Do breast implants look bigger if they are placed over the muscle than under the muscle? Is there a specific breast shape look better if the implants are placed over the muscle? Does placing the implants over the muscle increase the risk of making the breast saggy?
Answer: Difference Over time, the size will be about the same for under and over the muscle, however, under the muscle avoids the edge look and has less rippling and sagging. If you have minimal tissue or need a lift, placing the implants behind the muscle will give a better long term look.

Answer: Breast Implants on Top of Muscle not My Preference! #breastaugmenatation #breastimplants Breast implants placed on top of the muscle (subglandular) tend to look less natural than implants placed under the muscle. Think of placing implants on top of the muscle vs. under the muscle as if you were to place something under a sheet vs. a blanket. The three reasons I usually place implants under the muscle: appears more natural, less likelihood for capsular contracture, and perhaps less likelihood to interfere with mammograms. Definitely discuss your concerns and questions in person with a board certified (ASPS Member) plastic surgeon.

Answer: Do breast implants look bigger if they are over the muscle? It is not unreasonable to increase the size by about 10% due to compressive forces if breasts implants are not placed over the muscle. Submuscular is a better choice for a number of reasons including reduced risk of capsular contracture, better longevity, and greater implant coverage. Very few breast augmentation patients have enough breast tissue to permit a subglandular augmentation

Answer: May need breast lift with implant to maximize projection Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size or provided photographs. Implants are not lifetime devices and bigger implants are more unstable. The only thing holding up the implant is the skin envelope and 30% are removed by 6 years. Shaped implants are textured and have been associated with BIA-ALCL. I would need more information to give you a more accurate answer. If you want to look bigger you may need a breast lift with implants.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
