How Do Implants Feel Natural Feel Under The Muscle?

Several things go into having a breast implant feel (and look) the most natural.

My opinions here, others may differ.

First, under or partially under the muscle hides the implants better.  They look and feel more natural.

Conservative size choices, where the implant diameter doesn't exceed the diameter of the breast, tend to produce more realistic results.

Silicone implants feel and look better than saline implants.

Artistic choices with respect to breast droop, tubular breast problems, breast asymmetry, nipple appearance all factor in as well.

Although the implant is under the muscle, there are also layers of natural fat, breast tissue, and skin that will give it that soft feel. Muscle is also very soft and gets thinner as time goes on.

There are pros and cons to placing an implant above or under the muscle.  When implants are placed under the muscle it takes longer for that muscle to stretch and loosen up than it does for breast tissue to soften.  Initially, your implants will probably sit a little high and be very tight.  I tell my patients that I don't look for my final results with over the muscle placement for two or three weeks, under the muscle for two or three months.  I also tell them that the implant is pushing the chest muscle out into the breast so that the muscle is now a part of the breast.  With that in mind, I advise them to avoid doing flys and other exercises in the gym designed to build up the chest muscle.  We want that muscle soft and pliable, not tight and toned.
