Have very little breast tissue, will exchanging implants from under to over the muscle make the implant noticeable? Over 20+ years ago I had saline implant surgery, since then (March 2022) they've ruptured. I'm looking to replace them with silicon. My first set were placed under the muscle. The new Im considering placing above, however, with having very little breast tissue I'm affaid the implant will be noticable With the cohesivness of the implants now should that be a concern? Im also looking to go larger 500cc +
