Under or over the muscle? Does my skin look thick enough for over the muscle implant with a lift? (Photo)

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.

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.
