I am 41 165lbs (220 highest weight) 5'4" 2 kids current Small B cup. I have had a consult and like the 500cc sizers. The Dr. I consulted with mostly does over the muscle implants and that is what he is offering me. His pros were about the recovery time and also mentioned the muscle pushing implants to the side and making lifting weights harder. However most Dr around me seems to offer or recommend mostly under the muscle. But the more I read I see it both ways. Opinions on 500CC overs

Answer: Over or under the muscle? There are actually 3 options. 1. Over the muscle. 2. Under the muscle and then a 3rd one that is kind of in-between and we call that sub-fascial. If I can go sub-fascial I really like it because it has advantages of both but in your case I just don't see you having enough soft tissue to be able to go in a sub-fascial plane or a sub glandular plane as I think you will see rippling of the implant very easily. It is hard to tell in photos but I would likely also give some consideration for a lift but that would be a decision to make in person. As for the 500 cc my only caution would be that your ligaments that hold your breasts to your chest wall look a little lax and that may pose a problem for holding up an implant.

Answer: Implants over the muscle Thank you for your question. Recently the trend is to place implants over the muscle. It prevents animation deformities and your chest muscle pushing your implants downward and laterally. There are advantages to both site placements, and I recommend you visit a Board-Certified Plastic Surgery to discuss your options.

Answer: It is possible The short answer to your question is that yes, an implant that large can be placed subglandular for you. The downside is that it is much more likely to be visible as an implant with potential rippling as well in that location. Dual plane placement (partially under the muscle and partly under the breast) is a great option that avoids some of the issues with over the muscle implants of such size, especially given you likely have less than 2cm of breast pinch from what i can tell in the photos in the upper medial area. Hope this helps!
