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: 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.

Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation Surgery / Breast Enlargement -- Implant Location, Incision Location, Silicone Gel Breast I You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. I also take into account their overall height and weight, the size and shape of the underlying chest and ribcage, the tightness and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of natural breast tissue. Prior to the procedure, we discuss and make decisions regarding location of the incision, whether to place the implant under or over the chest muscle, and what type of implant to use (I offer multiple types of silicone gel breast implants, as well as saline implants).
