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: Can I get away with over the muscle implants 500CC? Hello, I perform under the muscle as well as above the muscle. It would be beneficial to view your wish photos. But, I would recommend above the muscle, under the subfascial lining. You won't have the risk of muscle animation, bottoming out, etc. You will also be able to get closer together and have more cleavage when going on top of the muscle. All the best, Dr. Joe

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.
