At my consult last year, I chose to get silicone implants placed under the muscle, incision in the crease, but still not too sure yet of profile shape. What are the differences in final look and results between smooth round moderate and smooth round moderate plus? I want 500cc but i've read that under the muscle placement somewhat "flattens out" implants; because of this reason would it be best to choose 550cc so that the final result will look like a 500cc? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Moderate plus has slightly more projection The implants are mentor type implants, and the moderate plus will have slightly more projection and slightly smaller diameter for a given size. Your surgeon will measure your chest diameter and take your goals into consideration when chosing the implant, however I agree that the difference between the two should be minimal.

Answer: "Flatten Out" of Implant Under Muscle Just A Myth
One of the great myths out there is that the muscle will flatten theimplants and make it appear smaller when underneath the muscle. This is just a myth. When done correctly, the muscle should stretch just like the skin, and therefore be just as loose and soft. If it wasn't, the implant would be tight and feel firmer. If it is nice and soft, and sits in the appropriate space, then in should be the exact same size as over the muscle. With regards to the type of implant, I use the moderate plus implant 80% of the time. I think it does a better job of giving women both the size and the projection. For the same width, the moderate give you 1.5cm less projection. It doesn't sound like a lot, but if you had a 500cc moderate on one side and a 500cc moderate plus on the other, ytou would be able to tell. In your case, i wouldgo with the 500cc moderate plus implant. I hope this helps.
