I do not know what I want to do . I've been looking online for over the muscle results / under the muscle results and the pros and cons for both but I just need some advice . Does my skin look thick enough for over the muscle implant with a lift . And yes I know I'll need a lift due to my breasts sagging . Thank you !

Answer: Under or Above Muscle Under the muscle is the safer, more predictable procedure without a doubt. There are many reasons including a lower capsular contracture rate, less implant visibility/palpability, and longer more durable results.

Answer: How your skin looks doesn't really matter Hi Gurlgirl, Whether or not to put implants under or above the muscle is much more than just how they will look. In my opinion, the ONLY advantage, to putting implants in "over-the-muscle" is that the recovery can be easier. Otherwise, over-the-muscle implants: 1. can obscure mammograms because the implant interrupts breast tissue. 2. the implant support is solely on the skin, possibly causing earlier drooping. 3. your risk of capsular contracture is also higher with implants over the muscle. The advantages of under the muscle are 1. lower risk of Capsular contracture. 2. Nicer slope to the breast and some muscle support of the implant. 3. Implants are less likely to obscure the view in your mammograms. I hope this gives you more insight into this decision. Keep in mind that every surgeon has their own opinion. Best Wishes.
