If I choose to redo my implants (d cup saline over the muscle TUBA) to silicone, under the muscle same size...will I have issues with look? In other words is going from over to under a problem?

Answer: Pocket site change after Breast Augmentation
If you have D sized implants on top of the muscle, and you take the same volume and go under the muscle, you could have issues with the overlying skin. In an over the muscle situation, the implant is within the breast itself and fills it up. The under the muscle pocket is high and the implant sits along the ribs and pushes forward. If there is any redundant skin or sagging, the skin may not be filled out properly, and could be loose or sagging above and beyond the level of the implant. And no, you would not be happy with that look. Sometimes in that situation the skin needs to be tightened in the form of a lift. Your plastic surgeon will tell you if you are a good candidate for a pocket site change, and whether or not you would require any type skin tightening procedure.

Answer: Changing pockets with implants
Changing the breast implant pocket form overs to under the muscle is done all the time. It should be fine.
