I've seen 2 different and very good plastic surgeons, both have said I should go with silicone, but one said I should go with under the muscle and the other said I need to go over.
I'm pretty slim and if I pinch my upper chest skin I have less than 2cm. Every thing I have read tells me under the muscle is best. I don't know what to do?

Answer: Under the muscle If you have thin tissue coverage, then the best placement for the breast implant is under the chest muscle. It provides more coverage, better shape, better for mammograms and has been documented to have lower capsular contracture rate. The implants will move when you flex the chest muscle so patients who are body builders may have concerns about that but otherwise most patients who are thin will do better with under the muscle placement.

Answer: I generally prefer under the muscle I generally prefer to place the implant under the muscle especially with a thin patient. There are many options in breast augmentation. Educate yourself about the different choices. The more soft over the implant the more natural the result. If you are thin and you place the implant above the muscle any degree of capsular contracture wiill give you a very rounded, implanted appearance. If your goal is a more natural result then below the muscle may be the best approach.
