Saline implants over the muscle - can this be done without looking fake?

Asked By:Adventurous287575 in New York, New York

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.
