Is 400cc smooth silicone implants above the muscle a good idea for my fit body type? (photos)

I appreciate
your question.

The best way
to determine implant size is based on chest wall measurements that fit your
body. Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you
want or need to achieve.

Implants
under the muscle, there is less risk of capsular contracture. Anatomic
implants tend to give a more natural shape with more nipple projection.

The best way
to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a
board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative
breast surgery.

Best of luck!

unless you are in body building  contests, go under the muscle you will have less capsular contracture and less rippling

You small preop breast size puts you at risk for rippling after augmentation if you choose the subglandublar pocket placement.  I'd suggest a submuscular pocket to get more coverage over the implant.  

On a petite frame, implant visibility increases significantly.  When an implant >350cc is placed above the muscle, it is almost always visible, and you will notice rippling.  Highly cohesive silicone textured (gummy bear) implants would likely have fewer complications, if you want the implants placed above the muscle.

Hello. You would benefit from a breast augmentation. You would need to see a BCPS for an examination and breast measurements to determine the best implant size. Goal photos or a simulator photo are also very useful to convey your expectations to your surgeon.Above the muscle has been suggested for patients that work out but this concept is a fallacy. Below the muscle creates better aesthetics. Discuss the possibilities with your BCPS.
