Why Would my Doctor Recommend Above the Muscle Breast Implant?

If you have already have some "slight drooping" your doctor is probably trying to avoid the scars related to a mastopexy, aka, breast lift. If you are a bodybuilder, it would be appropriate to go over the muscle, also known as subglandular.  Those would be the 2 main reasons for placing the implants subglandular, as opposed to under the muscle, also known as subpectoral.  It would be best to have an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon if the initial surgeon cannot explain their recommendation.  Best of luck to you.

It is not simple to say why your doctor would recommend to place the implants above the muscle.  Many times when it is done, it is for shaping reasons- for example if you have tubular shaped breasts.  I would recommend asking your surgeon for more specific information to help you make a more informed decision.
