Answer: Breast implants When performing a submuscular breast augmentation, your chosen implant size will look slightly smaller after surgery. Therefore, I do recommend sizing up one size larger in your implants as that will compensate for the distance. Book a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself to discuss the best treatment/surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: Not necessarily.. The right question to ask in this setting is: how 'natural' do you want your implants to look? The sub-muscular plane provides the most harmonious and natural looking result. It is also the placement with the least risk of capsular contracture. Many patient's are focused on a number when often the best results happen when your surgeon understands your aesthetic goals and you select an implant and surgical plane together. hope this helps!

Answer: Muscle 500 cc is quite a large implant. I would make sure that your surgeon fully explains the risk of using a very large implant in a breast augmentation. I would not recommend using an implant this large in a subfascial/subglandular pocket. I would not recommend an implant this large in general. I would go see a board-certified plastic surgeon (with 6 year integrated plastic surgery training and 1 year The Aesthetic Society accredited fellowship).

Answer: Under vs over muscle 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.
