Which is Better for Dense Breasts, Implants Placed Under or over the Muscle?

May 1, 2013
Asked By:laura110 in Ventura, CA

I have dense "D" cup breasts with sagging and ptosis. I am getting a breast lift with Sientra high profile implants, 695 cc on one side and 655 on the other. The doctors I have seen measured my breasts 27 cm and 30 cm on the other. One doctor said I have plenty of tissue, so I should consider over the muscle placement. The other doctor said he would put the implant under the muscle so they will look more like my own breasts. What is the general consensus for implant placement in dense breasts?
