are less desirable.

Moving implants in front of the muscle can give you a rounder appearance but not necessarily higher.  The weight of the breasts are only held by skin envelope and the breasts may descend.  You may want to consider fat transfers to the upper poles of the breasts, if you want additional upper pole fullness.  This is easier to do and less costly.

Best Wishes,
