Over the Muscle Breast Implant Placement Best for Sagging from Nursing?

February 5, 2009
Asked By:beccatj in tx

I had 2 more consultations for breast augmentation today, and now I'm even more confused. I'm a 36C (deflated C) and do have a small amount of sagging from nursing. One of the doctors I went to today said that he wanted to go under the muscle, and that I didn't need a lift. The other one (board certified plastic surgeon) said that he wanted to go over the muscle and use an HP implant because I have some drooping, but not enough for a lift. What is the major difference between going over and under the muscle? Will going over really give me upper pole fullness? I had always heard that going under was best, but I was told that because I have a good amount of breast tissue, going under wouldn't look right, and going over would give me a bit of a lift as well. I liked both of the doctors today, and am so excited about getting a breast augmentation. I just have to figure out whether to go over or under. Please help!
