I would like to do saline implants due to concerns about silicone. I know a lot of doctors say it's safe but I just feel way more comfortable with saline. The issue is I also want to do them over the muscle because I'm extremely active (can do 15 pull ups). Are there any successful cases of saline being placed over the muscle, maybe with fat grafting too so it doesn't look fake? I am a B cup with a wider rib cage for context.

Answer: BTW, you can still do pull ups with saline behind the muscle; I have a couple of triple..... crown body builders with sale behind the muscle who can still do all the "ups". I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Implant selection Yes saline implants can provide a natural look when placed over the muscle as long as the correct implant is chosen. But it's important to understand that those with implants placed beneath the muscle are able to return to active lifestyles once healed, including pull ups. I've included a video that discusses the two implants and other considerations for breast augmentation surgery that I hope you find helpful.
