Will implants look smaller if your ribs go inward due implant pressure?

Asked By:DESPERTATEWITHMY LIPS in Madrid, NE

I have 700cc ultra high profile implant and i am very happy, i have read large implants have more complications but to me is worth the risk even if it means more surgeries. I have read here in the site that large implants can make chest wall concave by the pressure the implant place on the ribs making them go inward. My question is.. If this happends will the implants look smaller than they look now?
