Does going under muscle make breast implants look smaller?

Implants placed under the muscle may look a little smaller versus those placed subglandularly. There are some benefits to going under the muscle such as disguising the upper portion of the implant and lower occurrence of capsular contracture. Your surgeon will advise you if it is recommended for you to increase your implant size further.

Hello, thank you for your question. We typically advise going up by 15-20cc when we have found the "right" size because the implant when placed under the muscle or the breast tissue may appear slightly smaller in the size visually compared when you are trying an implant on in the clinic. Of course this is a patient to patient base. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your options.
