I have little to no breast tissue of my own after breastfeeding so submuscular placement would be my only option if I want to seem somewhat natural. I guess the real question is would lateral displacement occur everytime I used my pec muscle? Or is it more of an issue with excessive use and repetition as with excersizing (like push ups or chin ups) or weight lifting?

Answer: Lateral displacement Hello, I don't find that lateral displacement is a problem with most of my patients who have submuscular implants. If anything, this is a more common experience of my patients who have lost a massive amount of weight and their breast tissue is very loose.

Answer: Breast implants - How often is lateral displacement an issue with submuscular placement? Hello aatocboobies,Thanks for your question.In my experience, lateral displacement tends to occur when the change in size is great and patients use their pectoralis muscles a lot. Even if this was not your case, the capsule that forms around the breast implant is attached to the underside of the pectoralis muscle. Flexion of the muscle can result in implant motion and deformation. This is typically worse with larger implants.A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who understands athletic body types would be helpful in educating you about the possible ramifications of submuscular breast augmentation.Please get in touch if you have further questions.Take care,Dr. Shah
