Under Muscle Breast Augmentation for Tight Pectorals?

February 17, 2009
Asked By:Melinda75 in MA

I'd like to enhance my breasts and am looking at the options.  I am a fitness competitor and trainer and I worry about the effects of under the muscle implant placement. I have a tendency toward very tight pectorals which has resulted in some issues with my training. I am a full B cup (small C depending on the bra). I would like to go up, maybe a little more than one cup, but less than two. My sister recently got implants and her doctor does not even offer over the muscle procedure. Is this a standard in Breast Augmentation now? It seems like everything I read leans toward under the muscle. Would "unders" be an option for me with my training concerns and chronically tight pectorals?
